Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren has decided to postpone his scheduled visit to the US and Canada, which was to have begun this week. According to circles close to the Chief Rabbi, he felt that the US elections would dominate Americans’ interest. One of the main objects of his visit will be to invite Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveichik of Boston to head a world convention of rabbis that would form a World Council of Rabbis to decide major religious problems. He said he plans to make the visit at a later date but did not specify when.
