The differences of opinion as to who is the legitimate representative of the Jewish community in Roumania to be seated in the Senate will be threshed out as a result of the action of a special Senate commission.
Rabbi Jacob Niemirower was recently designated by the Union of Jewish Communities of Old Roumania as the representative of the Jews in the Senate. A claim to the Senate seat was made by Rabbi Schor, representing the Jewish religious community.
Rabbi Niemirower was given to understand by the Senate Commission that unless the differences with Rabbi Schor are adjusted, the Jewish seat in the upper house will be declared vacant until a new law is passed concerning the proper method of nomination of the representative of the Jewish community in the Senate.
