Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveit-
chik, spiritual leader of modern
American Orthodoxy, has agreed
to visit Israel for the first time in 43
years. He was last in Eretz Yisroel
in 1933 when he was a candidate
for the chief rabbinate of Tel Aviv.
Relgious Jews in America have
speculated that he has not visited
Israel because he may have been
guided by an interpretation of
religious law that prohibits one to
leave Eretz Yisroel after coming
for a visit. Another American
Orthodox leader who has never
been to Israel is Rabbi Menachem
Schneerson, the Lubavitcher
Rabbi.
