While attending Temple University, she decided to make the rabbinate her career, she said.

"The first most important thing in my life is Judaism. I love every part of it," she said. "The career of a rabbi is the perfect career. It involves studying and teaching and speaking and counseling and meeting people and being a part of the community. It is working with all different types of people of all ages and helping people at critical times in their lives." In addition to being Beth Israel's chief spiritual leader, Ms.

(AP) A 26-year-old Philadelphia woman has taken over as head of this town's 55-year-old synagogue in what is believed to be the first hiring of a woman rabbi to lead a U.S.

congregation. Worldwide, there are only 22 women rabbis. But Linda Holtzman, the only child of a butcher and a keypunch operator, says opportunities for women in the Jewish clergy are unlimited. "It has only been seven years since there have been any women (rabbis) at all," she said in an interview. "It is just that women rabbis are all very young and just starting out." Many of them have entered positions in big-city synagogues where they act as assistant rabbis or education directors, she said.

"This is an alternative to out as an assistant in a large city and I think it is a nice one." Coatesville has a population of 12,300. Ms. Holtzman began rabbinical duties at the 110-family Beth Israel synagogue Aug. 1. Rabbi Wolfe Kelman of the Rabbinical Assembly, a major association of rabbis, called the appointment a "historical breakthrough." Orthodox Jews still do not1 allow women rabbis.

Ms. Holtzman attended the Re-constructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia. Her new congregation is Conservative. She says her desire to become a rabbi dates from age 12.

Los Angeles sheriff's spokesman Carl Rieger said Carlisle Higholt. 40, had been stabbed at least once in the chest. A bloody kitchen knife was found on the bathroom floor. "We don't know right now if the wound was self-inflicted or if she was stabbed by an intruder," said sheriff's spokesman Marv Cava-naugh.

He said there were no signs of forcible entry into the house. Mrs. Higholt was found sprawled in the bathroom of her spacious ranch-style home about 10 a.m., officials said. Her husband, Howard, a diagnostic X-ray specialist in nearby Torrance, was not home at the time, officers said Investigators said nothing appeared to have been stolen and the home had not been ransacked.

Policesaid the 32-year-old man was a suspect but withheld his name. "He did it, he did it, he killed them, I don't know why," screamed Loretta Beard, 24, when she rushed home from a hospital where she had spent the night with a sick 9-month -old daughter. Three of the children, Tony Beard, 3, Andrea Yvette preserve the 100-year-old town.
