Chicago fJTA) — A scientific study of Negro attitudes chows that Negroes feel more friendly toward Jews tnan toward oilier whites in the United Stales, according to a preliminary report on a survey made here by Benjamin H. Epstein, national director of the Anti-Dcfnniation League of B'nai B'rith. The survey, made by the University of California Survey Research Center, has been commissioned by the ADI,. Mr. Epstein spoki; here at the AOL national executive committee's anmuil meetin;;. Favor Jens Noting that he was1 releasing the interim report because talk of Negro antagonism toward Jews had seriously disturbed the Jewish community, Mr, fv[>Btcin said that the study disclosed that the attitudes of most Negroes t o w a r d s Jews were comparable to their attitudes toward whites in general. But. where there are differences, he said, they tend to be in favor of Jews. He said that N e g r o e s Becmed to feel that they shared minority group status with Jews, and that the Negro position as a persecuted minority had led Negroes to reject discriminatory behavior against other minorities.
O.tf/tllA, NKIIICASKA,
The survey had been taken chiefly in non-Southern urban areas, and special samples were studied in Hew York r.r.d Chicago as well as in Atlanta and Birmingham. According to the survey, Negroes are more opposed to discrimination against Jews in employment and social clubs than are non-Jewish whites. The study also showed that Negroes, more .frequently than non-Jewish whites, said they would not vote for a political candidate who had an antiSemitic platform, and that they would oppose any legislation to curtail Jewish immigration. ((liestions In r e s p o n s e to individual questions in the national survey, 24 per cent of the N e g r o e s polled said that Jewish landlords were better than other white landlords, while 7 per cent said they were worse; 20 per cent said Jewish store owners were better than other white store owners, while 7 per cent said they were worse; 34 per cent said Jews were better to work for than other whites, while l'J per cent said they were worse; 70 per cent said Jews were better than other whites regarding the hiring of Negroes; and 43 per cent believed Jews were more in favor of civil rights than other whites, while only 3 per cent fell Jews were Jess in favor.

Entry Into Common Market
Washington UTA)—West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhnrd told the National Press Club this week that West Germany has been trying to improve trade relations with Israel, and indicated that he favored broadening of the European Common Market to give Israel associate membership. West Germany is one of Europe's six m e m b e r s. Mr. Erhurd commented in response to a question that sought to elicit his views on broadening of the Common Market and whether Bonn would support Israeli associate membership.
The chancellor said the West German position had always been that his Government wanted to take other parties into the Common Market. He termed the failure of negotiation to admit Britain into the E.E.C. "tragic." The president of the Common Market, he said, agreed with him on widening membership. Mr. Erhr.rd said West Germany had been trying to work out trade arrangements with Israel, better than those heretofore in existence. He said there was definitely a possibility of closer German-Israeli association in the future.

Norman L. Halm, chairman of the Omaha Human Relations no-ird, expressed feelings of surprise and encouragement when asked for his reactions to the interim report of the study of Negro attitudes released by the Anti-Defamation League this weeic. Questions Figures "I'm delighted with the note of optimism offered by the preliminary report on the study,'' he said, "and I am hopeful that the completed study will document these early indications." Mr. Halm pointed out however that the percentages quoted in Mr. Epstein's report were too fragmentory to be relied upon. Mr. Hahn referred to the responses to individual questions in the national survey. "It is encouraging to see 24 per cent of the Negroes polled express positive attitudes against the seven per cent who answered negatively, however, 09 per cent of the attitudes are still unknown at this point, and I think it is dangerous to make any judgements, one way or another, until the study is completed." Asked about Negro-Jewish relationships in Omaha, Mr. Halin expressed some concern. "The unrest and frustrations of the Omaha Negro community mir-
ror the problems experienced in other communities throughout the country," he said. "I feel very strongly that the Jewish community has a very.special role to play in the social revolution we are experiencing. Mr. Hahn cited the history of the Jews throughout the ages, "Whenever a social crisis hit, the Jew always suffered the brunt of it," he said. "If for no other reason than a selfish one, Jews must be active participants in the fight for Negro rights, because history has shown, time and again, that the Jew is threatened whenever, rights and freedom are denied to any group." "Jews in the United States have achieved a new position of acceptance, and have overcome most social, economic and educational barriers," Mr. Hahn continued. "Irrational as it may be. the frustrated Negro is resentful of these recent accomplishments of the Jew and as a result, expects more from the Jew than he does from the rest of the white community." Participation Mr. Hahn recognized the procivil rights positions taken by many Jewish organizations but pointed ou that Jewish concern must be Individual, as well as (Continued on Page 10

"With these two experienced leaders of tho community directing the activities of the Women's Division, we have the double assurance of a successful anniversary year," she said. Mrs. Levenson and Mrs. Katzman were enthusiastic about their opportunities to serve Israel through sales of Israel Bends.

Columbus. O. <JTA) — Most Jewish students on the college level here do not accept the fundamentalist religious beliefs of their parents, although students who belong to HiUel groups tend to accept "fundam e n t a i i s t i c interpretations" more often than those who be|nnj| to Greek letter fraternities or sororities, according to a survey by Rabbi David Stavsky, of Beth Jacob Congregation. Rabbi Stavsky made his survey, based on 100 questions, among 120 male and female students belonging either to Hillel or to the Greek letter societies. He reported that he found "significant differences", in the two groups regarding synagogue attendance, p r a y e r, kashruth observance and .Jewish ceremonial observance. On the other hand, he said, the two groups agreed in their attitude about the significance of the home as a source of religious influence. Backgrounds

MRS. ROBERT GERELICK, Editor
By Arthur Teirelbaum Regional ADL Director I have traveled nearly two thousand miles-recently visiting medium and smaller sized communities in the Midwest. In each of these cities I had long conversations with the local Jewish leadership—and in almost every case I came away with a feeling of encouragement. Concern Of course, it is true that I was not encouraged by the dwindling number of .lews, especially in the "out state" towns. But I was immensely pleased to find so many individuals •who expressed a vital concern for their communities and for their own security. Yes, I am noting specifically they are demonstrating a concern for their own security. What do I mean by this? Who wouldn't be concerned with their own well-being? Let me give you a few examples. Iowa Bookstore In a central Iowa community there is a bookstore on one of the main streets of the shopping district which openly sells "hard core" anti-Semitic books. This fact was. brought to the attention of the Jewish "leadership" of that community and it was suggested they take a public stand condemning the activities of the owners of the store. They refused—politely. Later, a young Jewish man ventured into the store and purchased a blatantly anti-Semitic book which equates Judaism with communism; the proprietor recommended t h e book as " . . . a good primer for someone who is just beginning his anti-communist library." The Jewish "leadership" was appraised of the incident. Again they were asked to react. They hesitated. Then they contacted my office and asked me to check if the bookstore was selling hate literature directed against any Christian denominations; if so, Christian leadership would be notified and some joint public response would be worked out. The bookstore was checked. No anti-Christian material was found. The Jewish leadership was told. As Jews alone they would net. react— and thev have not reacted to this day!

Jewish community in the future. This positive reaction by a small group of Jews leads me to return to my original point. Democracy I believe that this group of Jews, in that isolated Iowa community, at the moment when they decided to express themselves on a matter which effected them as Jews, demonstrated the reality of their concern both for their community and for their own security. I say this in the belief that both our communities 'as we know and enjoy them) and ourselves as American Jews will prosper only so long as our democracy survives. These men, whether they were consciously aware of it or not, recognized that our democratic way of life is not self-perpetuating. They sensed that the democratic process must be exercised, or, like an unused muscle, it will wither and atrophy. They sensed that expressing themselves as American Jews now, will help them to secure their right to so express themselves in the future. As I said earlier, I've been encouraged by my recent travels. For I see an ever increasing number of my co-religionists who realize that if we bury our heads in sand lonj enough, sooner or later someone is going to come along and try to bury the rest of us!
By S. J. Goldsmith The failure of Pope Pius XII to intervene when the Germans annihilated six million Jews and countless others hangs like a cloud over the V a t i c a n and causes sleepless night for Roman C a t h o l i c s all over the world. Of course, the late Pope has his apologists, Jews among them, and the case against him leaves some slight doubts, but it is powerful enough for a jury in Heaven. The argument started with the Hochhuth play, of course. It died down for a lime but is raging once more in the wake of Saul Friedlaender's book "Pius XII and the Third Reich," which has just now been published in an English version. Friedlaender wrote his book in French. He is a professor at Geneva but keeps a home in Jerusalem and remains an Israeli citizen. For a time, he was an attache at the Israeli embassy in Paris. But he is essentially a research scholar, happier in a library than at an embassy desk. Documents Friedlaender's book is a collection of documents. Mostly they are reports sent back to Berlin by German diplomats at the Vatican. Bonn gave him access to the documents; the Vatican refused to let him see the relevant papers in its possession. The author recognizes the handicap. To be fair—and Friedlaender is a very fair historian, sometimes fairer than c o u l d have been expected in the circumstances—it is necessary to remember that the German diplomats might have written to Hitler what he wanted to read. At any rate, the evidence is uncorroborated. Tile Accusation All right, so Pius XII did not say to Weizsaecker that he had a personal regard for Hitler. Perhaps the documents in the Vatican would prove that he did not consider Hitler a savior. And if so, it serves the Vatican right for not showing the documents to historians. Friedlaender is not the only one to ask for

The way to multiply happiness is by dividing it
them. But the fact remains that Pius XII kept his peace while millions of people, Jews and non-Jews, (lied a thousand horrible deaths before his very eyes. One million Jewish children died at the hands of the Nazis—children!—and the Vicar of Christ remained silent. This is the accusation. Friedlaender has written his book as a Jew. The present writer reviews it as a Jew, But here is what a prominent English Roman Catholic, the Writer and cfitic Christopher Hollis, says on this point: . . • Calholic Critic "Prudence is a great virtue up to a point. It is no part of the business of a Pope to be continually r e bu ki ng like a schoolmaster every particular crime of every particular statesman. But there comes a point when every man — and more than any other the Vicar of Christ—ought to f o r g e t pru. donee, denounce appalling wickedness and throw bade on Heaven (he responsibility for wreaking vengeance.' ' Even allowing that further documents might bring about a further revision of the case, it is already weighty enough on
the score of silence to condemn Pius XII. Sill of-Silence. Friedlaender does not seem to share Hochhuth's conviction that Pius XII could have saved Jewish lives, and the lives of others, if he had spoken out at the time. There are people who .say that Hitler was already insane and q u i t e incapable of listening to any voice of reason from whatever quarter. But this does not invalidate the condemnnation of Pius XII for his ..silence'..'Nor does'the fact that Kntrjp 7fl,()0fl J*?ws h?.d Ijesii,rescued by the Church of Rome during the pontificate of Pius XII excuse his silence as the blood was flowing round him, as it were, and human beings were crying out in anguish aa they were p u s h e d into gas chambers. Silence was the guilt of PiU3 XII, as it was of many others. But he was Pope at the time, and proved inadequate. "Pius XII And The Third Kelch" by Saul Friedlaender is available in the Jewish Federation Library at the Jewish Community Center.

By Mickey Gerelick ,j Today marks two weeks since the first discovery of a Star of David painted on campaign billboards of Dick Fellir.an. I find the implications of anti-semitism in the sign defacings frightening. But even more cause for concern-I think is whnt hn$ happened (or not happened) since. To-date nine billboards have been defaced; mustard thrown at the campaign headquarters of the candidate; and numerous threatening phone calls have been received both by the candidate and his campaign workers. The Police and FBI have been alerted and presumably are at work. These are the facts. What cannot be reported as easily are the reactions of the community to these events. Reaction The Omaha World-He r a i d openly condemned these events in an editorial on September 28. Calling attention to the fine record of Omaha Jews in public offices, the newspaper termed the defacings as "deplorable — a cause for civic shame." I commend the World-Herald for their stand which was the only public statement of protest made. Why has the community remained silent? Silence In private conversations with many people I consider to be responsible citizens, a variety of reasons were revealed for the mass silence. Primarily there was apathy; then there were excuses. I was1 accused by some of "over-reacting" to a meaningless prank. Others could not see any value in "making a big deal of it by public protest." Some chose not "to get involved" because of political feelings. All of these same "reasons for silence" can be found in the history books dealing with the early days of Nazi Germany. I do not believe anti-semitism In Omaha is in any way comparable to that era. I am not suggesting mass hysteria in our community where Jews have enjoyed the trust, respect and friendship of the majority of non-Jews. However, whether the work of pranksters or an isolated manifestation of a " sick mind, these acts are still to be deplored. Why (hen (lie silence? Human Relations Board I listened today to a tape recording ol last week's meeting of the Omaha Human Relations Board. I heard Norman Hahn, chairman of the board, propose
that the members present issue a statement deploring these acts. I heard the discussion which followed and I was sick. This board—charged by tho city with the responsibility for promoting better race and human relations chosa to shirk their responsibility. In addition to Mr. Hahn, Dave Weinberg favored a public statement. Tho other two members of the board who were present ducked tho issue because "it had political implications." The issue was raised again at this week's meeting of the Human Relations Board. With 7 members attending, and following, much discussion, a resolution was passed "condemning and deploring these acts of antisemitism." The vote was not unanimous. The same two members voted against the resolution because of the "political implications." It seems to me that while a political candidate is not entitled to more consideration than ether members of tho community, certainly he has a right to expect that he will not get less. Furthermore, I had hoped that members of the HRB could rise above party politics and reilize that an anti-semitic attack against any Jew was in fact, an attack against all Jews. Although it was late in coming, it is well, however, that tho Board has taken a stand. Wore Silence Silence is still the response from othera who might have been expected to speak out against these signs of bigotry and hatred. From the Mayor's office on down, there has been no official statement. Even more frightening has been the silence of the Jewish community, who should have learned from their long history of persecution, the dangers of silence. To the best of my knowledge, there have been no protests offered from the pulpits of our synagogues, or from Jewish leaders, or from the organizations they represent. A candidate is not at issue here—it is a principle—and I am shocked at the reactions of our community. I recall the Talmudic leaching: "Who can protest and does not, is an accomplice In (ho act" To many of us havo placed ourselves In this position by our silence. When will wo ever learn?

Sde Boker (JTA) — Eleven thousand admirers gathered at former Premier David BenGui'ion's Nogev retreat here to honor Israel's former Premier on his BOth birthday. It was an iinpmpriate setting for the Israeli leader who has preached throughout his career on the need to make the still barren Negev the heart of Israel's life. The old warrior responded with another appeal keyed to the theme that "Israel's independence and security depend on settlement of the Negev," A full yellow moon shone on the scene. Eighty schoolchildren with blazing torches formed a guard of honor. A forest of blue nnd white flags fluttered in the wind as gusts of desert sand fell on the participants, who included many diplomats, Israel army leaders, trade union leaders and members of Israel's Government. The former Premier and his wife were protected by .a wooden shield against the desert wind and sands. „ Suddenly spotlights went on and the 11,000 well-wishers joined with the choirs and band In singing "Hnyom Yom Holedet Lc-Ben-Gurion" to the tune of "Happy Birthday." Speaker aficr speaker brought messages end greetings one said "stay with us aiid show us the way." That plea was voiced b.v Yehutilt Simhoni, a Mapai member of Parliament, who spoke not as a politician but as a bereaved mother. Her son was General Assaf Simhoni, who was killed in the 1950 Sinai campaign. The highlight of the celebration here was a 90-minutc pageant, featuring slides on scenes of Mr. Ben-Gurion's career, which were projected on a ecreen on the campus of the Sde Boker College, which the former Premier has worked intensively to build. Israeli actors rend letters Mr. Ben-Gurion had written to his father and to his wife which made up a commentary on his life and work. Bcn-Gurlon Speaks His white hair flowing in the wind, the casually dressed, elder statesman mounted the platform and began to speak in the same high-pitched voice nnd the same staccato delivery with which ho lind spurred Israelis to build the new state and with which ho had denounced his enemies.
"Here in the Negev," he declared, "we must plant our heavy industry and turn the Negev into a new Suez Canal to export our goods to Africa and Asia. Here we must build tho country's university and research center. This must become Israel's most densely populated area." Messages of greetings from all parts of the w. rid were received. One from British Premier H a r o l d Wilson read: "'liiere are few people who can look back on a life so wholly and successfully dedicated to your nation's service. You took part in the foundation of a nation devoted to the principles of democratic socialism. Please accept warmest greetings." During the coming week, there will be similar celebrations in other parts of Israel. Most of Israel's Cabinet Ministers and politicians are quietly abstaining from celebration of the occasion because of Mr. Ben-Gurion's record of unyielding hostility to those who clashed with him in domestic politics. But the nation as a xvhole seemed to have returned for a brief period to the BenGurion era, which has included leadership of Israel as Prime Minister for 15 of the state's 13 wars.

Haifa—When David Ben-Gurion marked his 75th birthday he "denied" his age nnd said he was then only fiO, since he felt he had really been born only when he immigrated to Israel. He considered himself a nativeborn sabra. Now, at the age of 80—or 05 as B. G. would have it—the entire nation joins in honoring the grand old man. The nation,,! commillce to foster celebration1; comprises several hundred of Israel's leading personalities, cutting across all party lines. Always Right It is not easy to write about Ben-Gurion, especially in a short a r t i c l e . Several biographies have been published, but none of them do him full justice, lie has been labeled extremist, fanatic, intransigent, impulsive and undiplomatic, a Utopian visionary. He has been all of these —and against powerful opposition he has almost always been proven right. Politics In the hectic days of Zionist politics in 1934 it was Ben-Gurion who brought about an agreement for harmonious relations within the World Zionist Organization between Vladimir Jabotinsky and the labor group. This agreement was repudiated by the leadership of the time, resulting in a major ideological and organizational split from which the movement has suffered down to the present day. B. G. lost that fight, and he vowed never to lose another. In 1948, when others coun-. seled cautions reserve and a policy of waiting, he insisted that the time had come for proclamation of Israel's independent existence as a state. His impetuosity carried the others along with him. Shortly thereafter he overcame objections from his colleagues and moved the seat of Government to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. Constantly he has struggled to establish the supremacy of Israel's national welfare over partisanship and petty politics. Unpopular Decisions He courted widespread unpopularity, soon after tne end of the War of Liberation, when he de-' clared that in a sovereign stato there could bo only one army, responsible to central authority and he insisted on the dissolution of both the politically controlled left-vying Palmach units, and the private forces of the right-wing Irgun, followed by the incorporation of both into Israel's national Defense Army. He went counter to the wishes of his own party when he pushed through the Kncsscth legislation .establishing a national school system, instead of the competitive, politically controlled schools which were in existence at the time. He created a Government crisis in 1953 when he opposed the flying of the red flag and the singing of the "International" in public schools. His own party voted against him—but he carried the day nevertheless. He took the existing labor exchanges out of the hands of the Histadruth and made them an arm of tho Government, on the grounds that every citizen had the right to work, not only those who could show the right party card. Electoral Reform He has consistently opposed Israel's clumsey, archaic electoral system, carried over from European 19th century politics and responsible for multiplication of parties. He saw promise of change when his own party, Mapai, made electoral reform a major plank in its platform. When Mapai abandoned this principle, Ben-Gurion found it
necessary to continue the fight outside the party. In the little more than a year that has followed the creation of the Iiafi group, Ben-Gurion has become the rallying point for liberals, intellectuals, young people, who see in him a modern prophet. Many of those who a year ago were quick to cast aspersions
and to accuse him of "senility," have also come to have second thoughts. On his flOth birthday B.G. has for many people come to be a symbol of integrity and liberal progress. As for "senility," this vigorous, vital, energetic man is really not eighty years old— he is truly two forties! \

ie\ Let's start a rumor you and I. There will be a point to it. Charles Whitman, the psychotic sniper, sat the night before he wrought his carnage writing a letter. He told his friend Larry Fuess he was w r i t i n g to a f r i e n d of his in Washington whom he hadn't seen in five years. This was one of the letters the grand jury in Austin suppressed. The grand jury suppressed Whitman's last thoughts because, it argued, his letters libeled innocent people. But let's say they didn't libel innocent people; let's say they were inflammatory, let's say they contained terrible charges. Who would he charge? Well, we don't know. We can only make rumors. But we can guess that C h a r l e s Whitman served in the Marines about the same time another famous sniper named Lee Harvey Oswald served. Perhaps they knew each other. Why not? And if they knew each other, is there any reason why Charles W h i t m a n couldn't have been the second assassin? Tho assassin who some believe helped Oswald murder President John F. Kennedy? Maybe that suppressed letter is a confession. Maybe Whitman went atop the tower to prove what a crack shot he was after he had signed his confession. Absurd? Of c o u r s e this is absurd. Whitman was psychotic. Even I who have little truck with the theories of Sigmund Freud will testify that Whitman was acting out of a classical Oedipus complex: he killed the mother whom he loved instead of the father whom he hated; he mounted a tall tower and asserted his omnipotence by killing people below. Critics But by rumor, hereby rescinded, is no more implausible than the spate of books which now
The Way ofa Will Montreal (JTA)—A clause of a will disinheriting a daughter for marrying outside the Jewish faith was, ruled invalid here because it was considered to be contrary to Quebec's freedom of religion act. The ruling was handed down by Associate Chief, Justice George S. Challies who found the provision in the wills of Leon Klein, who died in 1958, and his wife, who died 15 months earlier, contrary to Quebec law. The daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Klein Dorais, who was deprived of benefit by the will's restriction, appealed to the court, asking that tho clause bo declnred void. She hnd been married to a Roman Catholic in a synagogue in the United States, but converted to Catholicism two years after the death of her father.
question the findings of the Warren Commission. I can think of four off-hand: Mark L a n e ' s "Rush to Judgment" (Holt, Rinehart & Winston; $5.95)," Harold Weisberg's "Whitewash" (Harold Wcisberg; $'1.95), Edward Jay Epstein's "Inquest" (Viking; $5) and Jean Stafford's "A Mother in History" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux; $3.95). Many critics insist there must have been two assassins. The basis for this insistence is that •r Oswald succeeded he needed a fantastic a m o u n t of luck. Which I believe is precisely why Oswald did suceed. He had a maniacal courage and there is something about maniacal cournge which commands luck. The main criticism leveled at the Warren Commission is that it proceeded on the assumption of Lee Harvey Oswald's guilt. I see no reason why men cannot make presumptions about facts. The Mark Lane book makes much of the nonsense that Jack Ruby was in on it because he had such easy access to police headquarters. But what Mark Lane doesn't know is that every town in America has at least one Jack Ruby; the fellow whose pockets are filled with police and sheriffs' "courtesy" cards, and who is always butting in. Not only do you see him at police headquarters when they are bringing in someone, but you'll also see him at big fires, wearing a fireman's hat. And any semi-intelligent conspirator would have had to he insane to take a Jack Ruby into his confidence. But to say that, the Warren Report withheld vital evidence, as two of these books charge, is to say also that the Chief Justice and his colleagues, who included at l e a s t three very "tough" men, Dulles, Rankin, and Gerald Ford, were in on a conspiracy to protect Jack Ruby. Logic Why? But there's no need to ask why. You are involved here with the renunciation of logic against which no logic can prevail. All of this is to say nothing of the brother of the murdered P r e s i d e n t , who, next to the widow, was the most devastated human being in America; another "tough" man, who happened also to be the Attorney General of the entire United States. Two months after the tradedy, Robert Kennedy told me, " . . . the family is satisfied it was this one fellow." But 30 years after the assassination of President Lincoln, a side-show p r o m o t e r was charging 10 cents admission to "see tho mumified body of John Wilkes Booth." And so tho Oswald books will go on and on; tho "non-books" which seem to satisfy the hunger and longing of those who like to be "in. the know," the poor fools.

By RAI5RI SAMUEL J. I'OX QUESTION: Why is it that Iliose wlio arc called up Jo the last reading of the Torah and the first reading of the Torah on Simcliat Torah are called "bridegrooms'".' ANSWER: Various; reasons are advanced for this practice. One of the Kabbalists of the sixteenth century explains that both tin* one for whom,the last portion is read and the one for whom the first portion is read theoretically adorn Uie Torah like a bride is adorned. Thus they are called bridegrooms. One of the Sephardic writers claim that on Simchat Torah the Jewish people are as happy with the Torah as a bridegroom is with his bride. The happiness, of course, is due to the fact that we finish reading and also begin the reading anew1 of the Torah. Therefore those who ara called up to the Torah for these significant moments are called bridegrooms. .

QUESTION: How did the last day of the Succot festival rome to be called "Simcliat Torah"? ANSWER: This name was apparently not known until tho twelfth century. It is said to have originated in Spain. Its origin is not quite clear. Some claim that the name was applied becauso on that day the people of Israel win a victory over Satan who tried to criticize them in front of the Almighty saying (hot while they read or study the Torah they will never conclude it and if they do they will never begin to stutly again. On the day of Simchat Torah we show both that we conclude the yearly reading cycle and immediately begin a new reading cycle. Thus, we have shown the Almighty that Satan is wrong and we rejoice over having won tho bout with the power of evil.
