University or Yeshiva?

Western society seems convinced ofthe value ofa secular degree from a secular university, and yeshiva is seen by many Jews as perhaps an al ternative to post-graduate studies, or merely a way of filling a long sum mer vacation—an alternative to being a playboy on the Riviera for three months. Yet yeshiva should be seen not merelyas an alternative, but actually as preferable to a course at a secular university.

With the exception of those en gaged on vocational degrees, the majority of people who go to univer sity today do so with no real desire to study. It is merely the next inevitable step on the conveyor belt of social conformity. The universitysystem in England was recently described as, “a vast system of light relief for the children of the bourgeoisie.” From what I hear, the system in America is the same, only more so; except that for “children of the bourgeoisie” read “children of the republic”. The sub ject of study is often chosen at ran dom and in ignorance, or altered ac cording to the courses offered by whichever university is prepared to admit the applicant. In America the major is often not even chosen for the first two or three years of study.

The courses actuallyoffered at uni versity would in themselves ensure a student’s loss of interest and lack of dedication. Majors such as Horror Films or Basketweaving (both pre sently available in the U.S.A.) are hardly likely to inspire a zest for knowledge or an insight into the hid den truth of the universe over a period ofthree or four years. But uni versities no longer seem to see a stu dent’s major as his principle reason for being there. What is important is that the student should “broaden his experience”. This expression seems to be a euphemism for frittering away many hours in extra-curricular

activities: running sports clubs, at tending obscure political meetings and indulging in orgies of eating, drinking and partying, all in the in terest ofcreating a common bond be tween fellow human beings, of course. The results are predictable. When Bertrand Russell was caught in the act of adultery by his students of Ethics, he advised that they should “do as I say, not as I do.” But this is not easy advice to follow. Uni versity courses, even during the seven months of the year when in progress, are not very demanding of the student’s time. With a timetable sufficiently empty to permit bore dom, with few financial worries or commitments, and surrounded by other undedicated students, un stimulated byeither their teachers or their subject, it is not surprising that many students are emerging from university knowing less and less about more and more; with an excess of so-called experience, but little wis dom. With such a foundation for so ciety we can hardly look forward with confidence to the “final withering away” of the psychoanalyst’s couch.

By contrast, the yeshiva holds out all the elements needed for the ideal learning environment. What is fun damental is that the students have a desire to learn. This alone creates an atmosphere conducive to study, where any student tempted to relax his efforts will be encouraged to renew them both by his fellow pupils, as well as by his teachers. Besides, there are few alternatives to work at yeshiva. There is no television, few riotous parties and little inclination to start political clubs, drama groups, sports teams or any of the other traditional diversions from study. The separation of men and women removes another distraction, for which the yeshiva student should be duly grateful. Consequently it is

not uncommon for students regu larly to put in more than ten hours study per day. With little opportunity to enjoy the more passive and easily accessible physical pleasures offered by Western materialism, the yeshiva student is driven back to working for the subtler but more lasting intellec tual not to say spiritual—pleasures of the mind.

It is worth considering here the value Western society places on a de gree. The job-seeking graduate will hear time and time again from pro spective employers that the subject he studied is irrelevant (here again I exclude vocational degrees) but what is important is that the university has taught him to think logically and to express himself. By this criterion alone Torah study, particularly with the mental gyinnastics required of the Gemorrah student, more than meets the requirements of an educa tion as set by today’s employers. But Torah study has far more to offer than this.

A great advantage is the lack of choice in subject matter. There is es sentially only one curriculum avail able and it is a fairly well tested one. This does not mean to say that the curriculum is narrow; it covers every sphere of human life, and each stu dent has ample choice within this to discover areas of study which most stimulate him. Nevertheless, all is to be found within a basic framework which forms a united whole. Thus the more diverse the areas ones studies, the more one will detect their underlying unity. The intrinsic connection between Horror Films and basketweaving might be rather subtle for the average undergraduate to grasp; thus for him a study ofsuch diverse disciplines is likely to lead to a sense of dichotomy. One area of knowledge will not reconcile with

JACOB

However the Torah is interpreted, its literal meaning remains true. And the blessings of Isaac referred to the physical world and its benefits: “G-d give you ofthe dew ofheaven and the fatness of the earth.” Jacob and Re becca made great sacrifices and re sorted to deceit to acquire them. Jacob had to dress himself in the clothes of Nimrod, “whose kingdom turned the whole world to rebellion,” in order to take and transform the elements ofthe physical world to hol iness (to release their ‘buried sparks of holiness’).

from Talks by the

Lubavitcher Rebbe Shlita

Concerning the verse, “And your name shall no longer be Jacob: in stead Israel shall be your name,” the Gemarra poses the following prob lem: Anyone who calls Abraham Abram transgresses the command, “And your name shall no longer be called Abram.” If so, surely the same applies to one who uses the name Jacob to refer to Israel, for it is writ ten, “And your name shall no longer be Jacob”? The Gemarra concludes that the name Jacob is different from the name Abraham in this respect, that after G-d gave Abraham his new name, the Torah never thereafter re fers to him by any name other than Abraham. Whereas Jacob is so-called in the Torah even after he has been given the name of Israel.

Why does the name Jacob remain?

There is a Chassidic explanation that the names Jacob and Israel de note two stages in the service of G-d,

both necessary at different times in the religious life of every Jew. ‘Israel’ denotes a higher achievement, but it does not supplant or remove the necessity for the service signified by ‘Jacob.’

2. THE INNER MEANING OF ‘JACOB’ AND ‘ISRAEL’

The difference between them is this. The name Jacob implies that he acquired the blessings of Isaac “by supplanting and subtlety” (the name in Hebrew, Ya-akov, means ‘he supplanted’). He used cunning to take blessings which had been in tended for Esau. ‘Israel,’ on the other hand, denotes the receiving of bles sings through “noble conduct (Serarah, which is linguistically re lated to Yisroel, the Hebrew form of Israel), and in an open manner.”

The deeds of the fathers are a sign to their children. And the implica tion for us of Jacob’s act is that we have to use cunning in our approach to the acts of our physical nature. The cunning man does not reveal his intentions. He seems to be following the path of his opponent. But at the crucial point he does what he had all along intended. The Jew in his in volvement with the material world appears to be preoccupied with it. He eats, drinks, transacts business. But he does so for the sake ofHeaven. His objectives are not material ones. He wear the ‘clothes of Esau,’ but his implicit purpose is to uncover and elevate the ‘holy sparks.’

But the way of ~Israel’ is to attain the blessings of the “dew of the heaven and the fatness of the earth” by “noble and open conduct.” In worldly conduct he has no need to conceal his intentions ofserving G-d. He experienced no tensions. The world has no hold on him. It does not hide from him its intrinsic G-dli ness.

This distinction can be seen in the difference between a Shabbat and a weekday meal. Eating a weekday meal embodies the tension between a physical act and its spiritual motiva tion for the sake of heaven. This dis crepancy between outward appear ance and inner intention is a form of cunning. But eating a Shabbat meal in itselffulfills a commandment. The holiness of the physical is manifest.

In the light of this we can under stand the meaning of the verse, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob but Israel, for you have contended with G-d (Elokim) and with men and you have prevailed.” ‘Elokim’ in this

THE JEWISH HOMEMAKER

context means ‘angels,’ and generally connotes the ‘seventy heavenly pr inces’ through whom flow the Divine emanations which sustain physical existence, and who thereby act to conceal G-dliness. ‘Men signifies a still greater concealment, for men are capable of denigrating the Jew for performing G-d’s will, and this is a harder concealment to bear. For this reason, the first paragraph ofthe en tire ShulchanAruch warns us “not to be ashamed of men who ridicule.” And this is the basis of the whole ofa Jew’s service—to break down the concealment of G-d.

This was the virtue of Israel, to have “contended with Elokim and with men” and to have prevailed over their respective concealments ofG-d. They are no longer barriers to him; indeed they assent to his blessings. He not onlywon his struggle with the angel (the guardian angel of Esau) but the angel himself blessed him. This is the achievement ofwhich the Proverbs speak: “he makes even his enemies be at peace with him.”

3. THE STRUGGLE

This distinction accords with the explanation given in Likkutei Torah of the verse, “He has not seen sin in Jacob nor toil in Israel.” At the level of ‘Jacob’ the Jew has no sin, but he still experiences ‘toil’—his freedom from sin is achieved only by tension and struggle forhe has concealments to overcome. This is why he is called “Jacob, My servant” ‘service’ (in Heb rew, Avodah) has the implication of strenuous efforts to refine his phys ical nature (his ‘animal soul’). He does not sin but he still experiences the inclination to sin, which he must overcome. But ‘Israel’ encounters no ‘toil’ for in his struggle “with Elokim and with men” he broke down the factors which conceal G-dliness and silenced his dissenting inclinations. Israel no longer needs to contend with those forces which oppose the perception ofG-dliness. His progress lies entirely within the domain of the body.

4. PARTIAL AND COMPLETE VIC TORY

There is a story told by the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe about the

Tzemach Tzedek (the third Rebbe of Lubavitch): Once in the middle of a Chassidic gathering hejumped onto a table in great excitement and said: “What is the difference between something which is killed completely and something which is only par tially killed? (This referred to a state ment in the Gemarra that to have ‘partially’ killed something is to have killed it. The Tzemach Tzedek giving the halachic point a Chassidic mean ing, applies it to the ‘killing’ ofthe in clination to sin. Even a ‘partial’ kil ling is a killing, but at the very least we must partially kill it.” After some time had passed in speaking and dancing, he continued: At the moment that one has reached the point of ‘killing’ (the moment of which the Psalms speak in the words, ‘My heart is void within me’) one’s life has taken on a new charac ter.

These two statements of the Tzemach Tzedek refer to the two levels of ‘Jacob’ and ‘Israel’. At the level of‘Jacob’ there is still a struggle against one’s inclinations, a life of tension—a ‘partial killing.’ But at the level of ‘Israel’ when the killing is ‘complete,’ life is transformed into a new serenity and spiritual pleasure.

5. LEVELS IN THE LIFE OF THE TZADIK AND THE BENONI

These two stages ofservice pertain to two levels within the ‘G-dly soul.’ ‘Jacob’ can be analyzed into the letter Yud and the world Ekev (the heel). Here the perception of G-d (sym bolized by the letter ‘Yud’) has reached only the lowest levels of the soul, leaving the possibility of a con cealment which has to be broken down. On the other hand ‘Israel’ con tains the same letters as ‘Li Rosh’ (‘The head is mine’). The whole soul, to its highest capacities, has been permeated by the awareness of G-d, and no concealment is possible, no struggle necessary.

In general terms, ‘Israel’ denotes the Tzadik (the stage of complete righteousness) and ‘Jacob’ the Be noni (the intermediate level, attaina ble by every man). And in particular,

within this intermediate level, that ‘Jacob’ represents the weekday ser vice, and ‘Israel’ the service of Shah bat. Even within the stage of com plete righteousness, there are still analogues ofboth ‘Jacob’ and ‘Israel.’ This is clear from the fact that Israel himself was still occasionally called Jacob after his change of name. Within him, and indeed in everyJew, ‘Jacob’ remains as a necessary ele ment in the service of G-d.

6. THE CONTEMPORARY MEANING OF ‘JACOB’

From the fact that, as we men tioned before, the level of Jacob is without sin, and yet involves con tinual effort, it follows that the Jew— though his struggle with contend ing desires is difficult and fraught with risk has the power to achieve victory and remain free from sin. For he is “a branch of My planting, the work ofMy hands,” and “a part ofG-d above.” As nothing can prevail over G-d, so can nothing prevail over the Jew against his will. And he has been promised victory, for we are told, “His banished will not be rejected by Him” and “All Israel has a share in the world to come.”

This promise (like all the words of Torah) is relevant to our present spiritual concerns. The assurance of ultimate victory should strengthen ourjoy in the act of service, and this joy will itselfcontribute to the victory over our physical natures, and shor ten the battle. The previous Rebbe said, though a soldier confronts danger, he goes with a song of joy, and thejoy brings him victory.

This is why we say, after the end of Shabbat, “Do not fear, My servant Jacob.” For, as we explained above, during Shabbat the Jew stands at the level of Israel, beyond the ‘toil’ of transforming the material world. But at the end of Shabbat, when we return to the level of “Jacob, My ser vant,” and to the toil of the weekday service, we are told, “Do not fear.” This is not merely a command but also a source of strength and of joy that will shorten the work and has ten its reward—to the pointwhere we are worthy ofthe time which is ‘an et ernal life of Shabbat and rest.’

One 0 All ndr. y0.r oh

by Hedy Solomon and Els Bendheim

Though the religious Old Yishuv in Eretz Yisrael played an important part in the history of the develop ment of the modern State of Israel, its role has gone almost unrecog nized by the general public (and has often even been slighted by histo rians). When the ohm of the Hibat Zion movement arrived in Palestine in 1881, they found a settlement of Jews which numbered in the tens of thousands. While some were descen dants of long-time residents of Eretz Israel, the majority had arrived only in the early part of the nineteenth century, when a greater number of Jews than ever before immigrated to Israel. The number of Jews in Israel increased tenfold from the beginning of the century to its end. Thus, the founders of the Old Yishuv can claim credit for laying the foundation ofre newed settlement in the land ofIsrael from which the state sprouted and, ultimately, grew.

Conditions in the Ottoman Em pire well into the nineteenth century resembled those in Europe in the Middle Ages. Small provinces were jealously guarded by overseers who owed allegiance to a distant overlord. Fighting between governors of vari ous provinces was common. Under Turkish rule, these governors were responsible for maintaining rudimentary order in their pro vinces, but their main function was to furnish the sultan in Constan tinople with a specified amount of tax revenue. As a result of the lack o. order which inevitably followed such

lax government, travel was danger ous, since wayfarers were not pro tected. Even travel for short dis tances was undertaken only by con voy and during the day; city gates were always closed at night. And since there was no fixed system ofta xation, local governors often extorted enormous sums from the populace, keeping for themselves all that was not due to the Sultan.

The Jews of Eretz Israel lived under these conditions under Otto man rule from 1517 to the first World War, and their fortunes rose and fell according to the caprices of their Turkish rulers. Immigration to Israel continued in this period; immigra tion had not stopped since the time of the destruction of the temple. But with veryfew exceptions, this immig ration was a matter for individuals, many of whom settled in the Holy Land in fulfillment of a vow or to satisfy a personal longing to live in their ancestral homeland. In the mid-eighteenth century, however, a new wave of immigration began, il lustrating a new trend—ahiyah to Is rael as part of a movement, aliyah with a group of like-minded indi viduals who hoped to fulfill a collec tive purpose by settling the Holy Land. This kind of aliyah was to be come more and more frequent dur ing the next 200 years.

In 1746, Rabbi Abraham Gershon of Kutow, brother-in-law of the Baal Shem Toy, settled in Israel together with a group of chassidim from Galicia and Volhynia. The stature of

this first Chassidic settler attests to the commitment of the Chassidim to settlement in Eretz Yisrael. From the time of Rabbi Abraham Gershon’s settlement up to 1764, an intermit tent but steady stream ofChassidim, including several other prominent rabbis, settled in Israel. But it was the mass ahiyah of 1777 which was to prove most significant of all these ahiyot. A convoy of over 300 Lithua nian Chassidim, led by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk and Rabbi Abraham of Kalisz reached Is rael after many hardships in that year. They settled first in Safed, but experiencing many difficulties there, moved to Tiberias. The Galilee, which had been almost depleted of Jewish settlements in the previous century was thus revived as a base for settlement. Indeed, it was the Galilee which was to serve as the first area of settlement for the most important group of ohm in the following cen tury, the Perushim, the disciples of the Gaon ofVilna, who were to domi nate the settlement for most of the century.

At the end of the eighteenth cen tury, a movement with the aim offos tering czliyah to Eretz Yisrael, came into being. It was called Hazort Zion (Vision of Zion) and was headed by the Gaon of Vilna. The activities of this movement centered around Lithuania and Byelorussia. It was an organized movement with a central council, local branches, a monetary

fund, a literature, and above all, an ideology. Also, settlement in Israel was not only important in order to keep those mitzvot that are tied to the land ofIsrael (such as tithing and the sabbatical year), but all the mitzvot take on an additional signifi cance if they are performed in Israel. The Napoleonic wars impeded the implementation of the goals of the Hazon Zion, but in 1808 Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Shklov led a group of Perushim to Israel and was followed two years later by Rabbi Is rael of Shklov who settled with his group in Safed. At the beginning of the century there were approxi mately 5,000 Jews in Eretz Yisrael; by the end of the century they num bered about 55,000, the majority of those arriving during this period al lying themselves with the perushic non-chassidic settlement.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, most Jewish settlers in Eretz Yisrael lived in the four “Holy Cities”: Jerusalem, Safed, Tiberia and Hebron. The largest Ashkenazi settlement was in Safed. The Jews of Safed faced incredible hardships from the very moment they arrived in Eretz Yisrael. First, their money ran out. Once the money question had been resolved somewhat, a series of natural and political catastrophes al most decimated the Jewish commu nity. A series of earthquakes nearly levelled all ofSafed. Such was the suf fering that followed the more severe of the quakes that the rabbis of the time compared it to the suffering at

the time of the Destruction of the Temple. And this earthquakewas fol lowed by a series ofepidemics, which killed more of the already weakened community. In 1834, between the two major earthquakes, thefellahin revolted against their rulers. The Jews suffered during the riots that accompanied the revolt as their homes were pillaged and destroyed and many Jews were killed. Many of the remaining Jews escaped into the hills, literally naked, their clothes torn from their very back, and went into hiding. Only four years later, after another earthquake, the Druzes rebelled and the Jews were once more subject to the effects of unrestrained rioting.

Rabbi Israel ofShklov, the leader of the Perushim, lost his wife, his par ents, and all but one child during these terrible years. He moved most ofhis followers to Jerusalem thereaf ter, and Jerusalem then became the major Jewish settlement in Israel. In a supreme testimony of faith on the importance of settling Eretz Yisrael, after all these catastrophes, Rabbi Is rael composed Peat Hashulchan, elucidating the mitzvot pertaining to living in Israel.

The Perushim and Chassidim who arrived early in the centurywere later joined by ohm from all corners of the Jewish world. In 1830 an aliyah from Germany augmented the number of settlers in Jerusalem. These German settlers merged with later arrivalsfrom Holland toform the Kohlel HOD (HollancliDeutsch

land). A stzable ahiyah from Hun gary, inspired by Rabbi Moses Sofer (Hatam Sofer) came later in the cen tury, and ohm continued to arrive from Poland and Russia and also from the Oriental countries.

The European Jews who came to settle in Israel in the nineteenth cen tury were considered foreign nation als by the ruling Ottomans and, as such, faced multiple restrictions. They were not allowed to purchase land, they were subjected to special taxes, and were not protected by the government either from financial ex tortion or from physical harm. In this climate, it was difficult, and often close to impossible, for the settlers to make ends meet. Most of the ohm who settled in Israel came with the intention of spending their time learning Torah, as representa tives of their brethren who them selves did not immigrate, and who agreed to support them. But the ships carrying funds from Jews out side Israel came only rarely and the settlers had to borrow money at exor bitant interest to tide them over until the funds arrived. Then the allow ance, sufficient only for bare subsis tence, was used to cover payment of the loan, and the cycle began once again. But even those who did not wish to be dependent on the haluka, or financial aid from outside Israel, found alternatives almost nonexis tent because of local conditions and because of the many restrictions placed on them. Sir Moses Mon tefiore visited Israel in 1838 in an at-

tempt to ameliorate the economic condition of the Yishuv by encourag ing agricultural settlement and light industry. His proposal was gratefully welcomed by the settlers. The head of the Chassidic community in Safed wrote to Montefiore that the mem bers of his community would be happy to engage in any kind of work whatsoever, to live by the labor of their hands, in order to alleviate their “terrible poverty and humilia tion.” For political reasons, however, Montefiore’s mission did not suc ceed, and other attempts to alleviate the poverty were also unsuccessful. (Even at the end ofthe century, when many of the restrictions the Jews had suffered at the time had been lifted, the Zionist settlers of the First Ahyah depended on subsidies from abroad without which they could not have maintained even a precarious existence.)

In spite of these hardships, how ever, the period ofthe OldYishuvwas one that boasted many accomplish ments. As the Jewish quarter of the Old City became too small to contain the growing population, several new settlements, among them Meah Shearim and Nachlath Shiva, were founded outside the walls. These were undertakings fraught with danger; it was a time when Jerusalem’s gates were closed at dusk for fear of intruders. Later the modern city of Jerusalem grew up to include these settlements. There were even attempts at agricultural

settlement. Petach Tikvah was founded in 1878 and the Jews of Jerusalem welcomed the settlersjoy fully the following year when they brought in the first harvest to carry out the Biblical precepts centered around the harvest. Although Petach Tikvah was abandoned as a result of an epidemic, it was later re-estab lished on the same site with the par ticipation of several of the original settlers. These projects were carried out by the second generation of Perushim together with newer arri vals who were also Torah-observing Jews. The growth of the Yishuv which resulted provided the later Zionist settlers with a foundation without which their task would have been even harder.

Many more attempts at purchas ing land for the purpose of settle ment were made, but these were frustrated by the restrictions of the Ottoman rulers. Although foreign Embassies, which somewhat pro tected the rights of many of the Jewish settlers and occasionally in terfered on their behalf, were estab lished in Jerusalem in the 1840’s, the intricate machinery required to close a deal successfully in order to purchase land or establish a social agency were not always successful. Even the founding of charitable in stitutions required Consular help, and it was with such help that the Perushim finally founded the Bikur Cholim hospital at the turn of the century, and the German Jews

started Shaarei Zedek Hospital in 1902.

Among the organizations for self help set up by the Old Yishuv was also an organization of self defense. Early in the century, the members of the Gadna presented aid to those stricken by plagues, guarded and re scued Jews during riots, and brought new immigrants off the boats and helped settle them—ac tivities which recall the goals of the Haganah years later. They also oc cupied themselves with repairing homes and planting trees. In addi tion, of course, they protected the Jewish settlers from bandits and sought in other ways to protect the integrity of the community.

At the time of the First World War (1914-1918), the majority of the Jews living in Israel were those ofthe Old Yishuv. Even after the First and Second Aliyot, the Jews of the Old Yishuv comprised the greater part of the Jewish population of Eretz Yis rael and by the time ofthe war, many of the immigrants of the First and Second Aliyah had left. And this com munity, the Old Yishuv, already pos sessed many of the characteristics of the communities established by the modern Aliyot: vision and redemp tion served by the building and culti vation of the land, and financing im migration and colonization. It is this community, then, that remained as a basis for the aliyot that were to fol low and ultimately served as a basis for the state of Israel.

Who Is Truly A Jew?

by Levi Horowitz

Part One: A question at theHeart ofJudaism

Until now there has been a work ing compromise regarding the defi nition ofwho is a Jew, a kind of tacit agreement to leave the definition vague. Now, rather suddenly, it has become a matter of high priority to the traditional community, which seeks a precise and rigorous defini tion. Why the change?

To us, the definition of who is Jewish goes to the heart of all that Judaism is. It provides us a basic un derstanding of how we guide ourse lves towards a non-Jew who enters the Jewish faith. The traditional community feel that when the law states that a person, for whatever purposes, has to be Jewish, then he has to be Jewish; there aren’t two definitions of what it means to be Jewish. We never expected that the definition would be compromised by any movement; how could they do it?

The question wasjust too serious.

But as time went on, things changed. When people started com ing to Israel from Vienna, from Rome, where blank checks were given to those who said they were Jews, without any type of investiga

tion, at times even the knowledge that the people were not, in fact, Jewish—but happened to be spouses of Jews, or children, or friends,—we became concerned. We couldn’t rely any longer on those who adminis tered the law to administer it prop erly.

It was then, and then only, that the traditional community realized that we couldn’t continue to assume that the definition that had applied for thousands of years was still ac cepted. The concept that we had lived with, that we had understood to be true, was fast disappearing because of the laxity of the people involved.

The issue then was not Reform or Conservative; the issue was Jew or non-Jew. As a progress—or regres sion—took place, and we tried to de fine who is truly a Jew, the other movements began to take our stand as a personal attack on their ap proach to Judaism. Mind you, neither the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (the Council of Torah Sages),or any frum (observant) Jew in Israel or in the Diaspora is out to stop the nonpracticing Jew from continuing in his way. There’s a Talmudic saying, for example, that a person who des ecrates the Shabbos is as if he had desecrated the entire Torah. This could be a very serious issue. But we see a distinction between Shabbos

and kashrus, on the one hand, and the “who is a Jew?” matter on the other. The fact that the Conservative movement has instituted things like riding to shul on Shabbos pains us very much, but we didn’t launch a campaign against it, because it’s a very personal issue. As much as a Jew is part of the whole House of Is rael, as much as we’re all connected, people have privacy, their own per sonal interaction with their religion, and we don’t Interfere. We plead, but we don’t interfere.

But the issue of who is a Jew is a different story. I face the problem at least weekly. When young people come to see regarding their identity as Jews, wanting to know more about Judaism, the greatest fear I have, the greatest problem I face, is being confronted with a young per son who suddenly, at age 24 or 26, discovers that he orshe is considered a mamzer—lllegitimate—according to Jewish law.

Mamzerus (illegitimacy) is not a term that applies to children born out of wedlock. The term applies where there hasn’t been a Jewish di vorce. A woman who hasn’t had a Jewish divorce and then remarries commits an adulterous act, and chil dren born as a result are mamzerim.

These youngsters don’t ask “How come the Jewish religion is taking it

out on us? They understand better. They understand that where there is a gene of insanity in a member of a family, that gene may be carried through to the next generation, and therefore people who have the gene should be careful. They ask the ques tion, “How could our parents not un derstand what they’re doing to the future generation, to us? How could they ignore the possibility that we might not be Reform Jews, Conser vative Jews, irreligious Jews, Jews for J.? They ignored our existence.”

When confronted with this prob lem, I’m petrified, because lives are literally at stake. Can theyor can they not marry a Jewess? What is that status? And the problem is due to the fact that these people who, 20, 30 years back, when theyhad the oppor tunity to tell the parents that the di vorce they were issuing or the mar riage they were performing might create problems for the children, that the children would suffer in case they wanted to become Orthodox didn’t tell.

It’s not only our problem. The Con servative movement requires a get (a bill of religious divorce); the Reform movement does not. When a Reform rabbi allows a couple to be separated without a Jewish divorce, that Re form rabbi ignores the future re lationship of the family with their Conservative brethren. Ignoring it causes disaster.

Marriage, divorce, and especially conversion, affect the future genera tions. We cannot take the liberty of saying, “I don’t care about the future generations, I don’t care about how others are going to view my Jewish ness.” You cannot insist that the Jewish community accept your own private definition about what it means to be a Jew. And this brings us to the crux of the issue.

What make a Jew a Jew? With re gard to conversion, the tradition is absolutely clear. There are three things: The most important is kobolas ol mitzvos (acceptance ofthe yoke of the commandments)—un derstanding mitzvos and acceptance ofthem. You cannot become a citizen of the United States unless you promise to abide by the Constitution of the United States. That’s the oath

you take when you become a citi zen. And you cannot have any mental reservations, you cannot say “I don’t agree to the 12th amendment.” Ifyou have any type of reservation, you will not be granted citizenship. Accep tance of the yoke of commandment means a true understanding and ac ceptance ofwhat Mitzovs are.

Then there has to be t’viloh (ritual immersion) for both male and female, and for the male there’s also circumcision, or, if he’s already cir cumcized, hatofas dom bris—the taking of a drop ofblood.

How shall the whole House of Is rael, k’lal Yisroel, guide itself in ac cepting a person who was not born Jewish? From our point of view, the issue is similar to aproblem that may be confronted by a Conservative or Reform rabbi. Take a family whose children become observant, and are getting married, and they want to have a kosher wedding. The parents come to their spiritual leader to com plain. They don’t want a kosher wed ding; they think their children have gone crazy. Obviously, any reasona ble Conservative or Reform rabbi would say to them, “A treifer yid (a Jew who does not observer kashrut) can eat kosher; a kosher yid cannot eat treif. Yourweddingshouldsatisfy all the participants.” Even though the people who are giving the advice may not care about kashrus, they would understand that when it af fects other people, you go along.

Now the question is: who is a Jew, what should be the criterion for being a Jew? Should we accept the halachic (traditional legal) point of view regarding who is a Jew, the traditional point ofview that we have lived with for 2000 years? It’s not an “Orthodox” point of view; it was the universal Jewish point of view, with no disagreement, for 2000 years. Or shall be accept the Conservative idea that Judaism can be done in a more relaxed way? I don’t know what that means. What does kabolas ol mitzvos mean then? What does it mean when a person is about to become Jewish and you know that the person is not going to do anything more Jewish the day after his conversion than he did the day before? What kind of ac ceptance of mitzvos is that?

UNiVERSITY OR YESHiVA

(Continuedfrom page 3)

another, and the resulting conflict will lead to inner discord. All the dif ferent aspects ofTorah however ema nate plainly from one source; their study therefore will lead more to a sense of harmony and peace, not of one of discord.

Perhaps most important of all, yeshiva does not encourage a conflict between knowledge and behaviour. One is unlikely to find a Rabbi who advises his talmidim to “do as I say, not as I do”. Simply to learn Torah is to fulfill it: and learning it, one learns the mechanics ofcarrying it out. The student at universitywill learn about many mutually exclusive philoso phies: he could not practice all of what he learns even should he wish to. The yeshiva student however, not only learns from a unified system, but grows to live the system which he is learning. Thus his very life gives his learning greater impetus, which in turn gives impetus to his develop ing life-style.

A poet wrote:

“He that plays with love

And does not propose

The right true end of love

Is one who goes to sea

For nothing but to make him sick.”

One might say the same of learn ing. If one studies and does not hope through study to learn wisdom to lead a better, fuller life, then one studies simply to make oneselfsick— there seems little purpose behind it. Secular knowledge simply for the sake of possessing secular knowl edge is a form of materialistic greed: it is the desire to have something— not to be something, and as such will not lead to satisfaction.

He who goes to yeshiva seeking a panacea for all of life’s problems will no more find it there than elsewhere; but for any prospective Jewish stu dent who wishes not only to stretch his mind, but also to mature through his studies, he would do well to con sider coming to yeshivah rather than plunging blindfold into the chaos of university life.

Before we welcome all the new companies who have been granted the coveted ® seal of Kashruth, we would like to bring to the attention of our readers an advertise ment that appeared in the Anglo Jewish Press a short time ago.

Important Notice

Kosher certification is being removed from Kraft Pourable Salad Dressings. Kraft carries a plain K on its products that are under Kosher supervision.

Kraft Pourable Salad Dressings will appear in the market for a short time with a K and without a K. The dressings with a K on the label ARE KOSHER SUPERVISED. The dres sings without a K on the label are NOT Kosher supervised.

Consumers interested in purchasing Kraft Kosher supervised products MUST LOOK for the K on the product. For further information contact: Myra Komen at Kraft Inc., Kraft Court, Glenview, Ill. 60025. Phone (312) 9982622.

This notice was placed because, recently, Kraft began to manufacture many new non-kosher products. These products are being manufactured on the same equip ment as the kosher products. This means that when the company switches from a non-kosher product to a kosher product the equipment must be kosherized. The equipment must be thoroughly cleaned and not used for twenty-four hours. After twenty-four hours, the equip ment must be purged with boiling water. There must be mashgichim in all the plants to supervise this procedure. The company will follow this routine until all the labels with the ® are used up.

The following ad also appeared in the press.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Produ ts Update

by Rabbi Bernard Levy

The ® supervision was removed from this company several years ago. Without our permission or knowledge they continued to use our®. The matter is nowbeing liti gated. It was brought to our attention by one ofour read ers who found the product in the market and notified us because it is not listed in the Kosher Food Guide.

Another company that was compelled by Federal law to remove the ® is La Choy Ramen Noodles and Ho Ho Ramen Noodles. These noodles had Beef and Chicken Flavor printed on the spice bags that come with the noo dles. Until recently the law allowed the companies to print Beefand Chicken Flavor on the package though the flavor did not contain any beef or chicken. The flavors were only imitation flavors. Today the government in sists that the products must contain chicken and beef if Chicken and BeefFlavor is printed on the bag. La Choy is removing the®from the packages and it will no longer be kosher.

Now for some good news. In the past few months we have added several new exciting products to our Kosher Food Guide. I am sure most of our readers have noticed the famous Toblerone chocolate bar at most airports around the world. They were tempted to buy them but they didn’t know if they were kosher or not. The ® will soon appear on these bars and on many other chocolate bars manufactured by the Swiss Tobler and Suchard Chocalate Companies. The following bars will carry the ® in the near future:

TOBLER

Milk Toblerone Narcisse

BittersweetToblerone Narcisse-Hazelnut

Amanda Raspberry

The dark chocolate bars that do not contain any dairy product are manufactured on the same equipment that the milk chocolate is manufactured on, therefore they may not be eaten together with meat. It is, however, per missible to eat this chocolate immediately after a meat meal.

I am sure our readers are familiar with emulsifiers such as glyceral monostearate and monooleate etc. These products contain stearic, lauric and oleic acids and others. Fatty acides in most companies are produced from tallow or on the same equipment that manufactures fatty acid from animal fats. This summer I flew to Penang Malaysia to inspect a new fatty acid plant that produces these products only from vegetable sources such as palm, palm kernel and coconut oils. There are no tallow plants in all ofMalaysia. We nowhave®certification on all ofthe

following fatty acids:

GlyceralMonostearate

GlycerylMonoShortening

POE (20)SorbitanMonolaurate

DiglycerolTetrastearate

TriglycerolMonoShortening

HexaglycerolDistearate

DecaglycerolDecaoleate

PolyglycerolMixedEsters

EthoxylateMono-Diglycerides

GlycerylMonooleate

SorbitanMonostearate

POE (20) SorbitanMonooleate

TriglycerolMonoleate

HexaglycerolDioleate

DecaglycerolDioleate

DecaglycerolTetraoleate

DecaglycerolDecastearate

Propylene GlycolMono-Diesters

They can be obtained from the Polyesther Corporation, Southhampton, New York.

These fatty acids are used in bakery products such as breads, cakes, icings and fillings. They are also used in dairy products such as coffee whiteners, frozen desserts, whipped topping and also in confectionary products such as chocolate and confectionary coatings, caramels and many many other products.

markets is fileted frozen fish from the Pacific Ocean. Andy’s Fish Company in San Pedro, California is now making available a whole line ofkosher fileted fish pack aged in new attractive trays. The following fish are avail able: Red Snapper, Perch, Dover, Sole, Halibut, Green land Turbot, Butter Fish and Canadian Cod. They are also available under the Golden Simcha label.

Interbake Bakeries known as FFVFamous Foods ofVir ginia is now coming out with a complete line of cookies and crackers with the ®. These cookies and crackers will have to be considered dairy because all the cookies and crackers are manufactured on dairy equipment. We hope that eventually they will isolate equipment and produce pareve cookies and crackers. We will then be able to put Pareve on the boxes.

Recently, all major chocolate manufacturers began to use milk or whey in chocolate chips. As a matter of fact, no major company has a Pareve chocolate chip. The ®. however, has today two chocolate manufacturers that produce Pareve chocolate chips and these are available under their own labels and private labels. The names of the companies are Cocoline Chocolate Company, Brook lyn, N.Y. and Van Houten, Pine Brook, N.J. Some of the private labels that carry the ® Pareve are Waldbaum and Key Food. Paskesz and Madanim also sell Pareve choco late chips.

There are many more new companies that have re cently come under the strict ® supervision and we will write about them in future issues of The Jewish Homemaker.

As I mentioned in many previous articles one has to be careful with kosher symbols. For some reason many agencies or individuals seek to copy our symbol. Only the a circle around the K, is our trademark. All others such as a Kafon a rectangle or anything else around the K IS NOTOUR SEAL OFKASHRUTH. Please be careful. Ifin doubt, please ask.

THESE FATEFUL DAYS

“And these days of Purim (Lots) shall never dis PPe~ from the midst of the Jews, and their reniem brancc shall never cease froni their descendants.” (Meg. Esther 9-28).

The fateful da~ s of Purini constantly repeat them scl~ cs in our histor3 There ~verc times when the Divine Presence revealed itself to us in the form of miraculous occurrences, forcing the laws of nature to become subservient to the Will of G-d. The ten plagues, the crossing of the Red Sea, the falling of the IVlanna were manifestations of direct interven tion of G-d in the affairs of our people.

Those days are gone, and because of our sins, we no longer merit witnessing such events. But the SHE ChINA is always with us guiding our destiny, and secretly pulling the strings behind the curtain. Purim was a miracle in disguise of natural causa tion. Haman, the t~ rant, planned the extinction of all the Jews; men, women, and children. The final solution of the Jewish problem was sanctioned by King Ahasverus, and the powerful all encompassing machinery of the totalitarian regime was mobilized to execute the Plan in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month which is the month of Adar.

rlllcn a series of seemingly unrelated events oc currccl. The King killed his beloved Queen Vashtee. (Isn’t it strange that he should kill his wife when he reached the zenith of his fame and renown? No, he did it being in a drunken stupor.)

A universal beauty contest takes place and Esther is

selected as Queen although she made no overt at tempts to find favor in the eyes of the king. (Noth ing unusual, she had natural charm.)

Esther was over twenty-one years old when she becaine Queen, (We’re not going to reveal a woman’s real age) and Mordecai was a famous person living among the aristocrats of the capital city, and yet nobody recognizes her. (Oh, give credit to her beau tician. A new SHAITEL, false eyelashes, a facial uplift, a good job of plastic surgery thinning her wide Jew ish nose, and even her own mother wouldn’t recog nize her).

Two servants plot to kill the King and Mordecai, the Judean, o~ erhears it and reports it to the Queen, and it was so recorded in the archives of the King I\othing extraordinary, lie just happens to be there at the time of the plot, and he saved the King be cause he was a nielnl)cr of the A. S. P. C. A.

Hanian prepares the tree upon which to hang Mor decai, and comes to inform the King about his plan. Just that night, the King suffers from an acute case of insomnia, and orders the reading of the state re cords, and the stor) of Mordecai saving him from assasination beconies known to him. (Pure coin cidence, the King had indigestion and by mere chance, his ser~ ants read to him the story of the plot).

Haman’s diabolic plan of murdering all the Jews was thwarted and that which he sought to do unto them, recoiled on his own head. They hanged him and his sons on the gallows which he prepared for Mordecai.

‘When one summarizes all these events and a few more, it bccomes apparent that they were all links of a master design of heavenly intervention. G-d in Heaven in his abundant compassion frustrated Haman’s intention, and saved our people from total destruction.

Substitute Nasser for Haman, Kosigyn for Ahasve rus, the threat of our survival posed by over 100,000,000 Arabs and the betrayal by our friends (France, England, etc.) and the glorious unex pected victory of the Six Days’ ‘~X7ar, and we witness the recurrence of Purim in our days. We, too, have to thank G-d for “Al HaMilhamoth” for the battles which He allowed us to emerge victorious ensuring our physical survi~ al.

Yes, we have seen the truism of the prophetic words of Megilas Esther: “And these days of Purim shall not disappear from the Jews, and their remeni brance shall iie~ er cease from their descendants.”

RESPECT FOR TORAH

When the Torah is carried from the Ark to the Biinah, all congregants rise and kiss the Holy Torah. In this way, we honor the Torah. But it is not the only way. Nay’, the most important way of respect ing the Torah, is by obeying the Torah, and by allowing the Torah to shape our lives. To respect Torah means to respect the opinions of TALMIDEI JIACUOMIM, our learned Rabbis who interpret and teach us the laws of the Torah.

It is disheartening to see many religious Jews who bring their law suits to civil courts rather than set tling them in a qualii~ed Beth-Din, a Rabbinic court which is guided by the divine laws of our Torah. All the Rabbinical organizations, together with dis tinguished members of the Jewish Laity, must devise a plan to set up Rabbinical courts in New York and out of town on a steady basis, and eliminate the desecration of G-d’s name caused by our enhancing Gentile laws, and forsaking the source of our life, our Holy Torah.

At the same time, Yeshiva students must be taught to show visible signs of respect for the Rabbis of their local congregations. One is required to honor and respect the Rabbi of the congregation just as much as if he were our Rebbe or Rosh Yeshiva.

The Bnei-Torah, Yeshiva students and alumni must participate actively in the affairs of their corn munities, attend the lectures and sermons of their Rabbis, and strengthen their hands in their difficult battle to uphold Torah Judaism.

Constructive criticism should be given in a respect ful manner, and the “holier than thou” attitude adopted by some Yeshiva Bochuriin should be drop ped completely.

Remember, the Rabbi represents the vanguard of Torah in the community. ‘When one gives respect to his Rabbi and to other Talmidei Hachomin, he is enhancing the prestige of Torah before the people of Israel.

SEX EDUCATION IN OUR SC. OLS

by J. S. Rosenshein

IN THE PAST YEAR OR TWO WE HAVE SEEN A CHANGE IN THE ATTi tudes of educators and those involved with planning for education, towards more sex education. In many areas of the country these types of programs are well on the way, with varying types of curriculum being instituted at the various age levels. Although this problem is not confronting the Yeshivos on an immediate basis, I feel it is important to discuss some of the issues involved here, and point the way towards clear thinking on this issue.

The tremendous increase in exposure of sex and sexually related material in our daily communications systems, e.g., television, movies and written material, has add-

ed many problems to the daily role of raising our children correctly. We find our children confronted daily by a barrage of all types of sexual stimulation which they never had to face before. In an open society such as ours, the problem becomes very great, and we, as Torah Jews, must find a way to deal with it. Rabbi Yehudah Hachasid states that when a country becomes involved with illicit sex practices, all the people living in that country, whatever their religiosity, are effected. Thus, as parents, are we as parents we have a challenge facing us in confronting this problem of burgeon- equipped to discuss these ing sex in our community and in deciding what our steps should be in defending i .i i prot~tems wifti our cliiiaren? our children against the type of environment they are now facing. One of the many aspects of this has been this development of sex education in the schools. Do we want our Yeshivos to take part in this, or are they, perhaps, already dealing with some aspects of this without our realizing it? Should we, discuss these prob lems more openly with our children, or should we, perhaps, not discuss them at all, since any discussion will lead our children to think about these things? In general, how does a parent deal with a child who asks direct questions about things he sees in his everyday environment? As parents, are we equipped to dis cuss these problems with our children, or do we need help in learning how to handle these situations?

Let us first take a look at how our Yeshivos have handled these problems up to the present time. It is interesting to note that various schools have various policies about dealing with biblical passages which have sexual connotations. For example, many children who are learning “Bereshis” at the age of seven or eight, will comes across th~ story of Joseph’s involvement with his master’s wife. There are we must conszaer w~iat Yeshivos which will skip over this portIon ot the study, thereby making the child very curious as to why this particular piece was skipped while prior to this, no other the child can accept and portion was omitted. Other institutions will cover it in an off-handed manner, what the teacher is ready to never really explaining what Joseph’s involvement was with the wife of his master. impart at tine various age And, at the other end of the line we will find some teachers who will fully discuss what the woman meant to do with Joseph and why Joseph could not get involved. lë’t~els. We also find children at the sixth, seventh or eighth grade level coming to the laws of permissible sexual practices in families, in relationship to a ‘Sotah.’ I was recently amazed to discover a school where the seventh grade skipped over this entire portion in the Torah because the teacher felt she could not handle it with her class. It is very possible this particular teacher was not equipped to handle this. However, should we just entrely skip over this part or do we need someone to come in and discuss this with the children?

it would appear that there is no one answer to dealing with this problem with children of all ages, but we must consider what the child can accept and what the teacher is ready to impart at the various age levels. It would seem that completely eliminating any part of the Torah when children are going along steadily in a certain sefer would be a negative approach to the entire matter and only raise the children’s eyebrows and make them think once they do find out what the portion was about, that there is something dirty and wrong about learning that part of the Bible. One must also consider the fact that the Almighty felt it is im portant to include these parts in the Torah and that He did want us to learn certain things from it. We know that all of the stories of our forefathers and the twelve tribes that we find in Bereshis have a purpose and that there is not an extra word in the Bible from which we cannot 1e~irn a lesson. It would seem that just as a rabbi or morah prepares other ideas he or she will discuss in class that there is a need for each rabbi and morah to plan how he or she is going to approach this part of the learning, considering what questions the children might ask and how to answer them. The rule that comes to mind is that honesty and straightfor

wardness are the best approach in dealing with children. Children know when you are trying to fool them and react negatively when an adult attempts this. The fact that we impart little knowledge to a child of six or seven does not mean we cannot be forthright about it.

Children at the age of six or seven and even younger, fully realize that there is a special relationship between their parents and that this relationship has a sanctity and feeling about it which neither parent has with any other adults. They see the affection which flows from the mother to the father and vice-versa, and realize that there are no other adults in the parents’ lives who have this type of special relationship. It thus becomes quite easy on a simple level to explain that Joseph, for example, could not enter into any type of relationship with the wife of his master because they were not married, and we do not have love and affection outside of marriage between adults. It also becomes quite important at this point to explain to children that affection can be a pleasant and wholesome thing in the proper setting, otherwise it is defeating and unhealthy. To bring this down to the child’s level, one should give examples of how the children themselves can give affection in a right manner and in a wrong manner, either towards their peers or towards their parents. Children understand this and have already experienced this throughout their young lives.

explain children that affection can be a pleasant and wholesome thing in the proper setting.

0 MOVE ON TO A HIGHER STAGE, WhEN CHILDREN ARE NINE OR TEN years old and they approach the portion of the third book of the Bible which deals with all the forbidden sexual relationships, it might be quite difficult to go into the exact details as to why this relationship is allowed and this one is not. Neither is it expected of children at this age to grasp the entire concept of menstruation and the dinim of Nidah. Nevertheless, children definitely can understand that love between adults should only be in marriage. (Incidentally, it should be pointed out that children should see some minimal affection between their parents. This is a healthy sign in the family and makes them feel secure that all is right within their home.) A nine or ten year old does not understand the exact part that going to bed together plays in his parents lives, but most children do know that the parents sleep together. Hence, it is easy to explain to them that the laws forbidding relations between different types of partners refer to sleeping together as man and wife, without going into specific explanations. When children ask further questions they should be told, these questions will be answered fully when they mature physically. It is true that some of the children will not accept this and will probe further, but it is definitely unhealthy to give children too many facts which they cannot deal with at this age. in my experience, I have had cases of dire consequences resulting from parents giving children too much sexual information at this age. I should also point out that all this refers to pupils of Yeshivos and Beth Jacob Schools where boys and girls do not study together. In co-ed schools, however, it is advisable not to have these conversations at this age because of the difference in maturity between boys and girls and the fact that the boys will tend to sneer and ridicule in the presence of girls. At a later age, perhaps, these discussions may be conducted in mixed company.

Certainly, girls who have reached the age of twelve or thirteen and boys thirteen to fourteen who are studying the portions of the Bible dealing with such laws such as Sotoh, are ready to understand what part of the body is involved. They should receive explanations about physical functioning of a man’s or woman’s body in a

children definitely can understand that lote between adults should only he in marriage.

healthy straightforward fashion. This eliminates their need to search through all types of pornographic literature or other types of material to get their information. it also allows them to realize that the sexual part of life is a fact and that we all have bodily functions. When our children are young, we teach them to make a special blessing after using the washroom. The blessing deals with the fact that we have orfices in our body which allow us to eliminate and carry on other bodily functions. to avoid tve issue Our children also learn about the story of Pharaoh and how he made believe he completely is to hide our did not have to go to the bathroom because he was a god. Thus, they have learned heads in the sand and not to deal with bodily functions. The process of menstruation is something that every girl at the age of twelve and thirteen already has to face. Therefore, it appears wrong realize ti9at our cvuaren to skip over the portion of the Bible discussing these problems in order to avoid are fully aware of what is becoming involved in the laws of illicit sexual practices. Again, at this age level, going on around them. there are certain aspects which children cannot accept, hence, it becomes most important for the teacher to recognize the trend of the class discussion and decide how much more information is necessary to make the children feel comfortable and understand what the whole conversation is about. I am not advocating that boys and girls of this age go into specific laws of Nidah and family purity, but I do advocate they get a general idea that these laws exist, that there are inhibitions and prohibitions which the Torah teaches us which keep the family purity and that there be some discussion as to the differences between the Christian world and the Jewish world in relationship to these concepts. To avoid the issue completely is to hide our heads in the sand and not realize that our children are fully aware of what is going on around them.

BASICALLY,

I AM OUTLINING A PROGRAM WHICH IS NO WAY NEAR those being planned in the Public School Systems of the United States today. It does not get involved in physiological explanations of bodily functions and details of sexual relationships until a child is ready. I believe, however, that we cannot avoid having these topics come up in the classroom since the Torah discusses them. Therefore, it behooves the teacher to discuss these issues forthrightly, giving only such information which the child can cope with. This will definitely mean that some if the children have children will not take the material positively. Therefore, some problems will arise prol2tems Wf3ic~J tvey are which the teacher should handle individually. On the other hand, to avoid the entire discussion in class in self-defeating and throws our children out to the street and afraid to discuss with their friends for knowledge in the area of sexual development. Furthermore, it is their parents, then they will believed that our children should have some concepts as to the Torah approach to i. aiscuss tvem wit~ peopie these laws of family relationships and purlty throughout the development of their intellectual and emotional personality. This cannot wait until they are ready to get less knowledgeable. married. By that time they have formed ideas which will effect their marital rela tionships. How this is true can be seen daily in the types of marital problems our orthodox families often face. Needless to say, this type of learning in a classroom will lead to spillage over to the home and to discussion among the children and maybe directly to their parents about what they learned in school. If it does not lead to this, it means that the children do not feel free to discuss this topic with their parents and that they will probably hide from them all knowledge in this area. This is an unhealthy situation. If the children have problems which they are afraid to discuss with their parents, then they will discuss them with people less know ledgeable who are unable to give them the right approach. The school must, there fore, tell parents about these topics in class and cooperatively face these issues.

From the earliest ages children will ask direct questions of parents about their bodily functions. If a parent responds by saying “we do not discuss these things” or by some other negative manner, he or she will send the message to the child that there is something wrong with his body and there is something wrong with normal bodily functions. This is not healthy and only leads to suppressed feelings ~ .j on the part of the child. Here again the parent must judge the child’s maturity and ~ alt ciiitaren can the child’s intelligence in the type of answer one should give to these type of ques- accept the sanie knowledge tions. The famous Biblical saying of “teach the child according to his way” comes at the sanie age, and wise to mind here as in many other situations. Not all children can accept the same knowledge at the same age, and wise parents know their children and know how parents know their children. much information they can give them. When a parent feels that a child cannot take too much information, he may tell him that he will explain this to him when he gets older. The parent must follow up by keeping his promise. If the parent forgets to discuss it later or is afraid to discuss it, then again, he is failing in his role as parent in a very essential educational sphere.

T IS RELIEVED IIIAT HIE BLST WAY FOR PARENTS TO EXPLAIN these things to children is to relate it to the relationship that the mother and father have. When this relationship is a healthy one, when the children see in their lives what the parents are trying to explain to them on an intellectual level, then it be comes easy. If a parent talks about the fact that affection and love are healthy in order for this type things when two people arc married and the children see this in their parents, then of teaching to get across this type of thing becomes true and meaningful. If the parents are at loggerheads to a child the parent must at all times, no discussion of this type will mean anything and the children will get negative feelings about what love represents. If parents are overly demonstrative act, not lust spea in their affection in front of the children, this too, will tend to overstimulate the children and cause mixed feelings in them about the role of affection. Thus, what I basically am saying, is that a middle of the road approach is the best in these areas. Children should see affection in their homes. Parents should discuss with their children the so-called “facts of life” at a level that a child can understand. There should be no hiding of these relationships nor any false modesty. I am further stating that true modesty has a place and that the laws of tznius will get across to children in the way parents react to each other and in the way they behave. A further point in this regard might be made in that many orthodox parents teach their daughters that we cannot follow the modes of dress of the gentiles, especially in today’s age of the mini skirt. Yet, these very same mothers are slowly shortening their skirts, thereby defeating any true teachings to their daughters and any true understanding of tznius. In order for this type of teaching to get across to a child, the parent must act, not just speak. One must always remember that children will do as you do rather than as you say you do.

I have presented a natural approach to these problems by both parents and teachers. I am opposed to a planned full program of sex education as a special topic. However, as we raise our children in the home, and as they learn the Torah in school, they should develop a healthy understanding of love and sex in marriage and the reasons for laws in our Torah against other sexual practices. The parents and school must be partners in this effort and discuss their mutual roles. The details provided the child must be evaluated carefully at his or her age level.

I would welcome hearing from parents and educators on their response to this article.

By LEAH ABRAMOWITZ

T ALL BEGAN BECAUSE YITZHAK AND I hitched a ride to Ashkelon to go swim1 ming without telling anyone, and came home late, long after midnight. We were dead scared, standing on the dark road waiting for a lift as hours passed, but it was nothing compared with what was going on at home at that time.

By seven o’clock, I heard later, my mother was con vinced we had been kidnapped by Arabs. My father thought we’d been murdered. My older brother, Nissim, who’s been back from the Army several months now, called the police and they were already searching the vaadi which borders our town, when we finally showed up, shivering, tired and hungry.

I needn’t burden you with the tiring details of the hugging, kissing, the whacking and the yelling which followed. Suffice it to say, the next day when my uncle from Tel-Mond happened to visit, there was a family conference and it was decided that I should go to “Tichon” after all. My mother threw up her hands and proclaimed that she couldn’t manage me anymore (as if she ever could); every day it was another prank, some other adventure. And so it was resolved that I was to go to a high school away from home, where they had a dormitory.

Uncle Avraham had sent a son to a religious voca tional high school in Jerusalem and argued convincingly for it. My brother, Nissim, wanted me to go to a cadet school where they prepared boys for Navy careers. My mother wouldn’t hear of that. She was sure I would drown. Aliza, my fifteen year old sister, was jealous and said she didn~t see why 1 should be allowed to go away just because I was naughty, but nobody listened to her. I reminded everyone that my eighth-grade teacher hi~d called months ago to convince my parents that they should sign me up for a high school, since I had “a good head.” At that time my father said that I had studied enough and he needed my help in supporting the family. My teacher had warned that later it would be too late, that you had to register by April at the latest, and here it was July.

Everyone thought that was beside the point, and ar gued on and on, the flowing Arabic speech mingling in with an occasional Hebrew word. In the end, Uncle Avraham won out; I was to go to the vocational school in Jerusalem, I would learn a trade, become a “benadorn” and come back to raise the financial standard of the family with my magic diploma. We all drank strong hot tea as a toast.

E VERY NEXT DAY MY FATHER TOOK me to Jerusalem. Instead of his week day work clothes he dressed carefully in his “French” suit and beret, and I too was brushed and shined and glorious in my Shabbat apparel. We left the town early in the morning with a basket of food, before even the “poalim” left for the fields. I was ex cited by the ride and the wonderful future which lay ahead in the big city’s high school. My mind filled with all the stories which returning “tichon” boys told of their life in the city.

By the time we got to Jerusalem it was already mid morning. The bustle and noise of the metropolis con fused and dazed us. My father’s suit no longer looked so fine in comparison to the smartly dressed city-folk who passed us by in a rush.

it took us some time to find the high school; we took a wrong bus and a wrong turn. My father was getting very irritated, I could see that. Finally, we arrived. It was a beautiful, huge building; hundreds of windows looked down upon us, and the hum of boys learning reached our ears.

In the office a very nice-looking lady told us that the principal was in a class and we would have to wait almost two hours until he was free. My father spoke meekly (which surprised me) and said we had come so far, he had missed a day’s work, and it was important that he see the “menahel” right away. The lady who looked like a movie star said that she was sorry but she couldn’t call him out of a class. She asked if she could help us, but when she heard that my father had

come to register me, she sighed and said we would have to wait.

We sat on a bench in the hail and the time moved very slowly. Now and then a bell rang and masses of boys would move through the hall laughing, joking and pushing on their way to classes, I suppose. They looked very big and very happy. 1 was sure 1 would like this school. I already saw myself a part of those crowds and smiled in anticipation. But when my father asked me what was so funny I couldn’t explain my feelings to him.

The time still rno~ed slowly. \\ hen I fidgeted or started to move around my father would yell at mc, under his breath and made me sit down. A ~~ornan came, apparently the mother of one of the boys, and the lady in the office, whose name was Malka, told her to sit down on the bench ~ ith us and ~ ait too. This woman was also from Morocco and soon she and my father were talking.

She lived in Jerusalem. She had a son in the second year and had come to settle the monthly bill which had suddenly been upped. From her we heard many com plaints about the school. It was too expensive, they didn~t consider her family’s difficult financial position, they wouldn’t take her boy into their dormitory and he had to travel home every evening ~hich cost more money; the “big-shots” were unfeeling, they worried only’ about their salaries, there was “protectzia” (pull) the students were still studying in the summer and so her son couldn’t get a summer job, and so on and so on. Slowly my regard and warm feeling for the school waned. My father also was impressed by her words.

JTIE TWO hOURS WERE FINAl I Y UP.

The principal still hadn’t appeared. My father went into the office to ask Miss Malka where he was. She said he would soon be there. More time passed. Finally a tall-bearded Ashkenazi came down the steps talking to another man (probably a teacher). The bearded man looked like a person of authority and my father immediately went up to him, but before he could say two words, the man told him to wait a minute please and continued talking to the other in a strange tongue, Yiddish I believe. We waited again as more minutes ticked off the wall clock. Finally, the principal, Rabbi Wasserman, said to Malka, “Who’s first?” When she indicated us, he took us into his office and told my father to sit down. My heart was thumping hard and I think my father was a little awed too.

My father, very humbly, began to explain to the prin cipal why we had come. The principal asked him a few questions about me and asked to see my last report card, which I had luckily brought along. He studied it very slowly and said, “urn”; I didn’t know what that

meant. Finally he said, “I’m very sorry Mr. Buskila, but we have no more places for this year’s class; we are all filled up.” My father was overwhelmed, and I was deeply disappointed. “But but,” my father began to speak, “He’s a good boy, he’s got a good head his teacher even said so. See, see .“ and he pointed to the comments written by my teacher at the bottom of the report card. “Yes,” said the principal, “He’s a good student, I can see,” looking at me, “But unfortu nately, we have place for only 250 boys in the dormi tories and there are more than that signed up for next year right now.” “You should have come in the spring,” and with that the principal stood up. My father, too, stood up and began to argue. He said many things about the necessity of my having an education, the dis tance we had come, the fact that he had lost a day’s work all for nothing, etc. 1 don’t think that principal was even listening, though he continued to say, “Urn urn.” He began to walk towards the door of his office, and my fath~r walked with him arguing. pleading, threatening. “I’ll send him to a non-religious school; he’ll grow up to be a “chofshei,” he said. I’m a member of the National Religious Party, you can ask in my town, I always vote for them.” And even, “i’ll pay for part of his schooling; we can’t afford much, but some thing.” All to no avail. The principal opened the door of his office, said again firmly, “I’m sorry, there’s noth ing I can do,” and ushered in the Moroccan woman who’d been listening interestedly from the bench. The door closed, and I was faced with the fact that I wouldn’t go to this religious school after all.

LL THE WAY HOME WHILE I MUNCHED sadly on the sandwiches and fruit which my mother had prepared for us, my father was in a foul mood. He muttered about the “Ashkenazi big-shots,” he repeated all the accusations of “protDctzia,” “out to get their salaries and that’s all” which we had heard from the woman on the bench. He spoke half to himself and half to me, and our spirits as I looked out the window at the fading scenery in the sunset, were low indeed.

As soon as we got home and my father kicked aside one of the little ones who had run to greet us, my mother knew things had gone amiss. She quickly gave us tea, picked up the things we dropped as we came in, and said not a word.

Nissim was lounging on the bed listening to Elvis Presley records. He was very proud of his collection, and did little more than listen to them and imitate the songs. My father had given up arguing with him to get work. Since he’d returned from his two year service in the Army he never listened to my father anymore. He also couldn’t find any work other than agriculture, and why should he do “that kind of work” after two years of “training” in the Army? So he got up late, smoked packs of cigarettes with his friends and listened to re cords when there wasn’t a new movie on. Outside he was always gay and joking everyone liked him; but at home he was cynical and bad-tempered and got into my mother’s way.

He was cynical now when the story of our misad venture came out gradually and bitterly from my father between sips of tea. “Well, what did you expect?” said Nissim, jumping up from the bed. “You go there talking like an “oleh chadash” and expect them to take in your son, just because you beg them to?” “Oh, I suppose you could have done a better job,” my father struck. “Yes, yes I could,” said Nissim, sneering, and we were

all sure he could. “You!” roared my father, “You goodfor-nothing! You sit there eating my bread, lying around day after day, while 1 sweat out my soul, slaving to sup port this family and so it went, into a proper row— we’d had them before. But this time, at the end of the shouting and table-pounding, it was decided that Nissim would take me once more to the high school in Jeru salem, and he would see that I was registered there good and proper! My father went to bed and wouldn’t speak to Nissim even the next day when we prepared to travel once again, with basket in hand to the city.

Nissim was in high spirits and very entertaining dur ing the trip. He told me stories and jokes, and the ride went much quicker this time. I was very proud to travel with him, he looked so snazzy in his high pointed black shoes, tight pants, bright striped shirt, and shining slick hair. We found the high school easily, and Nissim approached the lovely secretary in a flirting tone. She smiled at him, and at me—she remembered me, but we had to wait just the same. Nissim took me out to get things to eat at the kiosk drinks, chocolate, what ever 1 wanted, and I really had a spree.

‘HEN THE PRINCIPAL CAME DOWN THE stairs. I told Nissim in a whisper who ~ he was, and he approached Rabbi Was serman confidently. He introduced himself in perfect Hebrew, and with very fine manners asked if he could have a few words with “his honor.” The principal look ed a bit annoyed and said he knew all about his brother, and it was a pity to have come such a long way again for nothing. But Nissirn with his broad smile asked only for a few minutes of the principal’s time and was sub sequently shown into the office.

Nissim began to speak immediately. He spoke beauti fully and rhetorically, waving his hands, smiling at a joke or two, explaining the history of our family, the importance of giving this one son the chance that he, the older brother, had never had. He spoke of “Binyan Ha-Aretz,” “Kibbutz Galiyot” and other big words which I didn’t understand, and all the while the prin cipal listened intently, drumming on his desk with his fingers. His speeh took a long time, but at the end of it Nissim looked very pleased. The principal, however, said, “I appreciate everything you have said, but unfor tunately your family came too late. Our registration closed in April.” “1 can explain that,” said Nissim, “I can explain and he told the principal a yarn about our mother being sick, almost on her death bed in spring, and so no one was able to sign mc up in time. The principal said, he was sorry but there was nothing he could do since the new semester was filled. Nissim began to wheedle, to plead, to argue much as my father had done.

I began to fear that maybe after all Nissim wouldn’t succeed in getting me into the school. The principal said he was busy, and got up. Nissim held up his hand, and said, “Just a minute, Rabbi Wasserman, just a minute.” ‘[he Rabbi stopped. “Let us talk together as men of the world.” He said this with such a nonchalant and so phisticated flourish, I was really proud of him again. “Let us say that I will reimburse you, personally, for any er ump expenses and trouble this special case may cause you, personally.” The principal looked blank. “You just mention the sum, and we, as men of the world, will come to an understanding.” Nis sim smiled broadly. The principal looked hard at Nis sim, and then did an amazing thing—he laughed; he threw his head back and laughed and laughed. Nissim’s face became red. “Don’t you understand me?” he shout ed at Rabbi Wasserman.

Rabbi Wasserman became very serious. He came close to Nissim and said loudly, “You fool! Do you think you can bribe me like an Arab clerk.” Nissim was terribly offended and chagrined. “You call me a fool!” he jumped out of his chair and caught the principal by his coat collar. “You are the fool!” “You are a .“ and here he said some really awful words “You and all your official pomp, registration and papers.” Nissim let go of the principal who looked somewhat shaken and with a flick of his hand swept all the papers from the desk onto the floor. The principal tried to intervene and grabbed his arm, shouting. He shook him off, yelling and cursing, and overturned the whole desk. His face was all worked up, and I was terribly frightened. Nis sim’s eyes were blood-shot and wide. He threw a chair through the window. People gathered at the door of the office as his hysterical shouting and the noise of

the breakage carried throughout the building. “Call the police!” the principal cried as he backed away. Suddenly I remembered that my mother had always called Nis sim “atzbanie” (nervous), and in the house we all feared his terrible temper. But I had never seen any thing as fearful as this. Even though I am fourteen years old and they will soon make me a Bar-Mitzva party (together with my brother when he reaches 13), I began to cry.

OMEONE, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE pretty lady in the office, led me out of the room and sat me on the bench, where I still heard Nissim shouting—in Arabic, and tearing pictures and diplomas off the wall in his frenzy. Then the police came—two big burly policemen, and before I realized it they passed through the hail, full of curious by-standers, dragging and lifting a completely distorted Nissim between them. He was still yelling and shaking his fist, “Ysu think I can’t be a teacher here. I could be a principal too! I could be a superintendant, do you hear, a superintendant!” By then the policemen had pushed him into a patrol car and they drove away.

I was still sobbing; indeed the sight of Nissim as he was pulled out overwhelmed me and I cried and cried, pulling my hair and scratching my face as the wailerwomen do at a funeral. I don’t know how much later a young man, a madrich they said, took me home and told my family what had happened. My mother was hysterical and begged me to explain in Arabic what had happened. But I couldn’t say a word and I’ll never forget for the rest of my life Nissim’s face as they drag ged him away along the hail of the religious vocational high school in Jerusalem.

jWE FESTIVAL OF PURIM occurs on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and is primarily a holiday of joy and remembrance. It commemorates a miraculous event—the deliverance of the Jews from the evil decree planned for them by the wicked Haman. It carries a message of comfort, hope and trust in tended to sustain future generations of Jews through the trials which might be fall them during their exile.

The famous heroine of the Megillah, the scroll which is read on Purim, was of course, Queen Esther. Through the ages /~ she has become an ideal, a subject for emulation for all Jewish women.

Perhaps, because Purim is a “week A ~ clay” festival; i.e., it does not inhibit or restrict our normal workday routine, it has not acquired the importance or level of observance it so richly deserves.

I leave the exegesis of its religious as pects, with all due respect, to our spiritual leaders. However, I would cite the ele ments of particular concern to the Jewish woman.

The practice of “Mishloach Manos,” sending of gifts, while incumbent upon each one of us, is sadly neglected by most women. I conducted my own poii and found that the laws are not clearly under stood. Some people told me they didn’t know any poor persons to whom to send food! Others thought they were discharg ing their obligations by contributing to a charity.

The “Code of Jewish Law” clearly

states:

1. “It is incumbent upon each to

send at least two presents.

2. Even the poorest person is oblig ed to give at least two gifts to two persons.

3. Women are also obliged to send portions and make gifts to the needy. The sending of portions should be done by one woman to another woman, but as regards gifts to the needy, a woman may send to a man. Some women are depending on their husbands that they give for them too; this is improper; one should be scrupulous.”

You can deduce from this that there are actually two separate requirements to the laws of “Purim gifts.” We must give to at least two needy persons and we must send two “portions” to one friend.

This can be a wonderfully happy ex perience, a project involving the entire family. Preparations of the delicacies should start a few days before. Allow each child to choose two of his own friends to whom he wishes to send a package.

The container in which to pack the goodies can be an “arts and crafts”project. If they are all prepared and ready the day before—the day of Purim can be used for delivering them. Just imagine the sur prised and happy faces of friends when they answer the ring of the doorbell—and find you there with a beribboned basket of delicacies, and saying, “Happy Purim!”

The story of Purim, chronicled in the Megillah, is flatteringly satisfying to every woman. From the Cinderella-like manner in which Esther rose to power as Queen, from the courageous way she was instru mental in saving her people, the tale seems to strike a dramatic chord in every wo man’s heart. Important lessons can be learned from the methods which Esther

employed to achieve her purpose. We should not hesitate to use our beautiful homes for worthy purposes. If you are approached to open your home for a benefit function, do so with the knowledge that not only are you doing a good deed but—one never knows what other wonderful rewards may accrue from your party—like saving the Jewish people!

The Purim Seudah, or feast, presents an opportunity for the Jewish homemaker to exhibit her culinary skills and related abilities. Traditional dishes such as kre plach, homontashen filled with poppy seeds or prune lekvar are a challenge to any good cook. Above all, your home should resound with merrymaking and be filled with joy—even hilarity for this is the true spirit of Purim.

By now, I can almost hear you all say ing to yourselves “What has all this to do with decorating the Jewish home?” My answer is—”everything.” It is the very essence of making your home truly beauti ful. I have consistently reiterated in pre vious articles that the sole purpose of planning a beautiful Jewish home is to create an atmosphere in which the trans mission of our Jewish heritage to our children will be assured.

requisites involved in planning a de corative. scheme.

I stated that four basic elements were comprised in this purpose line, form, color and texture. The former two were thoroughly covered and now we will ex plore the third element—color—its mean ing and use as a decorating tool. Color is of prime importance in decorating your home. It sets the tone and provides the background for your possessions. Color is one means of creating consistency and harmony and also of introducing variety and accent.

Like line and form, color contributes to unity through its dual role as a physical and psychological medium. To achieve a formal, dignified effect, we would use sub dued or monochromatic color schemes. informality is attained with gay and con trasting hues.

The psychological effects of color are especially marked. Color is often the means you will utilize in setting the mood of a room or of your entire home. Colors are warm or cool to the eye.

ECAUSE SEVERAL MONTHS have elapsed since my last article ap peared, allow me to review the subjects covered to bring you up to date with the series.

We started with the general “ele ments of beauty” and how they relate to the Jewish home. We explored “your decorative purpose” and the primary

The warm colors—red, yellow and or ange are stimulating, cheerful and ener gising. Think for a minute of the changing panorama of the seasons. After the vaca tion period and the hot, deenergising sum mer, what better way to get us all back to the business of living than to surround us with a scenery of stimulating reds, or ange, yellow? A ride through the country side during the Autumn months is enough to give one a lift for the entire winter. Conversely, in the spring, to prepare us for the hot summer—cool greens sur round us.

So, too, in our homes, wherever we wish to achieve a gay, lighthearted effect,

we would use the warm colors; to produce a reposeful, comfortable effect, we employ the restrained blue and greens, violet can be swung in either direction—the more red it contains—the warmer—the more blue—the cooler.

Proportion is applicable to color when we think in terms of amounts of color used throughout a room. Here, too, as in line and form, the proportions of different colors that we may use in our schemes should not be the obvious halves, thirds, and quarters. In general, the purer and stronger the color, the smaller the area on which it may be used. The less intense the color, the greater the area to which it may be applied. Hence, strong color should be confined to accessories and ac cents, while larger areas can utilize the subdued colors.

Color schemes can be adopted from a favorite painting, a piece of fabric or from the “Master” artist Himself. (where do you think that universal favorite—blue and green color scheme, came from?)

In translating a color scheme to a room we must bear in mind an important factor that of balance. With color, balance is not achieved by equalizing the amounts used. To illustrate this point; you would not paint two sides of a room one color and the other two sides another color.

4 r This would give you an uninteresting equal division. However, three walls in one color and the remaining wall in a second color would create an interesting “balance.” This is a very challenging ar rangement with which to work and must be planned with great care.

It should be remembered that a large room can stand more contrast than a small one. As a matter of fact, to achieve a argcr look a monochromatic scheme, with as little contrast as possible would be used. Contrasts must be used with moder ation, if not, a room may become a riot of conflicting items of attention.

There is a current trend, popularized by the hppi~ movement, advocating the in discriminate use of assorted psychedelic prints and patterns in neon-colors in the same room. If you must have a part in it —use it solely for play or game rooms— and even there I would recommend re

straint. Keeping in mind our original “de corative purpose” to create an atmopshere in which to raise a Torah family—ex posure to these riotous, mind-expanding schemes would be defeating our goals.

HE POWER OF COLORS should not be underestimated. You have heard a conversation that goes something like this “I can’t understand it. I have three children, all brought up the same way and yet they are so different.” Fa miliar? Well, in a recent report by a psy chological testing center, it was shown that the different colors used in their bed rooms had a direct effect on the learning habits of children!

For the benefit of those readers who arc not familiar with the basics of color, I will review them here quickly. The three primary colors, from which alL other col ors are derived, are red, yellow and blue. Even though I have known this elemen tary principle since I was a child, it never ceases to amaze and fascinate me. Imag ine—the hundreds of hues we see all about us—all stemming from those three primaries!

We mix red and yellow in equal amounts to get orange, red and blue to gDt purple, and blue and yellow to give us green. These, then, are our secondary colors, orange, purple, and green. These in turn, can be mixed with either of their parent colors to achieve the intermediate hues—thus yellow plus green-yellowgreen, blue plus green-blue-green and so forth. Utilizing all the primary and sec ondary colors in combination, we end up with twelve normal hues. These colors are still pure colors because we have not ting ed them with either black or white. If you stop to realize that each of these twelve colors can be graduated by changing the amounts of each mix, you will soon see how we can end up with a few hundred gradations. For instance, instead of equal amounts of blue and green, we use one part blue to nine parts green, two to eight etc. Going both ways, we would have twenty different color values. In this manner, a decorator can use a blue-green

THE JLWISH HOMEMAKER

color scheme for twenty clients and each one would be different.

We can produce still other kinds of variations with our twelve colors. You know that when drawing a line with a pencil, you can get a lighter line, or simply by using more pressure, get a darker line. The color is the same, since you are using the same pencil—but the value is different.

In color parlance, we call the lighter value a tint, and the darker value, a shade. We achieve these variations by the addi tions of white and black to the color. We can darken any color until it becomes black and lighten a hue until it approaches white in its tint. When we say colors clash, it means that even though the color

may be the same, let us say red, if one red is a light tint and the other a medium shade, they may not go well with each other.

There is one more variation with which you should be familiar—and that is the intensity of a color. This is achieved by adding gray. Gray is a neutral, like black and white and is derived by mixing an equal amount of each of the three primary colors. With the addition of gray to a color we mute it, or reduce its intensity. The knowledge of how to achieve gra dations, intensities, tints and shades is in valuable when you want to instruct a painter about the exact color you want on a wall.

YELLOW is the brightest, sunniest color. It suggests light and gayety and cheerfulness. Its shades and tints can be used on large areas. is full of vigor and fire. It is highly exciting and stimulating and also associated with violence and restlessness. However, where used with restraint it can impart a sense of richness and warmth. The red tints such as pink, rose, coral, shrimp and cherry are very pleasing and are widely used in decorating.

BLUE the coolest of the primaries is a serene and restful color. It induces a feeling of dignity, calm and tranquility. The blue tints are partic ularly lovely; robins’-egg, wedgewood, aqua, turquoise, delft, etc. are perennial favorites.

GREEN green too, has a calm, restful effect. It is the color of nature’s growth and the least strident of the six standard colors. Lime, chartreuse, mint, apple, moss, are all widely used for large areas. Emerald, Hunter, Olive and Malachite are also popular shades.

ORANGE a combination of sunny yellow and vigorous red is rarely used in its pure form. However, the varieties, apricot, copper, rust, and peach are very attractive.

PURPLE OR VIOLET

is a rich, aloof and dignified color—a symbol of royalty. It is not an intimate color. It is usually confined to accents an accessories rather than to larger areas. Varieties of lavender and lilac are suitable for bedrooms.

With color, as with your choice of fur niture and accessories, you must exercise good taste. This can only be acquired, as I wrote in my previous articles, through educating your senses by observation. A new mother, having giving birth to a baby boy, would never ir~struct her husband to buy for his son, a pink bonnet. She learn ed this by observation. So, too, in choos ing colors, if you cannot afford profes

sional help, browse through the better shops, or buy a few of the good magazines to see what the top decorators are doing and apply what you have learned. But imitate intelligently.

In my next article we will explore the principles of texture and how to apply them to your decorative purpose. A very happy Purim!

JERUSALEM BEYOND THE WALLS

By MENDEL WEINBACH

Jews directed their thoughts towards getting out of the “city within the walls” to build communities “beyond the walls.”

Around the middle of the nine teenth century Jews began to trickle in to Palestine from all over the world. They came in small numbers but they came from every corner of the earth and most of them con verged on Jerusalem. The housing situation in the overcrowded Jewish quarter of the city soon became un bearable. Arab landlords charged exorbitant rents for every hole in the wall and new families soon had no choice but to share dwellings with

fested lands which seemed to have the curse of generations upon them. It took courage to build a home there—and money—features notably lacking in the Jews who preferred to cling to their cramped quarters within the walls.

PART ONE

“First Bris in the Old City.”

“Deputy Premier takes up resi dence in Old City.”

“Shofar heard again in Old City.”

“Another Yeshiva returns to the Old City.”

These now familiar headlines ex press the sense of excitement which fills every Jew in Israel and through out the world when another beach head of Jewry and Judaism returns to the holy city “within the walls.” After twenty years of being denied access to the “Jr Hoatika” it is little wonder that Jews are so anxious to return, especially those who remem ber the area as their homes or those of their parents in pre-Jordanian times. Add to this the historic role of Jerusalem as capital of Israel— and the focal point of Jewry’s most sacred dreams—and you realize why it is almost an axiom of Israeli for eign policy that “Unified Jerusalem” is not negotiable at the inevitable peace conference with the Arabs.

But just as today Yeshivos vie with one another for Old City sites upon which to build or rebuild their institutions and political leaders compete in demonstrating their na tionalistic spirit with appearances in the area, a century ago Jerusalem

other families. Land for new build ings was nowhere available because all vacant lots belonged either to the various church denominations or foreign powers who shared an an ticipathy towards the return of Jews to the Holy City. Their religious conviction that Jewry had been forever banished from the HolyLand was being challenged by new arri vals from Europe and Asia so they certainly were not going to sell land to them at any price.

The only hope lay beyond the walls. But all that existed then be yond the walls of Jerusalem were barren stretches of rocky, snake-in-

Then, in 1854, something happen ed in the United States which set off a chain of events that would soon alter the face of Jerusalem. A Jew ish philanthropist in New Orleans named Judah Touro left an estate of half a million dollars to be used for ‘charities in America and Jeru salem. Everyone had a different idea as to how this money should be spent in Jerusalem and this soon be came a hot issue dividing several special interest groups. But Touro had a friend in England who was deeply involved in Palestinian af fairs, Sir Moses Montefiore, and he succeeded in convincing the parties involved that the funds be used for erecting a Jewish hospital beyond the walls of Jerusalem.

Years passed and no hospital was built. The heads of both the Ashke nazic and Sephardic communities of Jerusalem decided that a hospital was far less imperative than addi tional housing. They advised Monte fibre to establish housing beyond the city walls for Jews who could not afford dwellings of their own and suffered the most in the crowded al leys of Jerusalem.

When Montefiore arrived in Eretz Israel to carry out this plan his fancy was caught by a hill facing Mt. Zion. He had anticipated grave obstacles in purchasing land on this site so he was overjoyed when he learned that it belonged to the Pasha of Jeru salem, Achmad Agga Dizar who was a close personal friend.

To fully appreciate the next chap ter in this fascinating history we must recall the incident recounted by the Torah regarding the purchase of the Meoras Hamachpeila from Ephron the Hittite by AvrOhom

AN ISRAELI ‘TALE OF TWO CITIES’

Ovinu. Although Ephron initially re fused to hear of money and offered Avrohom as a present the choicest burial site for his wife Sarah, he end ed up taking a whopping sum of 400 shekolim when the deal was con cluded. “Whatever happened to the fathers,” say our Talmudical Sages, “happened likewise to their sons.” This historical formula perfectly ap plied to Montefiore’s dealings with his friend, the pasha, for the hill across from Mt. Zion.

“My friend and brother, apple of my eye,” began the pasha, “take the land at once. It is mine by inher itance from my ancestors and I would never have sold it to anyone for even thousands of pounds ster ling. But to you I will give it for free. Take it for it is yours, just as I, my wife and my children are all yours.”

After such a flowery speech of ingratiation Montefiore was certain that he would indeed acquire the land free of charge. But when it came down to signing on the bot tom line the Pasha “settled” for 1,000 pounds sterling, an exce’p tionally high price for those days.

It is interesting to note that when construction finally began on the proposed new community of “Mish kanos Shaananim” (Serene Dwell ings) Sir Moses Montefiore made the following stipulations:

Sixteen apartmentswould be given free of charge to eight Ashkenazic and eight Sephardic families. One apartment would be set aside for a weaving instructor and another for a pharmacy. Recipients of these three-room apartments had to be of fine character and Talmidei Chacho mim, people who could appreciate the benefit of living in such a lovely place free of charge.

The long one-story house which launched “Mishkanos Shaananim” in 1 860 still stands today as a Jeru salem landmark and a plaque attests to the roles played by the American Touro and Englishman Montefiore in creating the first community out side the Old City walls. Up until the War of Independence the apartments were still occupied by the descend ants of the original families who courageously moved into this com munity “out in the wilderness”. But during the last twenty years these antiquated dwellings have been a haven for desperate immigrant fam ilies.

When the British tried to hinder the Israeli efforts by blowing up the top of the windmill the outraged Jewish community dub bed their sabotage “Operation Don Quixote.” Completely surrounded by the enemy for months, the defenders of Yemin Moshe successfully held out, echoing the courage of the first community “beyond the walls.”

FRO T•O

by RABBI BERNARD LEVY

The distance between Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the town of Otwotsk, on the outskirts of Warsaw in Poland, seemed much greater—in the eyes of that fifteen year old boy —than the road he had actually traveled. His journey had lasted ten days beginning in Bridgeport, his birthplace, and ending in the Yeshi va Tomchei Tmimim, the environs of the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory, in Otwotsk. His family—brother, sister, aunt, uncles and friends—who had come to make their farewells to him before his long journey, seemed indeed very remote to him here on the scene which seethed with hundreds of stu dents from every part of Europe, and hundreds of Chassidim arriving for Yichidus, private audiences with the Rebbe.

Yet, the young boy who—under the influence of teachers and rela tives—had decided to leave America and study in the Yeshivah of his holy Rebbe in Poland, hardly felt any strangeness in his new surroundings. Truth to tell, from the moment he had boarded the Queen Mary with his companion, another student with the same destination, he had been conspicuously different from the other travellers, with his payos— long sidelocks which hung down his cheeks, and his Chabad style prayers —prayers which grew lengthier and more enthusiastic as the ship neared the shores of England. That great country aroused not a flicker of in terest in the boy; as far as he was concerned, it was a minor stopover on the major road to Otwotsk.

The time was the late nineteen thirties. Many Jews had boarded the ship, among them highly prominent community and Zionist leaders en route to the World Zionist Congress in Europe. These often engaged in conversation the two boys travelling to their Rebbe. One of the passen gers was the editor of one of the largest daily Jewish newspapers in New York. He boasted to the “fa natical” youngsters that it was fully forty years since Tefihlin had adorn ed his brow. The two young boys, whose unusual journey gave them courage and a dedicated, brash spirit, immediately reproved the famous editor to his face for such low, shameful boasting. Standing nearby was an equally prominent leader of the religious Zionists, who berated the boys and asked them to speak courteously or, better yet, hold their peace and be silent. Whereupon the editor surprisingly turned and said, “They are right! They are truly re ligious Jews. They should speak as they did to those who willfully dis obey the commandments, rather than flatter us as you and your friends do.” I wonder if that prominent re ligious Zionist leader remembers the unpleasant rebuke he received be-

cause of us. We surely never forgot it.

I treasure many wonderful mem ories of the time I spent in Otwotsk —memories of the special atmo sphere, the Yeshiva schedule and the Rebbe’s manner. About these, much has already been written, and will be written, by others. On my part, I would like to tell of two very per sonal incidents.

The Rebbe learned that I was in the habit of reading English books which I had brought from home. He called me and spoke to me about the matter. I explained that I read them because I didn’t want to forget my mother tongue, which I expected to resume speaking naturally again when I returned home, after my studies in Otwotsk were finished. The Rebbe listened patiently, and then answered, “What sort of books are they? If they are scholarly books, it is a shad der Moach (a waste of mental efforts). If they are simply romantic stories—novels and such, then it’s a shad del hartz (a waste of emotional efforts). In any case, it cannot be of any great use fulness to you to subscribe to the Times, and read the news reports in English.” This lesson of the Reb be, I believe, has great meaning for most of us, and that is why I have repeated it here.

The second incident is completely personal, but it occupies an equally important place in my heart.

I knew I was doing the right thing when I left to study in Europe. But still in my heart I could not forget that our sages taught that Jacob was punished for the twenty-two years that he was separated from his father and could not perform the mitzvah of honoring his parents. I was sad dened by my distance from home and by my resultant inability to ob serve the mitzvah of honoring my father properly. Later I learned how much pleasure and nacha.s I gave

my father by my journey. There was in particular one letter that I sent home. I had received word in Ot wotsk that my father was danger ously ill. I rushed to inform the Rebbe, and received in return a message full of blessings for my father’s good health, signed by the Rebbe’s secretary. My father re covered from his illness. When I returned home, I had practically for gotten the entire incident.

Some years passed. Because of a weakened condition, my father was advised by friends to stop driving his car, but he paid no attention to their advice. When I added my voice to theirs, my father took out that old letter of the Rebbe, that had been given to me in Otwotsk, and said with deep faith and shining eyes, “Do you. see? As long as I carry the letter, I have “protection,” and I need not fear anything!” When I observed my father’s boundless trust, I was proud and happy that I had sent the letter, and I calmed and comforted the family: “Father knows what he is doing; no harm will come to him.”

Some months later, I received that terrible telephone call at the close of Shabbos, informing me that my father had been hurt in an auto mobile accident. I rushed from my home in Elizabeth, N.J., to Bridge port to find my father in the hospital, b~idIy hurt. As soon as I entered the room, he mustered his strength to tell me, “It was Friday night. I wasn’t carrying the letter.” Father had been struck Friday night on his way home from the synagogue, where he had gone to make Kiddush. He never returned home. A few days later his soul returned to his Maker.

The letter is now in my hands, an inheritance from my father. When I look at it and, the address from Ot wotsk, there return to me in all their force, memories of those precious days—days when we were surround ed and protected by the holy spirit of the Rebbe.

I am asked repeatedly by observant and non-observant Jews to explain the significance of GLATT KOSHER and how it is different from ‘regular’ kosher meats. Why, in recent years, has GLATT KOSHER become so popular? Hotels and caterers no longer advertise just “kosher” but they ad vertise GLATT KOSHER. Most of the butcher stores in the re ligious sections of New York display signs GLATT KOSHER and do not display the name of the rabbi who supervises the store.

This matter has brought about much confusion in or thodox Jewish life. Many religious Jews will not eat in the homes of other religious Jews because of the meats and chicken used in these homes. It is my intention to clarify this matter as much as possible, and for you, the reader, to draw your own conclusions.

In this article I will attempt as much as possible to restrict my remarks to facts rather than to opinion. First allow me to explain the meaning of GLATT KOSHER. Kosher meat is slaughtered by a shochet who is ordained by a rabbi and trained by another shochet. Besides knowing the laws of kosher slaughtering and having the practical knowledge, a shochet must be a G-d fearing individual in his private and public life. This should be noticeable by his conduct and appearance. When slaughtering animals, in addition to properly slaughtering the animal, the shochet inspects the lungs of the animal to make sure it has no adhesions or other blemishes which according to Jewish law may be non-kosher. When an adhesion is removed, and the lung is not punctured, the animal is kosher. Ac cording to other opinions in Halacha (Jewish Law) the

wb Iis glatIkosber

by Rabbi Bernard Levy

animal is not kosher. If someone wishes to be more stringent in his observances he will not accept any meat from animals with adhesions; he will use only GLATT KOSHER meat. This means meat which, according to ALL opinions, is kosher.

Forty years ago GLATT KOSHER was practically unheard of in America. Religious observant Jews were careful to buy meat from observant butchers upon whom one felt he could rely completely. The butcher was particular in his purchase of meat. He made sure that the meat came from a slaughter house where all the shochtim fulfilled all the requirements that I mentioned above. Others, who were not as particular, relied upon any kosher butcher who had rabbinic supervision. In those years there were very few butcher stores operated by strictly religious Jews. I don’t think that there were any butcher shops who sold only GLATT KOSHER meats.

A few years later a shochet from New Jersey opened a butcher shop in Williamsburg and he was the pioneer of GLATT KOSHER meat. He slaughtered the animals in a slaughter house in New Jersey. The animals belonged to the slaughter house so there was no problem of one person being the shochet and the butcher. This is questionable according to Halacha only if the shochet owns the animal. Torah observant Jews began purchasing this meat for two reasons. First and foremost because they knew the shochet to be a G-d fearing individual though they were not partic ularly interested in the meat being GLATT. Secondly, to a smaller measure, because one had an opportunity to be stricter in his observance and eat meat which is kosher ac cording to all opinions.

After the second world war when many immingrants came from Rumania. Hungary and Czechoslovakia to gether with their rebbeim. and also with the increase of the numbers of American Torah observant Jews because of the growth of yeshivos and rnesivtos in America, GLATT KOSHER became more popular. At the beginning all GLATT was restricted to particular groups. There were three or four groups, the Zehlemer. the Lubavitcher, and the Sat marer. The shochtim are chasidim or disciples of the above mentioned Rebbeirn and are under their jurisdiction or a ray designated by them. Of course. shochtim of this caliber are noticeably G-d fearing individuals. In recent years, owners of slaughter houses who never before marked their meat GLATT began doing so. The shochtim slaughter ing in these slaughter houscs are not under the jurisdiction of the groups mentioned above. As previously stated the majority who purchase GLATT do so because of the status of tbe shochtim more so than because the meat is GLATT KOSHER. It seems to me that the above mentioned groups of rebbeim and rabbonim have made a mistake by pop ularizing their products as GLATT but should have sold their products as Zehlemer shechita or Lubavitcher shechita so that the customer who is interested would know where his meat is coming from. I recommend therefore for those who are interested in GLATT KOSHER that when they make a reservation in a GLATT KOSHER hotel or buy meat in a GLATT KOSHER butcher shop they should inquire as to whose shechita they are purchasing.

You occasionally hear somebody saying “We use only GLATT KOSHER chickens.” This is ridiculous because there

is no such thing. A shochet does not inspect the lungs of a chicken for adhesions as he does cattle. One does however need a shochet for chickens as well; and the qualifications of a shochet for chickens are the same as the qualifications of a shochet for meat. Therefore the above mentioned groups have their shochtim slaughtering chickens as well. Most chickens today are slaughtered in “mass production” by large companies. Several of these companies have the chickens slaughtered, and made kosher so that the cus tomer has only to cook it. In the New York area there are two large and well-known processers who sell evescerated and kosher-made chickens. In both of these places, there are two types of shechita, regular shechita and one of the above-mentioned shechitos, namely, the Satmarer and one called the Margarettener. Most of the GLATT KOSHER butchers sell chickens from these shechitos. I hope that this gives some clarification to this matter.

In my next article I will discuss in greater detail the problem of kosher ice cream, particularly Carvel ice cream, and exactly how we supervise Carvel products. I allude to this at the present time because we have a particular prob lem. Carvel has two stores in Chicago, Illinois. Both of these stores were under the supervision of the O.K. Labo ratories, and the certification has been removed. The reason for this is that certain ingredients are now produced in a factory that uses non-kosher products. The non-kosher products are produced with the same equipment that the Carvel products are manufactured. Though the ingredients used in Carvel are kosher they become non-kosher because of contaminated equipment. This is ONLY in Chicago. Your

THE HIRSCH SIDDUR

With the translation and commentary of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch

Feidheim Publications

“And it shall come to pass if you hearken with growing intentness to my commandments etc., and to serve Him, with all your heart.” (Deut. 11-13) Our sages consider the Tefila as the fulfillment of the will of G-d as re gards to our hearts. (Taanith 2A)

The heart is the harp, the musical instrument of our Prayers. The bene dictions, sanctifications, and suplica tions which were instituted by the Prophets nad Sages of Yisroel are the musical notes evoking our various emotions, feelings, and intentions to serve G-d accordingly. The human mind is the conductor guiding the subtle tones, blending and harmonizing the words, thoughts, and emotions of our involvement with G-d through our prayers. Indeed Tefihla is an Avoda, a labour requiring the mobilization of all our spiritual forces in order to serve G-d in toto. A labour of love, but still a labour.

Therefore, any commentary to our “national treasure,” the Siddur, must contain three basic elements; the proper text, a correct translation of the text, and a deep spiritual feeling conveyed in the commentary which arouses our religious fervour and long ing to purify and sanctify ourselves in order to be worthy to stand in the proximity of G-d’s Presence.

This Siddur, with the translation and commentary by Rabbi Samson Raph ael Hirsch, meets the aforementioned requirements.

Here is Hirsch’s translation and commentary of the first blessing men tioned in the Siddur on the ablution of our hands.

“Blessed be You G-d, our G-d, King of the Universe, Who has sanctified us by His commandments, and co,n,nand ed us concerning the washing of the hands.”

The translation is clear, and brief. In his commentary, Hirsch elaborates on the meaning of every word, and on the central theme, bringing out all the various shades of meaning and nuances contained in this blessing.

“Blessed be You”; that is, I pledge myself to fulfill Your Will. “Who has sanctified us by His commandments”. It is G-d’s will, by fulfilling His com mandments, we become more “Holy,” i.e., ever better morally, ever higher above all that is base and evil, and receptive to all that is good and sacred.

“And commanded us,” The fulfill ment of Rabbinical ordinances, such as this ritual washing of the hands, is also enjoined upon us by G-d’s com mand.

“The Washing of Hands.” The wash ing of hands upon awakening in the morning, in addition to its sanitary importance, also serves to “dedicate” our hands, and, through them, our whole physical being, which merely vegetated during the hours of sleep for a life of renewed active service of G-d. Similarly, the priest had to con-

secrate himself for Divine service in the Temple by washing his hands (Exod. 30:20). Such a sanctifying “washing of the hands,” is called Netilas Yodaim, literally, a “lifting up” of the hands, from Notohi, Aramaic for “Nosoh.” The hands are “lifted up.” as it were, from the level of lower, purely physical nature to their higher moral purpose.

The mere washing of our hands upon rising from our sleep in the morning becomes such an ennobling and morally uplifting act when we view it with Hirschian eyes as ex pressed in his deep and profound com mentary.

Hirsch’s erudition and mastery of the Laws of the Torah, Written and Oral, with his intuitive sense, come in full display in his commentary on the Shemnone Esrei “the culminating point of our prayers.” The “Men of the Great Assembly” instituted the eight een benedictions to correspond to the daily sacrifices that were brought in the Temple. Rabbi Hirsch demon strates in detail how the entire order of the Shemnone Esrei actually paral lels the sacrificial procedure of the Tamnid, the communal sacrifice which was brought each day in the morning and afternoon in the Temple, and that “it expressed in verbal manner the same thoughts which the Avoda con nected with the Tamid offerings port rayed in the language of profound symbolism.”

By doing that, Hirsch places us dur ing our prayers in the Temple itself. We become, so to speak, priests per forming the rituals of the sacrifices upon G-d’s altar, and our house of worship becomes transformed into a Mikdosh Meot, a miniature Sanctuary.

Kingdom of G-d on Earth

Our prayers consist of two parts: Tehilos (praises) and Bakoshos (re quests). He is the Supreme Being who is infinitely exalted above all things, but He is also Our Redeemer, Our Comforter, Our Healer, Our Teacher. The purpose of all the Tehilos is to imbue us with Yiroh, fear of the Lord.

The hymns of praise reveal G-d as ever present before us in His justice,

in His kindness and compassion, cou pled with His almighty powers. There fore, it is incumbent upon us to lead a righteous, obedient, and moral life which is pleasing in His sight. If we dedicate ourselves to G-d-fearing obe dience, then we are deservant of His help in supplying us our needs. The requests that we make to Him stem from the same source. He is the Su preme King. We are his servants liv ing in His Kingdom on Earth, and we are his instruments to bring His salva tion on earth to all mankind. It is for this reason that we have a right to ask Him to help us, comfort us with His all loving kindness.

According to Hirsch, every blessing that we recite beginning, Boruch Atoli (Blessed are You G-d). we are bless ing G-d concurring with the view of Rabbi Hayyim of Volozhin, the dis ciple of the Gaon of Vilna.

One may ask, why does G-d need our blessings? Hirsch says “Blessed be You” means “I pledge myself to ful fill Your Will,” and in this we help bring about G-d’s salvation to the world which He created.

Novel Translations

There are a few minor shortcomings in Hirsch’s commentary which could have been avoided through mere edit ing. On page 18 of the Siddur, Hirsch translates the passage of Boruch Shein Kvod Malhooso L’O!am Voed in the following manner: Blessed he the Name of the glory of His Kingdom to all the future which, though veiled is certain. For an ordinary layman not acquainted with his commentary on the Pentateuch, it is difficult to par ceive how the translation follows the literal meaning of this santence.

Shema Yisrael is translated as “Hear O Yisrael, G-d Our G-d, is G-d, the Only One! According to other com mentaries Hashem Ehod is read to gether as can be also surmised from the liturgical notes by which the Torah is read. Since it is mandatory to have in mind the meaning of Shema upon reciting it. it would not be a disservice to Rabbi Hirsch if Rashi’s explanation of this passage were also added to his commentary.

The Commentary on Hirsch

To pray in this Siddur with Hirsch’s commentary is to pray with this great Gaon and Tzaddik who saved the Jew ish community of Germany from total assimilation. One feels his presence exhorting us with fervour and feeling to lead a pure and sainted life, to be obedient to G-d and His Torah, and above all to be proud of our exalted mission, to act as G-d’s instrument to bring His salvation.

I conclude by citing his commentary on “And You 0 Holy One” (p. 203). This heavenly proclamation of the holiness of G-d tells us that it is the tack and purpose of every livinc,’ thing on earth wholly to subordinate and dedicate its life and all its endeavors to the will of G-d, so that every spot on earth may become a place where He ic glorified.

“Keep this forever.” May G-d ever keep before us this ideal of His sanc tification by the entire universe which i.s His creation: Ma)’ He keep it in the thoughts and emotions of our hearts as the eternal ideal which it ic our tack to translate into living reality, so that it may never be far from our thouç’hts, and may He ever keep our hearts turned toward Him.

This is a beautiful and fitting com mentary not only on this particular passage of “Uvo L’Zion, but a com mentary on Hirsch himself, his life, and the ideals which he represent ed. It becomes apparent how much strength and support for his battle against the falsifiers of true Judaism, he derived from our ancient Siddur.

It has been said by some critics of Hirsch’s commentaries that the West European Jews didn’t understand his Torah and the East European Jews didn’t understand his German.

The Samson Raphael Hirsch Pub lications Society and the Feldheim Publishers of Jerusalem New York are to be commended for making available to us Rabbi Hirsch’s com mentary on our Siddur in clear, lucid English enabling us to view our pray ers with his profound and deep under standing of them. This hitherto hidden treasure should adorn every Jewish home.
