BIRTHPLACE OF THE MISHNAH
IS DISCOVERED IN GALILEE

(CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE,

when Marcus Aurelius, the
philosopher, became Emperor of
Ronie, there seemed little likeli-
hood of a new spiritual center ar-
ising in Palestine to unite the
fragments of Jewry. Rabbi Simon
Ben Gamliel characterized this pe-
riod in these words: "Our fathers
have only sensed misery from afar
.. Were we, however, to record
our sufferings in a book, we could
not find space enough for it."
But precisely in this time of de-
spair a new star arose in the
firmament of Juda; no great mili-
tary hero or politician, but a man
of unexcelled ability and integ-
rity, who accomplished the great
work of uniting Jewry in Law; the
son of Rabbi Simon, who under
the name of Rabbi Judah lianas-
si or simply "Rabbi," was elected
Patriarch. This sage, the last of
the Tanaim, who completed the
work of editing the Mishnah, cod-
ifying the oral traditions and
Laws, restored to Jewry some of
the brilliance of former days. This
man, to whom his contemporaries
applied the designation from the
"Sayings of the Fathers": "lie
has' the seven graces of the truly
pious; beauty, power, wealth, hon-
or, wisdom, old age and good
sons," not only restored to Jewry
part of its old spiritual greatness,
but gave the Sanhedrin, over
which he presided in the Galilean
town of Beth She-arim, something
of the glory that once attached to
it.
Seventy teachers of the Law, a
large concourse of scholars and a
great Jewish population lived at
the Patriarch's Court, of which
the center was the Synagogue of
Beth She-arim. Here the Sanhed-
rin assembled, decided legal clues.
tions and reconciled differences of
opinion. Here the festival calen-
dar was fixed. Here the judges
were ordained and here the great
work, outlasting even the apparent-
ly everlasting reign of the Ro-
mans, the Mishnah was completed.
Rabbi Judah kept strict discip-
line. There was no frivolity at his
Court. And even though among
his students was one Simon Bar-
