Editor, The Jewish News:
For many years, I regarded
the weekly which you edited one
of the leading Anglo-Jewish
papers in the country. However,
I must say that the Detroit Jew-
ish News, the third issue of
which I received over the week-
end surpasses your former, ex-
cellent achievements. Your var-
ious News Services, the special
interest columns and special fea-
tures, the format, etc., have al-
ready established it as the leader
of the Anglo-Jewish weeklies in
America.
I congratulate you and the *De-
troit Jewish community. May
you go "mechayil el choyil" for
the enhancement of Detroit
Jewry and as an example to the

WHAT IS THE BIBLE?
In- a statement prepared by
Leo W. Schwarz, a very able
Jewish writer, for Young Jud-
aea, the important movement of
Jewish youth which functions
as the junior branch of the Zion-
ist movement in America, the
meaning and importance of the
Bible is described as follows:
If one thinks of the Bible in
terms of a book as we know it
today—a book of fiction, a book
of history, etc.—that person has
an erroneous idea of what the
Bible actually is.
The Bible is not a book; it is
not only a collection of stories
or of law or of religious writings.
The Bible is a collection of books
and works, written during many
centuries of Israel's history,
which were finally placed to-
gether and edited by the scribes
for study and edification.
Some books which were not
admitted into the collection —
such as the book of Maccabees
and Wisdom of Ben Sira—are
known as apocryphal writings
(hidden writings). In the Talmud
there is a discussion as to which
books are divinely inspired.
Glance into a Hebrew Bible or
into the translation of the Jew-
ish Publication Society and you
will find the collection is divid-
ed into three sections, viz. Torah
(Law) or five books of Moses;
Neviim (Prophetical books) and
Ketubim (Miscellaneous writ-
ings)-
