this week of Abraham E. Mill-
gram's "Sabbath—The Day of
Delight."
Humor, Facts and Art
It is a magnificent and most
unique book. Containing- the his-
torical background of the Jew-
ish day of rest—perhaps the
greatest contribution made by
Israel to mankind — this - book
has many, sections which are in-
formative and entertaining.
Humor and fact, music and
art,' are reproduced in this book.
The effects of the Sabbath on
civilization are ably evaluated
by Mr. Millgrarn, who deals with
the importance of the Sabbath
as delineated in the Bible and
the Talmud and who gives a
complete picture of the day of
rest as it is outlined in folklore..
Section on Music
There are stories on the Sab-
bath which will delight young
and old, and the sub-title of the
book, "The Day of Delight," bas-
ed on a quotation from Isaiah
(58.13) is fully justified by the
contents.
The section on Jewish music
was prepared by Prof. A. W.
Binder. This portion of the book
adds to the value of the volume
not merely as an informative
collection, but also as a text-
book for young and old and as
a guide for Oneg Shabbat pro-
grams.
The chapter on Jewish art was
written by Dr. Rachel Wischnit-
zer-Bernstein, well known art
critic.

for of the Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundation at the University of
Minnesota, is also the author of
"44n Anthology of Mediaeval
