"Likhvod HaRegel"

Persky Volume Reveals Colorful
Data, Stories of Jewish Festivals

By BERNARD ISAACS
"Likhvod HaRegel" ("Jewish
Festivals") is Daniel Persky's
third volume on holidays and fes-
tivals.
In this volume, just published
in New York, Persky deals with
the entire cycle of holidays and
festivals beginning with Rosh
Hashanah and ending with She-
vuoth. It contains personal obser-
vations, sermonettes and light
and serious articles.
True Perskinian and quite re-
freshing is his note on the fly-
leaf: "i-ermIssron rs given to
translate this book or any part
of it and to reproduce it in any
manner or form whatever." This
is a departure from the austere
note of warning that "all rights
are reserved . . ."

Yom Kippur Spirit

In the first chapter on the High
Holy Days he discusses the
cleansing and edifying element
of these great days and concludes
by saying, "I wish I could talk to
every Jew who leaves the door
of the synagogue on Yom Kippur
night and urge him to take along
with him some of that elevating
and purifying Yom Kippur spirit
with which he was saturated dur-
ing the whole day."
Persky maintains that Ameri-
can Jews ought to devote much
time to the holidays. He says:
''What we need here in America
above everything else is a special
organization which would dedicate
itself to the task of re-introducing
and revitalizing the holidays.
Such an organization ought to
take precedence over all other
groups—educational, national or
philanthropic."
- Invisible Guests
In dealing with Succoth, Persky
devotes several chapters to the
seven invisible honored guests:
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph,
Moses, Aaron and David, to whom
an invitation is extended by every
Jew to grace his Succah table. In
telling this beautiful story, Persky
reminds us that it is incumbent
upon everyone to invite a needy
person to the Succah.
The story of Esther, which we
read on Purim, Persky terms, the
Megillah." Everything in
the book of Esther moves with
lightning rapidity. In a more
serious article on Purim, Persky
points up the great optimism dis-
played by Mordecai who is always
full of hope* and is certain that
"revach vahazalah," relief and de-
liverance are bound to come some-
how.
Persky relates an interesting
incident in connection with the
Tel Aviv Purim Carnival, the
Ad-dlo-yada. As he watched the
