Embarrassing Moments

A high Haganah officer recently visited England ... While
in London he met a top British officer and in the course of con-
versation the Englishman asked the Israeli what he thought of
England . . . The Israeli replied that the British people made an
excellent impression on him but that in his country there was
no awareness of the fine virtues of the English people . . . "You
see," he went on, "in my country we think of you in terms of the
days when your flying squadrons played havoc with us" . . . I
quite appreciate your attitude," the Englishman replied, "but. I
have a confession to make, it was I who was in command of the
flying squadrons" . • . Israeli Premier David Ben Gurion has a
reputation for arriving at his office punctually at 8:00 each
morning . .. On the morning of Nov. 1 the. sentry at the govern-
ment building saw a limousine pulling over with Ben Gurion
stepping out briskly toward his office . . . The chief guard looked
at the Premier with surprise and asked "Sir, why so early?" .. .
"Early," replied Ben Gurion, "why, aren't you .nieh. aware of the
fact.that I always arrive at eight?" . . . When the uniformed man
pulled out his watch and satisfied the Premier it was only 7:00 a.m.,
Ben Gurion broke out into loud laughter saying "I am guilty, I
guess, of breaking a government decree" .. Daylight saving had
gone into effect the .previous night, with press and radio caution-
ing Israel's citizenry to move their timepieces ahead by one hour
but the Premier had just forgotten all about it.

Fast of Asara Beteveth
To Take Place Dec. 30

"Asara Beteveth," referring to
the Jewish calendar date of the
tenth day in the Hebrew month
Teveth, occurs this year on
Dec. 30.
Traditional Jews observe this
day as an annual fast day. It is
one of the four seasonal fast
days mentioned in the Book of
Zachariah.
It was on this day in the .He-
brew calendar that Nebuchad-
nezzar besieged the city of
Jerusalem in the year 588. B.C.
This siege lasted as long as 18
months and was regarded as
the beginning of a great na-
tional calamity for the Jews in
that day. , It is recorded in the
Bible (II Kings, Jeremiah 52:4)
and is known to have led ul-
timately to a. great massacre of
Jews and the eventual destruc-
tion of the First Temple.
There are sources which claim.
that the day before (i.e., the
ninth day of the month) was
also originally observed as a•
fast day, marking the day of"
