Facing tremendous problems in transforming thousands of
new immigrants into productive citizens in Israel, Histadrut has
made available its cooperatives as training centers. Shown here
is an orthodox Jew who is being taught to make and mould
chores for casting heavy metal parts at Histadrut's Vulcan
Foundries at Haifa. Histadrut funds support this enterprise.

Bookstaber's Book Deals
With Soul's Development
In Medieval Philosophy

THE IDEA OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE
SO UL IN MEDIEVAL JEWISH PHI-
LOSOPHY. By David P.00kstaber.
Maurice Jacobs, Inc., Ph iladelphia.

Reviewed by
Dr. ALFRED WERNER

What is man's soul? What is
its genesis, and what is its des-
tiny? These questions h a v e
been raised by Jewish thinkers
ever since the 'story of man's
origin came to be written down
on parchment: "And God
breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life, and man be-
came a living soul." The author
of the present scholarly study,
however, is not
concerned with
t h e se mystical
speculations; he
approaches h i s
subject not as a
student of met-
aphysics but as
a preacher of
ethics interest-
ed in the Soul Dr. Bookstaber
as "a dynamic factor in positive
living and thinking." Being a
rabbi he . is familiar with the
legend according to which the
Lord said to Man, when grant-
ing him a soul: "The soul I
have given to thee is pure; if
thou givest it back to Me in the
same state, it is good for thee;
if not, I will burn it before
thee."
When he delved into the writ-
ings of eight medieval Jewish
philosophers, Dr. B o o k staber
had this primary object in
mind: to find out what these
thinkers had to say on the
Soul as "an active force within
man's life." Hence, this volume
is of practical value • in the
sense that it tells readers what
some of Israel's great sages of
the past thought about the im-
portance of developing and im-
proving one's Soul in order to
return it to the Creator in its
original puritSi.
The thinkers discussed here
separately in b r i e f chapters
range from Isaac Ben Solomon
Israeli, who died in 932 C.E., to
Moses Maimonides, who died in
1204, and they included two men
who are chiefly known to the
interested layman as lyrical
poets rather than philosophers
— Solomon Ibn G a b i r o 1 and
Judah Halevi. All of them were
pious Jews, yet they permitted
themselves to be influenced by
ancient Greek and contempor-
ary Arab thinkers, just as their
own ideas crept into the writ-
ings of various medieval Chris-
tians. Their systems differ con-
siderably, and so do their state-
ments about the nature and
function of the human soul.
Rabbi Bookstaber emphasizes
the agreements rather than the
differences of these philosoph-
ers. He is pleased to note that
they all agree on the thesis that
man has the sacred duty to
strive fur perfection, that this
divine spark which we call
Man's soul must be lifted into
a higher realm through that
creativity which, in the whole
Animal Kingdom, is given to
Man alone.

The same fellow who used to
say "What's cooking" when he
came home from work, now
asks "What's thawing?"
