Prof. Adler Concludes Institute;
Participants to Evaluate Series
Participants of the Middle
East Institute will have the op-
portunity to take sock of the
results and make future plans
of the Institute's activities, ae-
on cording to announcements by
Midrasha faculty chairman Dr.
Maurice Shudofsky and Albert
Elazar, superintendent of the
United Hebrew Schools.
The announcements were
FE1
made at the closing session of
1:4 the 1957 Institute, held at the
Ei
Esther Berman auditorium,
Monday night.
Final guest speaker on this
year's Institute series was Dr.
Selig Adler, professor of history
.
IEat the University of Buffalo,
g
whose topic was "The United
4 4 States, Israel and American
Jewry."
ca
Dr. Adler proposed a "key to
$.4 the Eisenhower riddle" by trac-
Fr!
ing the drift of American his-
tory. "Every time U. S. policy
has swung in an idealistic direc-
tion, the Jews have profited
from •it. When the 'pendulum
turned the opposite way—to-
wards U.S. self interest—we lost
-out," the professor said. •
Eisenhower happens to be
chief executive of a government
swinging mainly -towards self-
interest, he explained. The
speaker felt that -the present
"swing" overcomes the Presi-
dent's Judaeo-Christian heritage
and his sympathies to the Jew-
ish problems.
The factors which led to U.S.
self-interest include the growth
in American clisillusionmet
after "Stalin robbed us of vic-
tory in Europe and our Japa-
nese victory was lost to the
Chinese Communists, the Ko-
rean War, and the threat of the
hydrogen bomb, which is 20
times as lethal as all the TNT
used in World War II. Our gov-
ernment then decided that its
only possible policy was ap-
peasement,v Adler concluded.
"'No ode in Washington ever"
really wanted to destroy Is-
rael. They just decided to
appeal to 40 million Arabs at
the expense of two million
Jews," he declared.
Dr. Adler saw hope for
•
return of a U.S. policy of
idealism. As reasons he cited
Israel's "moral advantage" of
holding with the right. He be-
lieves that factor to have caused
Sen. Knowland, an arch con-
servative, to come to the Zion-
ist country's defense..
He also noted the "splendid
caliber and statesmanship of our
Israeli brothers, the power and
prestige of American Jewry"
and Israel as the one Middle
East stronghold of - Arrierican
ideals.
Rabbi Morris Adler presided
at the concluding Middle East
Institute session. Date of the
Institute evaluation meeting is
to be announced soon.
7 Centuries of Kolklore,
History From Talmud
The Talmud is a great work
on Jewish law, history and folk-
lore composed by hundredS of
rabbis during seven centuries.
It is comprised of the Mishna
and Gemara.
The Mishna, edited by' Rabbi
Judah the Patriarch about 200
C. E., is a systematic collection
in six parts, or "orders," of
63 books on Jewish laws and
customs accumulated since
Moses. Mishna was discussed
and elaborated in great Pales-
tinian and Bablyonian colleges;
the discussions are known as
Gemara.
Two versions of the Talmud
exist today: the Babylonian Tal-
mud and Palestinian edition.
The former,' edited about 500
C. E., is the more important in
determining Jewish law (Hal-
acha).
