0 v1 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).
