ALBANY (JTA)--A legisla-
tive battle appears imminent
in the New York State Legis-
lature here over an attempt
to pass a bill providing for the
introduction of a "non-denomi-
nation" Ten Commandments in
the wake of the Education
Commissioner's ruling that such
a version introduced in the
suburban New Hyde Park
School system was "divisive
and improper" and ordered the
decalogue removed from the
schools as causing conflict and
controversy.
Opponents of the bill are
the American Jewish Congress,
Anti-Defamation Le ague of
Bnai Brith, Civil Liberties

tional groups.

JERUSALEM (JTA)—
Jordanian newspapers re-
ported their government was
"shocked" to learn that its
Washington Embassy was lo-
cated in a hotel owned by
Jews. The Amman govern-
ment announced it had "ord-
ered" the embassy to move.
The Hotel Twenty-f o u r
Hundred, where the Jor-
danian Embassy has its head-
quarters, has long been
known in Washington as a
place -where kosher food is
available b y pre-arrange-
ment, and where the Miz-
rachi — orthodox Zionists —
often hold their conventions.
Letter Box
Ford Executive Gets Probus Award
We Regret the Error
Editor, The Jewish News:
I read with appreciation the
review of the work of Rabbi
Samson Raphael Hirsch in your
Fast issue. Rabbi Samson Ra-
phael Hirsch certainly is one of
the most significant as well as
least known thinkers of modern
Judaism, and your review gave
him well deserved praise.
However, I was most sur-
prised- to see you quote him as
saying that "only hard physical
work is prohibited on Sabbath,
but easy, non-strenuous work,
or work undertaken for spiri-
tual activities is allowed."
This sentence is taken out of
context and is the exact oppo-
site of the author's view. The
full paragraph reads:
"When Jews began to be dis-
loyal to the oath they took at
Sinai, which swore 'to bring life
into line with the Torah' and
altered it to 'bring the Torah
into line with life', then the
great Law of Sabbath, that basis
on which the whole Jewish life
is built, had to receive a new
interpretation to make it har-
monize with the demands of
life. Without having the slight-
est concern whether there was
any foundation for it in the
Torah . . . Sabbath was pro-
claimed as a day of bodily rest
. . . : Only hard physical work
is prohibited on Sabbath, but
easy, non-strenuous work, or
work undertaken for spiritual
activities is allowed, and so 'the
adjustment of the Law to the
demands of Life' was accom-
plished. BUT (author's caps!)
nowhere in the Torah is there
the slightest suggestion that the
cessation of all `Melachah' (has
this meaning)."
"The idea of `Melachah' in no
wise necessarily entails the idea
of strenuous physical labor, • . .
but the intelligent carrying out
of -an intention. Thou shalt not
carry out thy intention on any
thing, make no thing the bearer
of thy purpose; in general, not
produce; not construct (not
use) the material of the world
for our own purposes."
This is, indeed, the traditional
concept of the Sabbath, clearly
applied to modern life. I do
believe, in the words of your
reviewer, that "it can serve as
a guide for Jews of this coun-
try." For us, as for mankind at
large, it is vitally necessary to
realize that the material world
is not ours, to use as we please,
but was created by a master
whose lofty guidance must be
our law.
Yours truly,
Rabbi JOSEPH ELIAS
Synagogue's Get
Plea for Purim
JNF Solicitation
The Jewish National Fund,
through the synagogue commit-
tee, again calls upon rabbis and
layleaders of the synagogues
in Detroit and out-state, to con-
duct the traditional Purim ap-
peal for Shalach Monos to
Israel, in the form of contri-
butions for the reclamation of
the soil or Geulat Haaretz.
Purim this year will be ob-
served Thursday, March 6. The
Magillah will be read in all
synagogues Wednesday night,
March 5, and Thursday morn-
ing, March 6. Many rabbis have
informed the synagogue com-
mittee that they will dedicate
their Saturday morning sermons
preceding Purim to the work of
Jewish National Fund.
The synagogue committee, of
which Harry Cohen, Abe Nus-
baum, Max Stollman, Daniel
Temchin and Zvi Tomkiewicz
are co-chairmen, expressed its
faith in a most favorable re-
sponse of Michigan Jewry to
the call for Shalach Monos for
Jewish National Fund.

professional and businessman's service group. SOL I. STEIN,
award committee chairman, looks on. Over 300 Probus Club
members and their friends attended the dinner at the Sheraton-
Cadillac Hotel last Saturday when the presentation was made.
