Elizabeth Taylor has been
given the Hebrew name of
Elisheba upon her acceptance
of the Jewish faith, Joe
Hyams.reveals in his column
"About Hollywood" in the
New York Herald Tribune.
Under the title "The • Tsim-
mis of Elizabeth Taylor,"
H y a vi S wrote from Las
Vegas:
Eddie Fisher had just com-
pleted his first show at the
Tropicana Hotel when he and
Elizabeth Taylor held a press
conference in the hotel's "Celeb-
rity Room." Although news sto-
ries have been written about
Couple to Ignore
Sefirah Ban
HOLLYWOOD (JTA)—Ed-
die Fisher said this week he
and convert Elizabeth Taylor
would ignore the sefirah ban
on Jewish weddings between
Passover and Shavuot.
The entertainer said he and
Miss Taylor had received nu-
merous letters pointing out
the ban. "That's Orthodox
Jewish law," said E d d i e.
"We're Reform."
Rabbi Max Nussbaum of
Hollywood's Temple Israel
said he still planned to marry
Eddie and Liz despite a ruling
by three Neveda judges that
the wedding would not be
legal in Nevada. -
Rabbi Nussbaum said the
two could be married in
Nevada by a Justice • of the
Peace and then he would per-
form the religious ceremony,
"giving sanction to a legal
state that already exists." -
the news conference wherein he
and Elizabeth announced they
will get married next month, to
me the conference itself was as
interesting as the news that
came out of it.
The young couple sat holding
hands on a long couch facing
the press in a roam full of
euriosity-seekers.
"Tome on, Elisheba, it's time
to go," said •Mr. Fisher.
"What did you call Eliza-
beth?" a reporter asked.
"Elisheba — it's her Hebrew
name," said Mr. Fisher.
Miss Taylor then sang in He-
faith, I won't be able to float
down the Nile in a barge—some-
thing I always wanted to do,"
said Miss Taylor, referring to
the recent banning of her pic-
tures in Egypt because she had
become Hebrew.
A reporter congratulated Mr.
Fisher on his singing voice dur-
ing the show.
"I'm in love," said Mr. Fisher.
"This is really a tsimmis, isn't
it?" said Miss Taylor, nodding
toward the onlookers.
"Would you spell that, please,
and explain it?" a reporter
asked.
"Tsimmis, t-s-i-m-rn-i-s is a
tumult, t-u-m-u-l-t," said Miss
Taylor, who spelled both words.
Finally the newsmen and
their subjects got down to the
business at hand. When the in-
terview was over some one ask-
ed Miss Taylor whether she had
any regrets.
"The important thing is that
we have been honest in what
we've done," she said. "We have
ourselves to live with."
"That about says it," added
Mr. Fisher.

of the Bible.
Commenting on the results
of his many excavations_ in the
Holy Land, and that done by
other researchers, he main-
tained that an understanding
of this history is necessary to
theperspective in which one
views the relationship between
Judaism and Christianity.
Dr. Albright describes t h e
Bible as the "Center of His-
tory," from which sprang both
Normative Judaism and Chris-
tianity, "ofshoots of the same
spiritual root."
These and other facets of
Christian and Jewish theologi-
cal history will be discussed by
Dr. Albright at the Field Lec-
ture on "The Dead Sea Scrolls
and the New Testament" at 8
p.m., May 19, in the Art Insti-
tute auditorium. Dr. Albright
will also be chairman of the
"WSU Conference on Old Tes-
tament Studies" on May 18 and

posium, according to Dr.
