versy even before publication,

Truman reveals his opinion of
men and events during the
seven eventful years since he
left the White House. "Mr.
Citizen," published by Bernard

Summer Reading of
'Ethics of Fathers
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright, 1960,
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
It is customary to study the
Rabbinic Teachings "Ethics of
the Fathers" in the synagogue
during the spring and summer
months.
About the earliest mention of
this custom is found in the
Gaonic literature. While the
Sabbath was primarily devoted
to study, it was forbidden to
concentrate upon deep intellec-
tual matters such as are gen-
erally found in the Talmudic
literature after the • Mincha ser-
vice on the afternoon of the
Sabbath. This was because
Moses had passed away in the
late afternoon of the Sabbath.
There thus had to be a change
in pace between the study be-
fore the Mincha prayers and the
study after the Mincha prayers,
it being required that when a
great rabbi dies his lecture hall
is closed, out of respect to him.
Since the rabbis did not want
to leave the late afternoon study
hours as empty and vain mo-
ments, the lighter texts of the
"Ethics of the Fathers" • were
reviewed. Originally, it seems
this was ordainee. for year-
round concentration. However,
since in many areas the winter
months have such short days, a
few chapters of the Psalms
were substituted in their stead.
Some comment that thp "Ethics
of the Fathers" being mainly
moral capsules, are especially
fitting for the warm summer
and spring months when human
fancies are most alluring and
tempting. Others claim that the
study of the "Ethics of the
Fathers" is especially fitting
between the Passover and
::;havuot holidays because these
weeks are the weeks before the
festival of Revelation which
commemorates the presentation
of the Torah at Sinai. These
weeks are thus spent in moral
and spiritual refinement
Some consider these chapters
of the Mishnah to be especially
beneficial to those who are be-
ing subjected to the Gehenna
(Hell) and its punishment,
either because, according to one
Tanna, this punishment takes
place especially between Pass-
over and Shavuot, or because
the souls are released from Ge-
henna on the Sabbath and are
taken back immediately after
the Sabbath. During the last
period of the Sabbath (after-
noon) we review these chapters
so as to ease their suffering in
purgatory, and to remind our-
selves of those moral principles
which, if we abide by them, will
spare us from having to endure
the fate of Gehenna in the next
world.
