evidence of the relentless
strife to plumb the insoluble
mystery of human destinies.
When Rembrandt married
Saskia, the pretty daughter of
one of Holland's best families,
he purchased a palatial mansion
and filled it with costly art
treasures. Saskia died young
and the great painter was un-
able to manage money matters.
In a financial debacle, he had
to sell his house and all the
accumulated a r t treasures.
From now on he devoted him-
self entirely to his paintngs
and his fame soon reached
foreign countries, such as
England and Italy. Again or-
ders for portraits poured in,
but when he died in 1669, at
the age of 63, he had only a
modest funeral. Nobody im-
agined that this painter would,
at a later day, be regarded not
only as Holland's greatest paint-
er, but, probably the greatest
in all Europe.
Among his numerous Jew-
ish friends was Menasseh

ben Israel whose portrait he
made in 1636, as well as the
Jewish physician Dr. Ephraim
Bonus, who was his family
physician and whom he also
portrayed (etching made in
1647. Among his many Jewish
portraits, there is one of a
"Jewish Philosopher" and an-
other captioned "Young Jew,"
to quote only a few.
Among his biblical scenes are
"Isaac and Rebecca"; "The
Blessing of Jacob"; "Haman in
Disgrace"; "David before Saul";
"The Angels visiting Abraham";
"Belshazzar's Feast" and many
others. There are colorful pre-
sentations of the Tobias
legends, "The Vision of Dan-
iel," "The Finding of the Child
Moses," etc.
Rembrandt's preoccupation
with biblical scenes and Jewish
portraits has its basis in his
deep spiritual relationship with
Jews and Judaism. Rembrandt
himself was a member of the
sect of Mennonites and his phil-
osophy was associated with
Cabalistic mysticism of con-
temporary Jewry, but there is a
peculiar affinity between mys-
tical pantheism of Rembrandt's
contemporary Baruch Spinoza
and Rembrandt's firm belief
that every being is imbedded in
a universal divinity. This is ex-
emplified in the great painter's
symbolic treatment of light and
shadow — his unique "clair-
obscure."
When, in the autumn of 1669,
death overtook him, only one
book was found in his posses-
sion — the Bible. The great
book greatly stirred and in-
spired him. He possessed the
rare gift of bringing into visual
form the fancies its stimulated
in his imaginative mind. "Never
before or since Rembrandt
wrought his great work has
there appeared on the stage of
life an artist whose works pro-
vided such inspiring testimony
to the content and power of
the narratives of Holy Writ,"
says Franz Landsberger in his
book, "Rembrandt, the Jews
and the Bible," published by
the Jewish Publication Society.

N.Y. Investigates
Anti-Semitism in
Political Campaign

NEW YORK, (JTA) — Sepa-
rate state and city investigations
were under way into charges
that an anti-Semitic leaflet was
distributed by the losing candi-
date in a Democratic primary
contest in Queens, a suburb of
New York, last week.
Donald A. Hopper, named a
special assistant attorney gen-
eral to investigate the charges,
was conducting one probe on
appointment by New York State
Attorney General Louis J. Lef-
kowitz. The Attorney General, in
announcing the appointment,
said that Hyman J. Goldberg, the
regular Democratic nominee for
State Assemblyman in the con-
test, had made the complaint.
Greenberg, who is Jewish,
swamped Kenneth N. Browne,
and James E. McGinness.
McGinness, who ran a poor
third, circulated the leaflet in
front of four Roman Catholic
churches in the Assembly dis-
trict during his campaigning.
The leaflet listed a number of
clearly Jewish names as support-
ers of the court fight against use
of the Regents' Prayer in New
York State public schools which
ended with the U.S. Supreme
Court decision last June ban-
ning use of the prapir.
The leaflet also asked the vot-
ers if they wanted a "Pitkin
Avenue" in Queens, a reference
to a famous commercial area in
Brooklyn where Jewish mer-
