Weekly Jewish Quiz
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright, 1962, Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
Why is it forbidden to have
statues in the synagogue?
This comes under the general
prohibition against the making
or possession of graven images
mentioned in the Bible (Deu-
teronomy 4:12-15; 27:15). Basic-
ally, Jewish tradition forbids
making finite forms which would
represent infinite beings such as
the Almighty. Man, the image
of the Almighty, likewise was a
figure prohibited, because he
could be taken to represent in-
finity. In this way statues can
easily lead to some form of idol
worship, as was the case among
many early nations.

Why is it that the Sephar-
dic pronunciation came to
prevail in modern Israel?
In the 15th and 16th centuries
Spanish Jews migrated to Pales-
tine in great numbers due to
the Inquisition and the conse-
quent exile of the Jews from
Spain. They were then supreme
in the land both because of
their overwhelming numbers
which made them the majority,
and because of their worldly ex-
perience, knowledge, and in
some cases, wealth. Even as late
as the nineteenth century, the
Spanish Jews, or their descend-
ants, were still in the majority.
Furthermore, the Spanish Jews
enjoyed a certain political sta-
tus because of the Ottoman rule.
Hence, the Turkish government
invested the rights of religious
leadership in the hands of the
Spanish rabbis. For this reason
their culture, and especially
their method of pronunciation
took over unto this very day.
Thus, the later European immi-
grants were absorbed in this
culture. It could very well be
that the early Zionists, seeking
to differentiate themselves from
the Gault (Diaspora) found a
liking to the Sephardic pronun-
ciation, since it distinguished
them from the Ashkenazic pro-
nunciation_ of Hebrew employed
by Jews in the Diaspora. It is
furthermore possible that a de-
sire was manifested on the part
of the settlers to bring things
back to the days of the second
Commonwealth, so as to con-
tinue the feeling of a Jewish
State. Since it was the Sephar-
dic type of pronunciation that
was employed in the second
commonwealth, this is the type
that may have been thus pre-
ferred by early Palestinian
Jews.
* * *
Why is the third of the
seven people called to the
Torah on the Sabbath, usually
the Rabbi or some outstand-
ing scholar among the con-
gregation?
The order of the honors of
being called up to the Torah
was • arranged for the sake of
preserving the peace and pre-
venting jealousy among the con-
gregants. Thus a Kohen is called
first, a Levite second, and the
most honored of the Israelites
third, and so on. Usually, the
most outstanding among the
Israelites is the Rabbi or some
scholar in the congregation.
* * *
Why do some readers sway
back and forth when they
read the Torah in the syna-
gogue?
The famous Abudraham is
quoted as saying that this is
done to stimulate the turbulent
circumstances in which Torah
was given to us at Sinai in the
midst of storm and smoke and
thunder. It is also claimed that
the swaying is done so as to
show. that we concentrate on the
reading with our whole body
and soul to the extent that it
"moves" us.
* * *
Why does Jewish tradition
insist that the mourners begin
the conversation during condo-
lence calls and not the visitors?
Such was the procedure ex-
plained by the Bible in the case
of Job who received visitors who
came to console him. The Bible
describes it as follows: "So they
sat down with him upon the
ground seven days and sever
nights, and none spoke a wore
unto him, for they saw that his
grief was very great." "After
this opened Job his mouth . . ."
"Then answered Eliphaz . . "
(Job 2:13; 3:•, 4:1). The reason
is self-evident. Those who are in
mourning are not always in the
mood to speak. Those who come
to pay condolence calls come
with the motive of bringing com-
fort and solace. It is thus quite
proper to allow the mourners the
choice of whether to engage in
conversation or to remain silent.

State Department
Justifies Admission
of Sir Oswald Mosley
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Chief
Hugh N. Whitaker, of the United
States Visa Office, domestic
services division, justified the
admission of Fascists like Sir
Oswald Mosley as consistent with
national security.
He said that, following Mos-
ley's departure, after a recent
address at the University of
Buffalo, there has been no rever-
sal of the State Department's
original view.
Whitaker published the Gov-
ernment's stand on admission of
foreign anti-Semites in a letter
to Joseph F. Barr, national exe-
cutive-director of the Jewish War
Veterans of the U.S.A. Barr,
meanwhile, was informed by
other sources in. the State De-
partment that only three organi-
zations or individuals in the
United States, including the
JWV, had • protested to the De-
partment against the Mosley visa.
The Department concluded
that public opinion accepted the
issuance of visas to ex-Nazis,
Fascists, and other anti-Semites
to a greater extent than it did in
the emotional climate following
World War II.
Pioneer Women Okay
Project for Negev
NEW YORK, (JTA)—A $600,-
000 project for the reclamation
of land in Israel's Negev was
approved at the opening session
of the two-day New York meet-
ing of the larger national board
of Pioneer • Women.
Mrs. Sidney Leff, national
president of Pioneer Women,
said that the project, adopted
through the Jewish National
Fund, would include the plant-
ing of "shelter-belts" of affores-
tation and tree planting on the
road and the settlements in the
area stretching from Dimona
and Kfar Yeruham to S'de
Boker.
Bringing to a total of $300,-
000, the amount transmitted by
Pioneer Women since July 1 for
its work in Israel, a special
$75,000 check was presented to
Mrs. Lily Beyrack Cohen, direc-
tor of the department for Eng-
lish-speaking countries in the
Ihud Olami (World Federation
of Labor Zionists), at a lunch-
eon in her honor. Mrs. Cohen
is Pioneer Women's special
emissary from its sister organi-
zation in Israel, Moetzet Hapo-
alot.
