VIENNA (JTA) — Loud anti-
Semitic remarks' were heard to-
day in Vienna Uniyersity hall
during a lecture by Israeli Pro-
fessor A. Flusser about Essenes
and Christians in the light of
recent Israeli research.
After the lecture, which was
attended by a large audience of
students and faculty members,
a poster was found on the uni-
versity hall with the inscrip-
tion: "Pig Jews; Out of Aus-
tria!" Police began an investi-
gation.
Is there a Jew who does not know the significance of this
time-honored question, and the ancient tradition of its answer?
What greater nachas does the observant Jew enjoy than the
deep-rooted pleasure of having the youngest sort ask on
Seder night:
"Why, father . . . why is this night distinguished from all
other nights?"
What a deep feeling of pride we have in the memory of
the day when we, as children, were first privileged to ask this
question of our father!
Thousands of years of tradition lie behind the answer he
gave us ... because our history as a free people began with
Passover. Only after the Exodus came the Tablets with the
Ten Commandments;then came our Torah and the. Laws that
have guided us during the centuries; and then came our Sages
who transmitted this sacred heritage to us.
a family of
Before the first Passover we were a family
the Twelve Tribes; it was after the Exodus that we became a
nation . . . a People Of The Torah . . . unswerving and un-
daunted in our rendezvous with destiny, dedicated to the
service of G-D and humanity. Little wonder that Passover is
fraught with such inspiring significance.
Why does the youngest son ask The Four Questions? It is
not mere chance that our Sages decreed that the youngest
member of the family be given the honor of asking The Four
Questions; in their infinite wisdom the Sages realized that the
,preservation of PESACH• depended upon its transmission
from father to son. Thus each father repeats the same answer
year after year, century after century, so that we may keep
the meaning of Pesach alive in our hearts, and not merely as
words in a book.
Just so we Streits accepted from our father the sacred trust
of baking matzos. For half a century in this blessed land we
have been privileged to bake Passover matzos for our fellow
Jews. We are grateful to possess this coveted trust to ob-
serve the rigid precepts of Kashruth which go with it. We are
proud to bake Shmurah Matzo that the most pious, most
learned, most reverent Jew . . . and "Kol Yisroel", all our
brethren ... may confidently use for the Afikomen. With every
Jewish father who breaks the Afikomen and bestows it piece
by piece upon his shining-faced brood, we share a historic
gladness; from every Jew who graces his Passover table with
our matzos we derive a lcovod more precious to us than the
gold of Ophir.
May we in all humility say this: The House of Streit has
been blessed with good fortune; through the years our ovens
have been busy; trucks, trains and boats have carried our
products to every corner of the world wherever there are Jews;
many, many are the "daily" Kosher products that bear our
name.
But they are all secondary to the true purpose of our con-
tinued existence . • . the observant and traditional baking of
Passover matzos ... that continuity of obligation handed down
to us, father to son, father to son, father to son! And this is
What we learned from our father, Aron Streit, of blessed
memory ... the mandate of Kashruth, the unbowing fidelity
to correctness, the traditional family formula responsible for
the unmatched taste and quality of Streit matzos.
This precious heritage from our father we are proud to
pass on to our children, even unto the youngest grandson who,
on this coming Passover, will historically inquire:
•
"MA NISH-TANAW...?"
How happily, proudly, thankfully will we answer him!

decline had been accompanied
by "the displacement of Yiddish
and Hebrew, which were in reg-
ular use in the Jewish enclaves,
by English exclusively" in the
United States.
Dr. Kallen told the 500 ban-
quet guests "the connection be-
tween intellectual distinction
and linguistic diversity is tra*-
ditional, and liberal educatiOn
has always been identified with
the study and use of more than
one language and literatUre.
With the Jewish people this
has been a part of their way
of life and a source of their
achievements in the non-Jewish
world. Its lapse is a serious
loss which the Jewish schools
can repair, if their teachers are
adequately equipped for the
task."
He then cited the curriculum
of the Jewish Teachers Semin-
ary, and what he termed "its
design to develop in students an
orchestrated competence in Eng-
lish, Yiddish and Hebrew" and
told the audience that achiev-e-
ment of that design could
"serve to restore the intellec-
tual stature". of Jewish students
in American colleges. He ap-
pealed strongly for more • con-
sistent and widespread support
by American Jewry for the
Seminary's program to help as-
sure achievement of that goal.

The American Jewish Con-

ment "a scope and importance

a survey of anti-Semitic move-

states that the danger posed
by such groups was "remote

does not justify any present
departure from our traditional

At the same time, the sur-
