The Strength
of Wanting

`The Tovarishch
Has Confessed'

By DAVID SCHWARTZ

By ISAAC LURIA

16th Century Sage, Excerpted in
Nahum N. Glatzer's "In Time of
Eternity," Published by Schocken.

Once, on the eve of the Sab-
bath, just before "the bride Sab-
bath was brought in," the mas-
ter went forth from the city of
Safed with his disciples. He
wore four white garments, the
upper cloak, the caftan, the
coat, and the trousers, thus to
receive the Sabbath. He began
chanting the psalm, "Ascribe
unto the Lord, 0 ye sons of
might," the song that ushers in
the Sabbath, and the "Psalm for
the Sabbath day," and "The
Lord reigneth," each with its
own beautiful melody.
And in the middle of his
singing, he spoke to his disci-
ples and said: "My friends, do
you want to go to Jerusalem
before the Sabbath, so that we
may celebrate it in Jerusalem?"
But Jerusalem is more than
twenty-five parasangs away
from Safed.
Then some of the disciples
replied, "We want to do this,"
but others answered, saying,
"Let us first go home and tell
our wives about it."
When they said, "Let us go
home first," the master shook
with a mighty tremor, struck
his hands together, and said:
"Woe to us that we were not
worthy to be redeemed. Had
you all answered me, as though
with one voice, and in great
gladness, that you wanted to
go, of a sudden all Israel would
have been redeemed. For the
hour of redemption was at
hand. But when you hesitated,
exile again became what it has
been, because of our great fail-
ings."

On March 13, 1852 "Uncle
Sam" became the symbol of the
United States for the first time
in a cartoon appearing in the
New York Lantern.

Have you got that "nest egg" for
sudden emergencies . . for fu-
ture opportunities . . . for send-
ing the children to college? If
not, the time to start is now,
and there is no better way than
with U.S. savings bonds.

The arrest and trial in Russia
of 23 men charged with engag-
ing in free' enterprise in manu-
facturing knitted goods for sale,
recalls an old story told about
Stalin and his watch. One day
after a conference with a dozen
of his leading executives, Stalin
found his watch gone. He im-
mediately contacted Beria, his
chief G.P.U. man and ordered
him to arrest all who had been
at the conference. Later Stalin
happened to pick up an old
sock on his desk and under it
was his watch. Stalin then again
called Beria and told him to
release them.
"Tovarishch, Commissar," re-
plied Beria, "It's too late—All
live confessed."
No reporters, says the New
York Times, were allowed at
the trial of the 23 men. Nine
were sentenced to death—ap-
parently all or most Jews, but
we know of course, there is no
anti-Semitism in Russia. The
Communists admit there is no
anti-Semitism there.
As regards private enterprise,
even Lenin allowed it under
what he called the NEP plan,
when he found the communist
system sagging. It does seem
that there is a very extensive
market for the articles made by
private enterprise in Russia.
Under the communist system,
there is a shortage of many
articles, such as wheat and
knitted goods. The Communist
system seems to excel in flying.
I don't think that is what
Marx meant when he spoke
about the workers rising.

leading Phoenix into a great
future." He was a developer, cattle
rancher and builder of apartments
and luxury hotels.
He is survived by a brother, Ben
of Los Angeles; two sisters, Mrs.
Sarah Weisberg and Mrs. Kay
