"The Consecration of the Candles" by Isidor Kaufmann

Kindling the Sabbath Lights

By Phillip M. Raskin
From memory's spring flows a vision tonight,
My mother is kindling and blessing the light.
The light of Queen Sabbath, the heavenly flame,
That one day in seven quells hunger and shame.
My mother is praying and screening her face.
Too bashful to gaze at the Sabbath light's grace.
She _murmurs devoutly, 'Almighty, be blessed,'
For sending Thy angel of joy and rest.
`And may as the candles of Sabbath divine
The eyes of my son in Thy law ever shine.'
Of childhood, fair childhood, the years are long fled,
Youth's candles are quenched, and my mother is dead.
And yet, ev'ry Friday, when twilight arrives,
The face of my mother within me revives,
A prayer on her lips, '0 Almighty, be blessed,
Far sending us Sabbath, the angel of rest.'
And some hidden feeling I cannot control
A Sabbath light kindles deep, deep in my soul.

The Jewish Spirit- as Malik Saw It

Let them say what they like:
this strange nation called Israel,
despite all the tribulations and
vicissitudes that plagued it day
by day and hour by hour these two
thousands years . . . has pledged
itself body and soul to the king-
dom of the spirit for all eternity.
Here, in the kingdom of the
spirit, it knows itself a free and
firmly based citizen; on the soil
of this world it has planted its
feet with all its might, and will
not budge. All the manifold defile-
ments of the accursed Exile have
not made it change its mind; all
the manifold sufferings of shame-
ful poverty have not coerced it in-
to altering its fundamental char-
acter.
Compelled as it was to give
up the life of the passing hour
for sake of eternal life, it learn-
ed in the days of its poverty and
tribulation to subdue the needs
of its body to the needs of its
soul, to subordinate the demands
of the material to the claims of
the spirit.
Within the boundaries of this
kingdom, the people of Israel has
created its principal national assets
and institutions, which sustained
it in poverty through two thous-
and years of wandering and pre-

served its inner freedom in the
midst of external servitude; it is
they that have kept it alive and en-
abled it to survive until this festi-
val, the opening of the University
of Mount Scopus.
The national school in all its
forms: the elementary Hebrew
school, t h e Talmudic Academy,
the House of Study—these have
been our m i g h tie s t fortresses
throughout our long and difficult
struggle for our survival and our
right to exist in the world as a
separate people, distinct among
the nations.
—From his address at the
opening of the Hebrew Uni-
versity in Jerusalem, 1925.

Etymology of Hebrew Word 'Shalom'
Shows Arabic, English Derivatives

According to Hugh Harris, writing
In the Liberal Jewish Monthly. the
etymological derivation of the He-
brew word Shalom is from a root
that means 'whole' or 'complete.'
Quite naturally, if one was whole
he was well and all as peaceful
with him, and Shalom developed
to its present meaning of 'peace.'
In Arabic the word is pro-
nounced Salaam, and because the
greeting was generally accompa-
nied by a bow, the word came to
mean 'bowing deeply.' The most
fascinating development of this
word is perhaps the least known.
In the Malay Peninsula the native
Moslem population pronounced
Salaam as Salang. British soldiers
stationed there liked the word
and brought it back to England,

where it was changed to make
some sort of sense and became
"So long." Thus the common Eng-
lish farewell phrase goes back di-
rectly to the Hebrew word Sim/0m.
The English 'whole,' meaning
"in sound condition," originally
meant 'well,' as in the expres-
sion "They that be whole need
not a physician." 'Whole' is ety-
mologically a cognate word with
'health' and 'heal' and also with
the word 'hale' as in "hale and
hearty."
`Hale' is connected with the
word 'hail,' as in the phrase "Hail
fellow, well met," so that to hail
or greet a person originally meant
to enquire if the person was
`healthy' or 'whole.' And 'whole'
is etymologically cognate with the
word 'holy.' Associated with bod-
ily health and perfection is the
idea of moral and spiritual health
and perfection. What is 'whole-
some' is 'holy.'
All these ideas are associated
with the word Shalom. From the
idea of what is whole and com-
plete, it came to denote welfare,
safety, health, concord, harmony,
and peace, whether applied to
body, mind or spirit, to the indi-
vidual or to society, to national
or international relationships,
It is significant of the Jewish
outlook on life that this ex-
pressive word has r e main e d
throughout thousands of years as
the word of greeting and saluta-
tion in everyday speech whenever
a man greets his neighbor.
