Festive Gathering of 'Shalom Zochor'

By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX

(Copyright, .1964, JTA. Inc.)1

Zochor" is the name
given to the festive gathering that I
takes place on the Friday evening
before the circumcision of a Jew-
ish child. Friends and relatives
are invited to the home and Some
serve special foods like round
chick peas, or lentils.

- Shalom

A variety of 'reasons are = of-
fered for this custom. Some con-
tend that the term "Zochor" in
the expression "Shalom, Zochor"
means "remembrance" and that
the festivity brings ' to mind the
contention of the Talmud (Niddah
30b) that the xoetus in its mother's
womb is taught all the Torah by
an angel and that upon its birth
into an infant an angel comes along
jarring the infant and it forgets
everything it learned. On the first
Sabbath of its life. the infant wit-
nesses the first experience of the
Sabbath , and thus begins to re-
member what he had been taught
before he was born.
Others consider the t e r m
"Zochor" to mean "a ma*ifiand
thus the expression "Sh om
Zochor" means "Hello (toy the
new) Male," serving as a welcome
reception to the infant by friends
and family. It is made on Friday
evening because this is 'the ac-
casion when the people are freed
from their labors and can take the ,
time and occasion to assemble on
the Sabbath eve. Some authorities
explain that the occasion, marking
as it does the first Sabbath in the
infant's life, is considered to be the
,(first occasion when the infant is

charged with the obligation of
his first commandment—i.e. the
obsrvance of the Sabbath. Some
commentaries explain the cere-
mony on the basis of a Midrash
( Rabbah-Emor) which explains
why no animal sacrifice may be
brought until the animal is seven
days old.
The Midrash explains that it is
comparable to a King who would
say to his coming guests, "let no
one come to see me until they
have first seen my lady." Thus
the animal was to have spent one
Sabbath on this earth before being
sacrificed. Likewise, the child, be-
fore being brought into the cove-
nant of the faith was obligated
to have experienced one Sabbath.
Therefore when he does - witness
his first Sabbath it is considered
a . special festive occasion. The
lentils or round chick peas that
are eaten are considered as a
symbol of mourning. either over
the loss of the learning of the
child which he had amassed be-
fore his birth, or as a reminder
that all who are born must event-
ually look forward likewise to
their day of departure from this
world.

Twenty-one-year-old Gary
Gubner, the world indoor shotput
record holder from NYU, placed
second in the heavyweight division
of the United States Olympic
weightlifting trials. He lifted a
personal best total of 1,107%

merely an adjunct to his shot-
putting. His lifts were 385 34, 319%

The lone Jewish winner in the
trials was the perennial champion
Isaac Berger, whose featherweight
total was 80934, with lifts of 264%,
231;4 and 314. En route to his vic-
tory he matched two Olymic rec-

the favored Japanese world record-
holder.

When Allie Sherman of the N.Y.

keep a pad and pencil at his bed-

sleep. Allie could have used a

Alone of all religious and phil-
osophic conceptions of man, the
faith which binds together the Jews
has not been harmed by th.7. ad-
vance of research, but, on the con-
trary, has been vindicated in its
profoundest tenets. Slowly and by
degrees science is being brought '
to recognize in the universe the
existence of One Power, which is
of no beginning and no end; the
Source and Origin of all, in itself
beyond any conception or image
that man can form and set up be-
fore his eye or mind; whereas all
things preceivable as matter and
force are subjected to his ikhquiry
and designs. This sum total "bf the
scientific discoveries of all lands
and times is an approach of the
world's thought to our Adon Olarn,
the sublime chant, by means of
which the Jew has wrought and
will further work the most mo-
mentous changes in the world.
