Spokesmen for JPS Explain the Uses
of Term 'Leper' in Torah Translation
Explanation of the use of the
term "leper" in the Torah transla-
tion was made this week by two
spokesmen for the Jewish Publica-
tion Society.
Referring to the review in The
Jewish News of Sept. 11 of Stanley
Stein's (Sidney M. Levyson's)
"Alone No Longer,' (Funk and
Wagnalls), which asserts that a
pledge had been given by JPS to
change the next translation, Dr.
Solomon Grayzel, editor of JPS,
told The Jewish News that no such
promise had been made and he
pointed out:
- "The committee engaged in
translating the Bible had quite an
argument about the meaning of the
word sara'at. . . . The fact is that
no one really knows when the He-
brew word means leprosy and
when it means something else."
He calls attention to the note on

"Heb. sara'ath is used for a
variety of diseases. Where a
human being is declared unclean
by reason of sara'ath, the tradi-
tional translation 'leprosy' has
been retained without regard to
modern medical terminology."
Prof. Harryy M. Orlinsky, who
was the chairman of the committee
that conducted the latest transla-
tion, also denied that a promise
had been made to make a change
in the use of the term "Leper" and
he, too, explained the use of the
words "leprosy; leprous." He in-
formed The Jewish News:
"There are times when the
Hebrew means that, and there
are times when it doesn't, and
there are times when we are not
sure. In our translation of Levi-
ticus 13ff, we have rendered var-
iously according to context (and
note our note b on p. 200, at
Lev. 13.3). . . . We do not as of
now plan any changes in our
translation of the Hebrew. The
new English Bible will render
`psorias' is hardly justified in
several passages."

Achievements at Bar-Ilan, University
Reported; Dr. Lookstein Will Speak
on Nov. 18 at Annual Detroit Dinner
Progress made by Bar-Ilan Uni-
versity in Israel was outlined here
this week by leaders of Detroit
Friends of Bar-Ilan, on the eve
of the annual dinner, to be held
at the Shaarey Zedek, Nov. 18.
Paul Zuckerman, who has been
named chairman of the dinner
planning committee, announced
that Dr. Joseph H. Lookstein, Bar-
Ilan president, will be the guest
speaker at the annual event here.
Reporting on Bar-Ilan's attain-
ments during the first nine years
of its existence, Phillip Stollman,
national chairman of American
Friends of Bar-Ilan University,
pointed out that the university
started with a student body of 75.
"For the current year," Stoll-
man said, the enrollment is 1,600.
On the faculty are 150 professors,
all renowned in their fields of en-
deavor." He added:
"There are over 100 part-time
lecturers. It is interesting to note
that among the student body are
16 per cent from the Sephardic
communities in comparison with 11
per cent in other institutions of
higher learning in Israel. Special
funds and scholarships encourage
students from Arab countries and
10 per cent of all students are
from abroad—United States, South
America and Europe. There are
several, also, from Australia and
South Africa, and 50 per cent of
the students are women.
"This coming year will find
new world renowned scholars and
lecturers at Bar-Ilan. Among them
will be the great historian, Dr.
Cecil Roth, of England, and psy-
chologists Dr. Eugenia Chery and
Dr. George Stern from the United
States. In the psychology building
on the campus, will be a special
clinic for child psychology. It is

this way all American students
who study at Bar-Ilan will have
their credits accepted by Ameri-
