Yarmulkas Made by Koreans
Rivers Exhibit at Brandeis
sculptures, drawings and litho-
graphs by Larry Rivers, one of
the nation's most prominent and
controversial artists, will open at
Brandeis University's Rose Art
Museum Sunday.
Organized by the university's
Poses Institute of Fine Arts, the
exhibition includes 81 paintings,
70 drawings, 13 sculptures and 12
Yarmulkas for the Passover seder and for religious services in
the months following are delivered to Chaplain (Capt.) Albert M.
Dimont (left), U.S. Army Yongsan District Command chaplain, by
Miss Yung Soon Kim in Seoul, Korea. The yarmulkas — 42 dozen of
them—were made by members of the Korean War Widows Associa-
tion, as part of a project to help support families of Korean service-
men killed during the three-year war there. The yarmulkas will sup-
plement religious supplies shipped to Korea by the National Jewish
Welfare Board for the festival. In the photo are Harry L. Katzman,
Seoul USO associate director, who helped arrange the purchase, and
Chaplain (Capt.) Simon Potok, assistant chaplain of the U.S. Army
I Corps (Group).

Bishop Retains
Jew's Mezuzah
The history of Jewish-Christian
relations, so checkered for so
many centuries, has entered a
new and far happier phase in re-
cent years, notes Prof. Jacob R.
Marcus, director of the American
Jewish Archives on the Cincinnati
campus of the Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Relig-
ion. As evidence of the changing
character of relations between
Christians and Jews here in the
United States, Dr. Marcus cites
the fact that a Roman Catholic
Bishop, in purchasing the home of
a Jewish community leader, in-
sisted that the traditional mezuzot,
symbolic of the Jewish faith, be
left undisturbed on the doorposts
of the building.
Few features of Jewish tradi-
tion can be better established or
more widespread than the prac-
tice of affixing capsular tubes
called mezuzot to the right-hand
doorposts of Jewish residences.
The mezuzah contains parchments
on which Hebrew verses from the
Biblical Book of Deuteronomy are
inscribed. These verses — among
them, the Jewish credo: "Hear, 0
Israel, the Lord is Our God, the
Lord is One" (Deut. 6:4), and
the commandment "to love the
Lord your God, and to serve Him
with all your heart • and with all
your soul" (Deut. 11:13) — are
fundamental to the Jewish relig-
ion. The ancient practice of en-
capsulating them in mezuzot harks
back to the biblical injunction:
"Thou shalt write them upon the
doorposts of thy house and upon
thy gates" (Deut. 6:9; 11:20).
Naturally, when H. Albert
Young, who served as Attorney
General of Delaware from 1950
to 1954, took up residence in a
lovely home on Augustine Road
in Wilmington, he affixed mezuzot
to the doorposts of the house.
Some years late r, Young,
whose many and notable services
to Wilmington Jewry have included
his presidency both of the Bnai
Brith and of Temple Beth Shalom,
sold his Augustine Road home to
the Most Reverend Michael Wil-
ilam Hyle, Bishop of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Wilmington.
A 21-year-old senior at Yeshiva
College, the undergraduate col-
lege of arts and sciences for men
of Yeshiva University, has re-
ceived a Fullbright scholarship to
study in England for the academic
year 1965-66. ARYEH BOTWINICK
of New York will spend the year
studying civil liberties in contem-
porary England at the London
School of Economics. The scholar-
ship provides round-trip transpor-
tation, tuition, books, and mainten-
ance.
