Garchik Woodcuts
Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi (left), Apostolic Delegate to the
United States, visited Newark to join in a tribute to Samuel Klein
(second from left), honorary chairman and veteran leader of the
Essex County Committee for Israel Bonds. In recognition of his out-
standing contribution to the development of Israel, Klein was
presented with the Herbert Lehman Israel Award. Other major
participants in the dinner program included Michael Arnon (second
from right), Consul-General of the State of Israel, and Bernard
Striar, Essex County Israel Bond honorary chairman, who was chair-
man of the event.
Reproductions of woodcuts by
Morton Garchik, who is widely
known as an illustrator dealing
with Jewish themes, are featured in
the Art Calendar issued by the
National Federation of Temple Sis-
terhoods for the year 5727 which.
will begin at sundown on Sept. 14.
The illustrations are typical of
the style of Morton Garchik, who
delights in the rich cultural heri-
tage of the Jewish people in their
eastern European homelands. As
the introductory essay on "The
Artist and His Work" explains.
"The environment he has created
through his woodcuts is the same
"shtetl' or village of which Sholom
Aleichem and other men of Yid-
dish letters write. Gar chik's

Why is it forbidden to eat on
the Sabbath before the Kiddush
is recited?
The Bible commands us to "Re-
member the Sabbath Day to keep
it Holy." (Exodus 20:8) Besides
other interpretations, the Rabbis
have learned from this verse, as
well as from another source in the
Bible, that it is a requirement that
the Jew sanctify the Sabbath by
proclaiming it to be holy, or bring-
ing to mind that it is the holy day
sanctified by the Almighty. It is
not only the period of time that
is declared to be holy, but many of
the things that are done during
the day are required to be done
with special significance. Primar-
ily among them is the meal-which
one consumes. It is required that
before one eats a -meal on the'Sab-
bath, one declare the meal to be a
Sabbath meal and not an ordinary
meal. This is done by reciting the
Kiddush before the meal is con-
sumed. Thus, one is not allowed to
eat before the Kiddush is recited
since the meal has not been de-
clared to be a Sabbath meal with-
out reciting the Kiddish.-
Why must the Kiddush be re-
cited over the Sabbath morning
meal, once it has already been
recited over the Friday evening
meal?
The original requirement was
only to recite the Kiddush over the
Friday evening meal. Since that
as the first meal one consumed
n the Sabbath, the Kiddush re-
ited over that meal would already
t the tone of sanctity for the
her Sabbath meals. However, the
Rabbis ordained that since there
was a lapse of time overnight be-
tween the two meals, one should
Intelligence Official
2nd to Quit in Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A high-
ranking official of Israel's intelli-
gence services—who can not be
identified either by name or rank
—resigned after announcement by
Isser Harel, special security ad-
viser, to Prime Minister Levi Esh-
kol, that he;-has quit his post.
Several members of the security
and foreign ; affairs committee of
Israel's KneSset (Parliament) said
they will investigate Harel's resig-
nation and will request him to
testify and state the reasons for
his exit. He was reported to have
quit due to disagreement about
his prerogatives in the security
job.
Harel's name and rank were a
highly-confidential secret during
the years he held the job of chief
of Israel's intelligence and counter-
intelligence service.
recite Kiddush over rne morning
meal of the Sabbath to dedicate
thereby the daytime meals as holy
for the Sabbath. Maimonides even
required -the Kiddush to be re-
cited for the afternoon meal (Seu-
dah Shelishith), but the trend
of the codifiers of Jewish law was
only to require the Kiddush for
the first meal of the morning and
to regard that recital as sufficient
to cover all the meals of the day-
time of the Sabbath.
Why do some congregations
have the Kiddush recited in the
Synagogue on Friday night?
This was an old custom which
originated because in olden times
wayfarers would come to the syna-
gogue on Friday night and have
-their -meals there. Since the Friday
evning meal required Kiddush be-
fore it was eaten, the Kiddush was
- made in the synagogue for the ben-
efit of these itinerant wayfarers.
Many synagogues have discarded
this practice today because way-
farers no longer eat in the syna-
gogue. Thus in Israel today, Kid-
dush is not recited in the syna-
gogue. Many congregations have
retained this custom, however, so
as to preserve the old customs of
Israel.

a sense of joy, a touch of whimsi-
cal fantasy, and always some trace
of sadness. `Gimpel Aware of
Bird Leaves' is the artist's inter-
pretation of Isaac Bash,evis Sing-
er's fool, naive and laughable, but
undeniably lovable and indispens;
able. 'The Young Scholar' is rep-
resentative of the reverence held
for study. Mr. Garchik's cutting
technique is one of skillful control
and subtle variation in texture,
tone, and line."
Garchik, whose ink draw-
ings and prints have appeared in
numerous books and other publi-
cations, was born hi Brooklyn in
1929, received his early art train-
ing at the Art School of the Brook-
lyn Museum, and later studied at
the School of Visual Arts. He has
exhibited woodcuts, etchings, and
pen and ink drawings in many
group exhibitions, including those
at the Seattle Art Museum and the
Honolulu Printmakers Interna-
tional, and has had numerous one
man shows throughout this country
and in Canada. Last year, one of
his life-size woodcuts won the Oli-
vet College National Print Pur-
chase Prize..
