Into the Fabric of Eternity

MRS. FREDERICK BERKLEY

Jeredith Gottfurcht and Fred-
erick Barry Berkley were united
in marriage Sunday evening at
Adas Shalom Synagogue. They
are the children of Mr. and Mrs.
Adolph Gottfurcht of Greenlawn
Ave. and the Benjamin Berkleys
of Woodingham Dr.
The bride wore an Empire gown
of embroidered Alencon lace with
doublet sleeves and an A-line skirt.
A cathedral-length mantilla of
matching lace and French illusion
fell from a cluster of mock lily
of the valley.

When "Man Is Not Alone" by
Abraham Joshua Heschel first was
published in • 1951, it was imme-
diately acclaimed as a religious
classic. Now made available as
a paperback, as
a Harper & Row
Torchbook, pub-
lished in associa-
tion with t h e
Jewish Publica-
tion Society, this
"philosophy of
Judaism" once
again emerges as
one of the great
interpretations of
faith and of the
Jewish way of
life.

to integrate the unknown with the
known," and "faith seeks to inte-
grate the unknown with the di-
vine," he declares:
"When transformed into creed,
faith is rendered in conventional
terms of reason. Such terms come
and go, and what is lucid today
may be a travesty tomorrow.
Reason's great conflict is not with
fith but with belief."
Thus, in "Man Is Not Alone,"
we hear the voice of a faithful
man who adjusts reason with
creed, who directs his followers—
and . his readers—to an apprecia-
tion of the highest ideals in the
teachings of Judaism and the
Jew's relation to mankind.
