A Happy New Year Happy New Year to Our Friends and Patrons Quiz About `Milt Katan' Schwarzberg's Kosher Meat And Poultry Market (Copyright, 1966. JTA, Inc.) Oak Park, Michigan Why is it required for a Jew- ish male to wear a "Talit Katan" (a fringed garment) under his shirt? This is done so that he will be able to carry out the command- ment of wearing "Tzizit" (fringes) all day long. According to the Bible (Deuteronomy 22:12) only a garment having four corners can be used to attach the required Tzizit, i.e. "Thou shalt make thee twisted cords upon the four cor- ners of thy covering garment with which thou coverest thyself." In olden times during the Biblical and Talmudic periods the mode of dress was to wear an outer gar- ment of four corners, similar to what the Arabs wear today. Then, the Tzizit were attached to this outer garment and this garment was habitually worn all day over one's head and around one's body. In post-Talmudic times the mode of dress changed, especially when Jews migrated to European coun- tries like France and Germany. Then, one could not attach fringes to one's outer garment because it no longer had four corners. In order to still be able to carry out the commandment of Tzizit, two things were done. A four cornered garment was worn under ,one's outer garment so that Tzizit could be attached to it as it is worn all day. Furthermore, during the morning prayers Jews wore four cornered outer garments, i.e., the large Talit to which the fringes were attached and with which they wrapped themselves during the morning prayers. The r e 1 a - tively smaller garment which one wears underneath is called a "Talit Katan" (small Talit) or "Arba Kanfoth" (four corners). Why are two different bene- dictions pronounced before put- ting on these two garments at their respective times? Happy Holiday SABLE'S, INC.

It is later than you think. The unfinished tasks devolving upon the Zionist Organization — aiding the development of a viable econ- omy in Israel and safeguarding its security, and the halting of the rapid pace of cultural disintegra- tion among American Jewry—must receive our urgent attention as the leading protagonists of Jewish cul- tural survival. American Zionists must be in the forefront for the revival and renewal of Jewish life. To this end the ZOA addresses itself to the future of the American Jewish community. Our prime objective is therefore the deepening of the Zionist ideal as a way of Jewish life within the Herzlian concept of Jewish peoplehood, sharing with Israel a joint historical responsi- bility for the destiny of our people everywhere. Let us resolve on the New Year to redouble our efforts in the furtherance of our vital program for Israel and the enrichment of Jewish life in this country. The time to act is now ! E.
