Chief Rabbi of Romania in U.S. For Visit;
Reports Situation at Home
NEW YORK (JTA)—Romanian
Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen arrived
here Monday for a visit to the
United States during which he will
deliver addresses at a number of
conventions and will meet with
leaders of several Jewish organiza-
tions.
Reporting on the religious and
social life of Romania's 100,000
Jews, Dr. Rosen told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that a Jewish
calendar that had been printed
in 10,000 copies and which includ-
ed a Jewish religious manual, had
been completely sold out.
He said that 1,500 Jewish fami-
lies in Romania depended on pub-
lic assistance and received aid
from the Federation of Jewish
Communities in addition to rou-
tine state aid given to all destitute
citizens.
He reported that 110 Jews are
provided with free meals each day
in the kosher restaurant in Bucha-
rest, which, he noted, was not a
soup kitchen but a first-class res-
taurant. The revenue to pay for
such welfare aid comes from spe-
cial levies on the purchase of
matzo, wine and other religious
items.
Rabbi Rosen announced that a
second shipment of 1,084 Tora
scrolls had already arrived in Vi-
enna en route to Israel where
they will be distributed to syna-
gogues. An earlier shipment of
1,057 Toras are already in Israel.
The shipments, he said, were
a gift from Romanian Jewry with
the full consent of the Bucharest
government which had rejected
suggestionS that the scrolls be sold
for cash. He said it declined to
make a profit on holy objects,
which it said, were the property
of the Federation of Jewish Com-
munities.
Earlier, Rabbi Arthur Schneier,
president of the Appeal of Con-
science Foundation, challenged
Why is that the Tefillin are
not worn on the Sabbath and on
major holidays?
There are generally two versions
of the reason for which the Tefillin
are not used on the Sabbath and
on the major holidays. Basically
speaking, it is because the Tefillin
are regarded as a "sign" (the only
other Commandment referred to in
the Bible as a "sign" is the act of
circumcision). According to one
version (Talmud Eruvin 96b) a
Jewish male is supposed to have
two "signs" of his identity as a
son of his faith. During the week-
days his two "signs" are the cir-
cumcision and the Tefillin. On the
Sabbath and holidays, since the
Sabbath is - itself a "sign" and a
holiday is a kind of Sabbath, the
other "sign," i.e., the Tefillin, is
unnecessary. The general princi-
ple is that two witnesses are re-
quired in testimony making addi-
tional witnesses superfluous. An
earlier source (Mekilta 17) tells us
that the holiness of the Sabbath is
enough to identify the Jew with-
out any other "sign" being re-
quired. It would be an insult to
the Sabbath, figuratively speaking,
if one were to wear another
"sign."
It might be said that the Sabbath
and the Tefillin serve the same
purpose in being a "sign" that the
individual is bound and controlled
by his Creator's wish and com-
mand. The Sabbath, or any festi-
val which prohibits one from per-
forming labor, demonstrates this
control since the individual openly
refrains from performing any
measure of labor. The Tefillin
demonstrates this control by show-
ing how "bound" the Jew is to his
Creator, comparable to the bind-
ing of a slave who wore some head
ornament or arm band to show
that he was a slave. In the Jewish
tradition man can never be free in
the absolute sense. He has the
choice of being a slave to other
men or his own passion on the one
hand and being a slave to the Al-
mighty by obeying his command-
ments on the other hand. The lat-
ter is certainly a much more pref-
erable arranaement.
the Soviet Union to give Its
Jews the religious freedom he
found under the Communist re-
gimes in Czechoslovakia and
Hungary, which he recently
visited.
He found, he said, that religious
life can survive under communism
and, in fact, is given every oppor-
tunity to do so. "Why," he asked,
"is that not also possible in
Russia?"
"From what I saw in Eastern
Europe," Rabbi Schneier said, "I
find it increasingly difficult to
understand why the Soviet govern-
ment continues to withhold these
same rights from its Jewish minor-
ity — the largest Jewish commu-
nity in the world, next to Amer-
ica's, with 3,000,000 people."
Rabbi Lehrman to Speak
