Scientists Take Up Space at Yeshiva Hershman's Name

Recalled in ABC
Responsa Program

A recent ABC-TV Directions
program recalled the name of
Dr. A. M. Hershman as a scholar
who was linked with Responsa
Literature.
Rabbi Hershman was spiritual
leader of Cong. Shaarey Zedek
for more than 40 years. He au-
thored several books dealing
with Jewish literary subjects of
the Middle Ages. His sermons
also appeared in a volume pub-
lished several years before his
death.
The ABC program which
linked him with important
scholars who were interested in
Responsa Literature was en-
titled "Lovers of Righteous
Judgment."

Two of the world's outstanding scientists—Dr. Edward Teller
- (center) of. the United States and Dr. I. S. Shklovsky (right) of the
Soviet Union—were among hundreds of renowned astronomers and
physicists throughout the world at a major Yeshiva University spon-
sored symposiwn on space science in New York City. The sym-
posium was the source of disclosures about the greatest explosion
ever recorded by man, previously unknown characteristics of quasars
. and even included a sensational challenge to Albert Einstein's gen-
eral theory of relativity: With Drs. Teller and Shklovsky is Dr. Abe
Gelbart, dean of the Belfer Graduate School of Science of Yeshiva
University, a sponsor of the scientific event.

note in his newest book. It is a
novel, "The Carpenter Years," pub-

with, the rabbi—that's how the story
commences—who wanted him as
director of the YMCA to admit a
group of Jewish youngsters for

even yield easily to such a human
request! He did, later, but that was
when he learned that his abandoned
Jewish son was coming to apply
for a job in Langham.
That's where the drama is
tensest. The story is divided into
Friday and Saturday sections. On
Friday, when Edgar learned that
his son Daniel was arriving, he
went on a drunk. His Christian
family involvement revealed an
ugly character.
The next day, when Daniel ar-
rived, a party was given for him.
The fa-ther was invited. They met
and merely exchanged glances.
Then, as he was leaving the party
before it was over, Daniel an-
nounced he would not take the
job. The non-Jew who was in
charge of the offer threatened him.
There was a scene, but Daniel
knocked him down and left. What
a satisfaction that was for the
