The Joint Distribution Committee may receive up to $1,000,000
in excess machinery and equipment from the U.S. government for
use in developing countries, according to an agreement signed last
week by Herbert J. Waters, assistant administrator for Material
Resources of the Agency for International Development (AID),
(right) and Charles H. Jordan, JDC executive vice chairman. The
agreement provides that JDC will use the equipment in its relief,
rehabilitation and technical assistance work in four developing
countries—Morocco, Tunisia, Iran and Israel. Use of the excess
property in those countries has been approved by AID's Voluntary
Foreign Aid Service (in accordance with requirements established
by the Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid.)
One day, at the close of the fig
harvest, Rabbi Tarfon was walk-
ing in a garden, and he ate some
figs which had been left behind.
The custodians of the garden came
up, caught him, and began to beat
him unmercifully. Then Tarfon
called out, and said who he was,
whereupon they let him go. Yet all
his days did he grieve, saying,
"Woe is me, for I have used the
crown of the Law for my own
profit." For the teaching ran: "A
man must not say, I will study
so as to be called a wise man, or
rabbi, or an elder, or to have a
seat in the college, but he must
study from love. The honor will
come of itself." — Nedarim, 62a.
