years that Jews worshipped there
without restrictions which had
been imposed on them by the
Roman, Arab. Turkish and British
masters of the holy site down
through the centuries.
Tens of thousands of Israeli Jews

pilgrimage to the Temple during

Israeli army engineers Tuesday
completed the job of leveling and
building an access road over which
the thousands of Jews crossed from
Mount Zion through the Old City
to the Wall. Only pedestrians were
allowed in the area for the holiday.
While work was nearing com-

the Old City from which sporadic
firing was still being carried out.

GOLDA MEIR RALLY
On Wise Men
and Fools: Wisdom
From Gemara
TONIGHT, JUNE 16-8:30 P.M.
at Temple Israel
Rabbi Johanan said: The Holy
One, blessed be He, gives wisdom
only to him who has wisdom.
— Berakot, 55a.
The Kobles Ponim for
Chaver and Chavera M. Goldoftas scheduled for
tonight will take place at a later date.
Once a Roman lady put this
question to Rabbi Jose ben Ha-
lafta: "Is it a fact that all God's
praise consists in his 'giving wis-
dom to the wise?' It should rather
be by giving wisdom to fools"'
Jose said to her, "Have you any
jewels?"
She answered, "Certainly."
"If someone comes and wishes
to borrow them, will you lend
them to him?"
She said, "Yes, I will, if he is
a man of responsibility."
"Then," said Jose, "you will not
lend your jewels save to•a worthy
borrower, and shall God give his
wisdom to fools?" — Ibid.

In what does reverence for a
father consist? In not sitting in his
presence, and in not speaking in
his presence, and in not contradict-
ing him. Of what does honor for
parents consist? In providing for
them food and drink, in clothing
them, in giving them shoes for
their feet, in helping them to enter
or leave the house (or, possibly,
to spend and to earn). Rabbi Elie-
zer said: Even if his father order
him to throw a purse of gold into
the sea, the son should obey him.

"What is wrong with the groom?"
asked the rabbi.
"He can't play cards."
"What?" cried the rabbi. "Would
to God that not a one of our young
men could play cards."
"True," said the unhappy father.
"But this one does."
