Why is it a custom for tradi-
tional Jews to sway back and
forth during prayer?
A number of reasons are advanc-_
ed for this practice. Judah Halevi
(Cuzari 2:80) has a practical ex-
planation to offer. He claims that
this came about in ancient times
when there was a shortage of pray-
er books and a number of people
would have to look on with each
other into one prayer book. This
being the case, each would bend
down to look at the text and swing
back to allow the next one to look.
This gave the impression of back-
ward and forward movements. An-
other practical explanation is offer-
ed by the famous Rashi (Berakot
62:A) to the effect that in ancient
times physical movements were
employed while reading the Tora
to accentuate the different musical
notes.
There are some who advance a
More philosophic explanation. In
Midrashic% literature (Yalkut-Psa-
Ims 35:10) we find reference to the
fact that a variety of human or-
gans are mentioned in the Psalms
as participating in the offering of
service to the Almighty. This is
used to show that many organs of
the human body should be involved
in worshipping God, as the Psalm-
ist says, "All my limbs (bones)
shall say, 'Lord, who is like unto
Thee"' (Psalms 35:10). The well-
known Baal Shem Tov, the foun-
der of the Hasidic movement, ex-
plains that swaying the body dur-
ing prayer reminds one of a man
who is drowning and, therefore,
waving his arms and even his
whole body in order to save him-
self. Indeed, more feeling is gen-
erated in prayer by bodily gestures
than would be in a perfectly mo-
tionless position. ThOse that con-
sider prayer as a substitute for
sacrifice like to say that man is
actually offering himself as a
sacrifice during prayer by rever-
berating throughout his body.

Lasch's 'Agony of American Left'
Views Its Shortcomings and Pitfalls

Christopher Lasch holds the view American Negroes as an ethnic
that the American Left is a mar- group should properly include a
ginal force, that its sectarianism study of the role of other national-
weakens it. In "The Agony of the ist ideologies, like Zionism or Irish-
American Left," published by American nationalism, in order to
discover whether they played any
Knopf, Lasch concludes:
"The experience of the New important part in the successful
Left refutes one of its principal efforts of those communities to
tenets, that a revolutionary organize themselves."
As a current commentary on
movement has no need of theory
because theory will spring spon- important issues and the role of
the
New Left, Lasch's "The Agony

taneously out of the daily
gles of the movement. Struggle of the American Left" is a most

during prayer in the traditional

house of worship?
Some authorities point out that
this was an ancient method of
prayer and thank4.-iiving among
the people of Israel. They point to
the fact that the 'song of thanks-
giving that was offered after cross-
ing the sea was offered separately
by the menfolk and womenfolk
(Exodus 15:1-21), The Talmud
(Midot 2:5) mentions a "women's
section" in describing the inner
chambers of the Temple of old. It
also indicates-that the women sat
above and the'"'men sat below (Suk-
ka 5:15b).
Basically, many have advanced
the explanation that prayer needs
absolute concentration and un-
divided attention in order to make
it as intensive as possible. Religi-
ous authorities have long ago rec-
ognized the facts of nature through
which the Almighty has endowed
the opposite sex with a certain de-
gree of attraction which essential-
ly leads to love and compassion.
During prayer man has to feel
completely dedicated to the Al-
mighty without any consideration
for human attractions. Further-
more, man in prayer ideally should
feel lonely and desolate without
God, reaching for hope and salva-
tion only through the companion-
ship of God.

The community, and their special

He continues to state here taut
in spite of the decline of overt

He makes the additional com-

white counterparts not only as col-
leagueg but as patrons. Hence the

characteristic of American Marx-
