Examining, Kissin g Fringes of Talit

By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
It is customary to examine the
fringes of the prayer shawl (Ta-
lit) before pronouncing the
benediction.
The benediction which is pro-

nounced upon putting on the prayer
shawl is only in order if the
fringes are complete and whole.
Otherwise, the benediction is one
which would have been uttered in
vain and it is strictly forbidden to
pronounce benediction in vain be-
cause this would be like taking the
name of God in vain. Thus, if one
examines the fringes beforehand
he will be sure the benediction he
is pronouncing is being chanted
over a usable prayer shawl and
not in vain.

It is customary to take the
fringes in the left hand when re-
citing the Shema.
Some explain that this is done
because the left hand is one nearer

the

heart and the Shema contatins
a commandment saying "and these
words which I command thee this
day shall be in thine heart" (Deut-
eronomy 6:6). It is also a custom

to look at the fringes when recit-
ing the portion of the Shema
which reads "and ye shall see
them" (Numbers 15-39). There

are

some who claim that he who
Concentrates on the two fringes

which come over the front of the
person is gazing upon their 10
knots which correspond to the 10
I elements of the Kabbala, and that
he almost beholds the presence of
the Almighty because the 10 knots
in addition to the 16 strands which
come out in front of him add up
to 26 which is the mathematical
equivalent of the holy name of the
Almighty.

its annual suka, large enough to
hold at least 150 at a kiddush.

Window walls will look out on
a view of pond, winding stream
and wooded hill. The beauty of
the site has been adopted as the
principal decorative element of
the new synagogue, King said.

Color renderings of the new
building will be shown at the
ground breaking, at which a brief
ceremony will pay tribute to living
and deceased officers and trustees.
A kiddush will be served.
Building committee co-chairmen
Nathan Goldin and Samuel Hecht-
man said the 80,000-square-foot
structure will have two levels with-
out a basement and without costly
excavation. The lower stage, hous-
ing the library and religious school
classrooms, will be at ground level.
The upper stage, placed higher up
the hill, will be only a few steps
up from ground. There also will be
a ramp entrance for the conveni-
ence of those requiring it.
When all facilities are in use,
the new Adas Shalom will hold up
to 3,500 members. The main sanc-
tuary will provide permanent seat-
ing for 1,000 for normal Sabbath
services. This will be enlarged to
1,400 for the High Holy Days and I
other special activities.

The social hall seating 1,600
will share a common lobby and
other facilities with the main
sanctuary. When used for the
High Holy Days, it will be identi-
cal in decor of ark and bima
with the main sanctuary.

Adas Shalom, founded in 1944 by
a group of families living on De-
troit's Northwest side, was origi-
nally known as Northwest Hebrew
Congregation. There were then al-
most no synagogues in the area.
When Rabbi Jacob E. Segal was
appointed Adas Shalom's first
spiritual leader in 1946, the con-
gregation still met for services in
the Bagley public school.
Today, some 75 per cent of Adas
Shalom members live in or near
the area of the new site. The re-
ligious school for the past two
years has been conducted at Fair-
view School, less than a mile from
the new site.
Even after the new building is
completed, it is planned that Adas
Shalom will continue to serve its
members who remain in the city
by maintaining an "in-town" fa-
cility and providing a rabbi and
cantor for Sabbath and festival
services.

Blind Learn to 'See'
Their Way Througl
Daily Life in New York

Some actually kiss the fringes
NEW YORK—Here, where daily
' in certain parts of the Shema.
Some claim that this is a meas- living is a jangle of sounds and

ure of showing one's intense devo-
tion to the commandments of the
Almighty. The fringes are especial-
ly kissed when mention is made
that the Almighty and His word
are eternal—perhaps as a measure
of showing indomitable faith in His
eternity. Others claim that the
words expressing the eternity of
the Almighty are equivalent to ex-
pressions of blessings to the Al-
mighty which are found in the
Bible and that some of these ex-
pressions have the same mathe-
matical equivalent as the word
Tzitzit, which is Hebrew for
fringes. This is a means of demon-
strating that the faith in the Al-
mighty is an empty faith unless
we are loyal to and observe His
commandments which are sym-
bolized by the fringes.

sensations, the unknown can be
terrifying to a blind person. Even
at home, his "castle" is filled with
unseen dangers and frustrations.
Thanks to the Jewish Guild for
the Blind, Broadway at 62nd St.,
the sightless can learn to cope with
the everyday occurrences so com-
monplace to those with vision.
In a model apartment on the
second floor of the guild building,
the blind learn to cook meals with-
out burning themselves, to select
clothes without mixing colors, to
make a neat bed, to pour the right
amount of milk.
The homemaking course is taught
primarily to women, but also to
men who live alone. Also children
over age 8 are made to under-
stand the myriad things that are
done for them but are never seen.
