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.

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.
