HUC Prof. Undertakes
Study of Hebrew in
Modern Israeli Usage

NEW YORK—Dr. Werner Wein-
berg, associate professor of lie-
brew language and literature at
the Cincinnati School of Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of
Religion, is in Israel for a nine-
month stay doing research on the
relationship between the grammar'
of the Bible and the Hebrew
spoken by modern Israelis. 1
"A language is an organic part
of human existence, prone to con-
stant change, just like anything
else," said Dr. Weinberg. "Today's
mistake may become tomorrow's
grammar. However, speakers of a;
language often are self-conscious
about mistakes and bad grammar.
This is especially true of Israelis.
Israeli Hebrew has telescoped an
organic development of many cen-
turies into a few generations. He-
brew is today a perfectly modern
language; yet the children in school
still are taught the grammar of
the ancient biblical style. This is
a make-believe world; guilt feel-
ings about 'profaning the holy
tongue' may have to do with it."
To undertake this grammatical
investigation Dr. Weinberg was
given a Fulbright Faculty Re-
search/Study Fellowship.

"While there has been a new
and growing emphasis in the con-
temporary North American Jewish
community upon a more intensive
elementary education, very few
Jewish college graduates can boast
of having received a higher Jew-
ish education.
"The fact that North American
Jews will soon comprise a commu-
nity consisting almost completely
of college graduates poses threats
to our creative survival as a vital
cultural group that are perhaps
even more dangerous than any
which anti-Semitism might put in
our path.
"This is why I place the higher
priority on making our College of
Jewish Studies into a meaningful
and exciting centre of Jewish
thought and fellowship for our
young people."

S. Africa Election Date
Conflicts With Passover

JOHANNESBURG (JTA)—South

African Jews have apparently
failed to persuade the government
to change the April 22, 1970 na-
tional election date because it con-
flicts with the observance of Pass-
over.
The South African Jewish Board
of Deputies and the local rabbinate
have appealed to Premier John
Vorster on grounds that the con-
flict will affect Jewish voters, can-
didates and election workers.
Vorster has explained that the
date was set without knowledge of
the Jewish calendar and expressed
regrets.
He invited Chief Rabbi Bernard
Casper and Dr. Teddy Schneider,
president of the Board of Deputies,
to meet with him in Pretoria. The
two Jewish leaders issued a state-
ment after the meeting. They said,
"The prime minister again assured
us that the selection of April 22

was due to an oversight. The
prime minister acknowledged the
difficulties which would, as a re-
sult, confront the Jewish com-
munity. It is regretted that in
spite of these considerations, the

prime minister explained that for
reasons he held to be important,

he was unable now to change the
date.
