Biblical Prophetism Defined by 15rof. Neher
Mallegg pepiletion with empha-
sis ea edginal terms, without re-
lingolehleg "a formulation in gen-
eral tense is the objective of "a
new analysis of the the Prophets
of the Old Testament" by Prof.
Andre Ne.her of the University of
Strabturg.
MU:Wed "The Prophetic Exist-
once," published by Thomas Yose-
loff in a translation from the
French by William Wolf, this vol-
ume uses the terms Nevi and or
aim& for prophet and prophecy,
respectively, as the author points
out, "since the Bible and in the
thinking of Biblical man—i.e., in
Jewish thinking—the original terms
designate persons and notions
whose irreducible essence this book
wishes to point out, although it can-
not be denied that those terms are
somehow related to the general
phenomenon of prophetism."
Prof. Nelser delineates pro-
phecy as a way of life and deals
extensively with the theme of the
Hebrew setting of prophecy.
The roach— the spirit— of the
godly is emphasized in his defini-
tion of the dialogue between man
and God and he notes how through
the spirit and The davar—the word
—in such resort to dialogue empha-
sizes how "God and man meet in
the Covenant."
"The Prophetic Existence" in
these dialogues assumes interest in
Prof. Neher's definition of new re-
lationships discovered by the pro-
phets. He asserts:
"The vision of the prophets is not
just a parable. It is not an account
made of elements whose meaning
is clear but is an understanding of
meaning. If we were to bold on
to the musical metaphor we would
say that on the elementary instru-
ment the parable plays, and the
vision deciphers. The unveiled
'cipher' may differ from the known
meaning—the main thing is that it
is right. The vision includes thus a
variety of meanings, and for this
reason it is surprising. The note
one hears is not the expected one.
It is different from, and sometimes
contrary to, the one that has re-
sounded so often when one looked
forward to the precise touch on the
instrument.. There are changes and
paradoxes in the vision; the bar-

on his return from the
ference in Geneva and a tour of
Great Britain. He had here a num-
ber of interesting contacts with
Italian and Jewish personalities
and the opportunity to mark the
publication of a new book, "The
Left and the Jewish Question,"
written by a young Communist,
Luciano Ascoli. The book deviates
from the dull, stereotyped, obsti-
nate anti-Israelism of the Italian
Communist party, especially the
ridiculous equation that "Zionism
is equal to imperialism, colonial-
ism, capitalism.'

Against the image of Israel as
a colonialist, imperialist state in
the service of reactionary powers,
Khamis told an astonished and
partly, of course, unbelieving pub-
lic about social achievements in
Israel — -the Kupat Cholim 4.the
workers' rest homes), the equality
of wages for Arab and Israeli
workers (though the former from
the occupied territories are not
members of the Histadrut.)
He related that during the re-
cent Geneva conference he had
"bad" and "good" meetings with
the Arab delegates from Arab
countries. At the first, when, dur-
ing the debate on increasing the
minimum of "paid holidays," he
pointed - to Israel's achievement in
this field, he was violently at-
tacked by the Arab delegates for
"praising" Israel. The better
moment came when an Arab
workers' delegate approached him
after a meeting where all Arab
delegates — governments', work-
ers', employers' -- voted for "po-
litical" reasons in favor of Spain
which had been accused of non-
fulfillment of an international con-
vention for trade union freedom.
That Arab complained to Kha-
mis that he had been compelled
to vote so, but he assured him
that Arab workers in Arab coun-
tries are becoming more and more
conscious that what their govern-
ments fear most in Israel is the
"bad" influence it spreads by its
social achievements.
Khamis, on the contrary, is con-
vinced that the economic and so-
cial development of the Arab work-
ing class will be an important
factor toward peace in the Mid
East. Unfortunately, the Arabs in
Palestine have -always had bad

ticized the so-called "leftist"
Palestine leaders who preach de-
struction of Great Britain,- France
and the USA as a preliminary to
the destruction of Israel. "Is this

asked.
In this and other contacts Kha-
mis made an excellent impression
on his counterparts.
