The Moscow newspaper Trud rejected charges of Soviet anti-

Moroccan Jews were barred from adopting first names not men-
tioned in the Old Testament. Police arrested Jews wearing blue-and-

The Anti-Defamation League said that despite ."marked improve-
ment," most U.S. textbooks "fail to present a varied, true-to-life
picture of Jews in America"; three-quarters of them "minimize"
Nazism and one-third "omit the topic entirely." The text-publishers'
chief agreed. The ADL also said there was a "marked decline" in
religious discrimination by medical schools.

Weekly Quiz
Why de the Itehanhe eosin up
to the platfeent to reeks the
priestly IblessIngs only • holi-
days?
This is our practice in the
Diaspora. However, in Israel
many congregations have the Ko-
hanim recite this every day. One
of the reasons for this practice of
ours is given by Rabbi Moses
bowies wbo claims that the Jew-
ish tradition requires a - Joyous
heart and a genuine spirit of love
on the part of the Kohanim when
they pronounce the blessing. Be-
cause of the various pressures in
the daily lives in the Diaspora,
the priestly benediction is only
offered on the holidays when there
is a inirft of real joy which per-
vades the atmosphere. In Israel,
however, the Holy Land itself
fills the worshiper with joy and
so the blessings are in order every
day.

Why are the priestly blessings
BY RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright imam Inc.)
only recited in the inendng and
net in the affirms?
The priestly blessings require a
certain sense of purity and sta-
bility on the part of the priests
wbo offer the blessings. This is
possible in the morning before
one goes about his daily aetivity
and before one has indulged in
food and drink. Alter one has be-
gun his daily activities and in-
dulged in food and drink' be may
not be in perfect shape to pro-
nounce the blessings because be
might have over-indulged. For
this reason, on the fast day when
one refrains from food and drink
and from most of his activities,
the blessing is pronounced in the
afternoon. In the house of mourn-
ing, since the spirit of joy is ab-
sent, the priestly blessings are
eliminated altogether. We thus see
that the -blessings require both a
loving sense of joy and a spiritual
sense of purity, in order to be
thoroughly effective and proper.
