Gen. Mgr, 4. J. UNDENFELD, CAPULCO 10 Years Ago This Week: .1961 The Moscow newspaper Trud rejected charges of Soviet anti- Semitism as "quite absurd." Rep.

West Germany was investigating charges of Nazism against Adenauer aide Dr. Hans Globke. Moroccan Jews were barred from adopting first names not men- tioned in the Old Testament. Police arrested Jews wearing blue-and- white yarmulkes and a man with a white shirt and blue tie. • 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.
