It is customary for the housewife to sort of wave her hands back and forth when lighting the Sab- bath candles. Generally speaking, lighting the Sabbath candles presents a problem in Jewish observance. Traditionally, Jewish law requires a benediction to be made before performing a mitzva. Thus, one would be required to offer the benediction before lighting the candles. However, reciting. the benediction might be considered as already accepting the Sabbath and thus the candles could not be lit after the benediction since candle lighting is a violation of the Sabbath. Thus, the candles are lit first and the light is shielded from the housewife's eyes so that she can pronounce the benediction and then gaze upon the candles, the latter being an act following the benediction. The question is: how is she to shield the light from her vision' Some say she should cover her eyes. Others say she should hold her hands over the candles shielding them from vision. As is often the case in such con- troversies, both acts are done. Thus, she covers the candles with her hand and then covers her eyes with her hands. In order to do both of these consecutively, her hands would have to be going back 'and forth and would appear as if they were waving. What is the proper posture when reciting the Kidush on Friday night: standing or sitting? :* There seems to be two varying i* opinions. Some stand, while others sit. Those who sit do so because the Kidush is related to the meal and things that are related to the meal are done in the sitting posi- tion. Thus, should the Kidush be recited in a standing position the Kidush would not be related to the meal. Some of the mystics dis- agreed with this because they con- sidered the Kidush as a form of greeting to the Sabbath queen or the Sabbath bride. A queen, na- turally, should be greeted by standing in respect to her. The blessings that are chanted in front of the bride at the wedding cere- mony are also chanted in the same position. The junction of the Jew and the Sabbath is like the union of the groom anti the bride under the wedding canopy. The Kidush is thus like the benedictions chanted under the canopy which are done in a standing position.

OUR NEW UNIT AT "OLD ORCHARD" SHOULD BE OPEN ABOUT AUG. 25 plulic:ToN SHOP By MAXIM GORKY • In my early youth I read—I have forgotten where—the words of .the ancient Jewish sage—Hillel, if I remember rightly: "If thou are not for thyself, who will he for thee? But if thou art for thyself alone, wherefore art thou'" The inner meaning of these words impressed me with its pro- found wisdom, and I interpreted them for myself in this manner: I must actively take care of myself, that my life should be better, and I I must not impose the care of my- self alone, of nothing but my own personal life, it will be useless, ugly, meaningless. This thought ate its way deep into my soul, and I say now with conviction: "Hillel's wisdom served as a strong staff on my road, which was neither even nor easy. I believe that Jewish wisdom is more all-human and universeal than any other; and this not only because of its immemorial age, not only because it is the first born, but also because of the pow- erful humaneness that saturates it because of its high estimate of man.

I Love looks through a telescope: envy, through a microscope.- -Josh Billings . MIZRACHI TOURS TO Officials also reported that be- I cause output of the plant is ab- sorbed almost immediately by the local market, the management of ' Koor, the giant Histadrut industrial operation which owns Steel City, said it- would have to place im- mediate and urgent orders for steel from abroad to fill the gap. ISRAEL JOIN OUR TRIPS FOR THE HIGH HOLIDAYS LIMITED NUMBER OF SEATS STILL AVAILABLE High Holiday 27 Days Koor officials said the strike was sparked by a management proposal for changes in shifts de- ' signed to boost Steel City pro- ductivity as part of a massive IL 54,000,000 ($12,960,000) expan • sion of the steel-making facilities. Steel City currently produces , 1,200 tons monthly, the officials said Earlier, Herut Party leader Menahem Begin accused Hista- drut Secretary General Yitzhak Ben-Aharon again of inciting "class warfare" and "social revolution." Begin, whose Herut Party is the dominant voice In the Gahal fac- tion, declared in a television inter- view that there was no room in Israel for actions like those of Ben Aharon, who, he said, posed a threat to the development of the country's economy. Begin added that he did not put the responsibility for the current strike wave on Ben Aharon, who has been outspoken in the workers' behalf, but he did say that the Histadrut chief had the power to hold back the economy and dis- courage investors.
