Prayer is not, as some think, the
invention of religious leaders. It
preceded prophets and priests, tem-
ples and houses of prayer. Prayer
is essential the product of man's
yearning for the most intimate of
all human communications, for the
opportunity to open his heart and
his mind in adoration and supplica-
tion to the divine presence. This
longing to pour out one's heart be-
fore God is natural and even nec-
essary, provided one believes that
there is a God who created the uni-
verse and is concerned with man,
the crown of His creation. The
roots of this yearning are to be
found in man's sense of insuffici-
ency, especially in time of stress,
and in his desire to liberate him-
self from the burden of sin and
the enslavement to evil.
Prayer is also born of man's
sense of wonder, from his aware-
ness of God's marvelous creation
and the miracles that daily bear
witness to God's goodness and love.
One of the introductory benedic-
tions of the daily morning service
describes the marvel of the human
body and its normal functions, and
it concludes with the benediction
"Praised art Thou, 0 Lord, wno
healest all flesh and doest wonder-
fully."
Born in Pittsburgh. the son of
Max and Annie Levant, he quit
school at age 15 and turned to
music for a living. Ile studied un-
der Sigismund Stojowski and Ar-
nod Schoenberg. Among the movies
in which he acted was "Rhapsody
in Blue." the story of George
Gershwin's life, in which Levant
played himself.

more often than not comes up with
faded and even biased definitions

confusion. Before launching on a
discussion of the Sidur, one must
of necessity clarify the essential
meaning of prayer and more speci-
fically the Jewish concept of wor-

Alvarez' Scholarly
In his "Study of Suicide," in the
intriguing volume "The Savage
God," published by Random
House, the noted author, A. Alva-
rez, makes these interesting ob-
servations:
"The figures are higher in the
wealthy industrialized countries
than in the underdeveloped, high-
er among the comfortable profes-
sional middle classes than among
the poor; they were extraordinarily
low in the Nazi concentration
camps."
Alvarez draws extensively upon
Freud. He quotes him: "Life loses
in interest, when the highest stake
in the game of living, life itself,
may not be risked."
The experiences of many au-
thors, their interpretations, the
many incidents of suicide among
people of eminence, are drawn up-
on for a definition of the subject
and evaluation of this study.
Turning to extremes, Alvarez
refers to the "hundreds of Jews
(who) put themselves to death at
Masada rather than submit to the
Roman legions."
The author draws extensively
upon the writings of Boris Paster.
nak, the Russian Nobel Prize win-
ner, and he quotes from Paternak's
tribute to Ossip Mandelstam and
Isaak Babel who disappeared in
the Russian purges.
Linked with the personal view
of suicide and extensive experi-
ences in literary circles, the Alva-
rez study is a fascinating outline
of a most serious subject. espe-
cially' in this age in which the
growth of suicides is constantly
