Dismissal of Danish Chief Rabbi
Stirs Community Controversy

COPENHAGEN (JTA) —
The Jewish community here
is split over the dismissal
last week of Chief Rabbi
Bent Melchoir, who was the
center of a controversy which
began after the Munich Mas-
sacre when he was criticized
by former community chair-
man, Prof. Isi Foigl for ask-
- ing the Danish government
to recall its ambassadors
from all Arab countries sup-
porting Palestine terrorists.
A special meeting of com-
munity delegates held here
several days ago refused to
renew Rabbi Melchoir's con•
tract which expires next
June.

Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore
•

Albert Einstein had an interesting session with Rabin-
dranath Tagore, the Indian mystic, in 1930. Tagore denied
in the conversation the famous men conducted that truth
or beauty was independent of man, whereupon Einstein
asked: "If there would be no human beings any more, the
Apollo of Belvedere would no longer be beautiful?" The
report on that meeting in Robert W. Clark's "Einstein: The
Life and Times." published by World, continues:
To Tagore's "No," Einstein noted that he agreed
"with regard to this conception of beauty, but not with
regard to truth," adding: "I cannot prove that my con-
ception is right, but that is my religion." The conver•
satlon, which ended with Einstein's exclamatory "Then
I am more religious than you are!", contained two state -
ments of dogmatic, it intuitive faith. "I cannot prove that
scientific truth must be conceived as a truth that is valid
independent of reality," he said, "but I believe it firmly.
I believe, for instance, that the Pythagorean theorem in
geometry states something that is approximately true, in.
dependent of the existence of man. Anyway, if there is
• reality independent of man, there is also a truth relative
to this reality; and in the same way the negation of the
first engenders a negation of the existence of the latter."
And later he continued: "Our natural noint of view in
regard to the existence of truth apart from humanity
cannot be explained or proved. But it is a belief which
nobody can lack—not primitive beings even. We attribute
to truth as superhuman objectivity, it is indispensable for
us, this reality which is independent of our existence and
our experience and our mind—though we cannot say what
it means."
Contemplation of first principles progressively occu•
pied Einstein's attention. One visitor, Dr. Chaim Tscher-
nowitz. has given a vivid account of a summer trip with
him on the Havelsee during which their discussions were
often metaphysical. "The conversation drifted back and
forth from profundities about the nature of God, the uni-
verse, and man to questions of a lighter and more viv•ci•
ous nature. . . . " he has written. "Suddenly (Einstein)
lifted his head, looked upward at the clear skies. And said:
'We know nothing about it all. All our knowl.-d. e is but
the knowledge of schoolchildren.' Do you
7 ricked.
'that we shall ever probe the secret" 'Pos•thly,' he said
with a movement of his shoulders, 'we shall know; a litUe
more than we do now. But the real nature of th:cgs that
we shall
know,
' " As Born (the noted scien-
tist Dr. Has Born) said of Einstein after his death,
"He knew, as did Socrates, that we know nothing."

Since the meeting, 1,600
community members have
signed a petition calling for
the rabbi's reinstatement.
Many delegates to the meet-

resignations.
In an interview in the daily,
"Extra Bladet," Rabbi Mel-
choir said he was "not at all
bitter" over the decision be-
cause he knew the majority
of the community was behind
him. He called the decision
"undemocratic" and said he
would now probably take a
post in an American or Brit-

Beth Jacob Gets
Abraham Sculpture
as Bar Mitzva Gift -
Temple Beth Jacob was

presented with a large alumi-
num sculpture, "Abraham,
Abraham," the gift of Mr.
and Mrs. John Mayer in
honor of their son David's
becoming Bar Mitzva.
The sculpture depicts the
testing of Abraham by the
Lord. It depicts Abraham
and Isaac amid turmoil and
clouds. Abraham listens to
God while Isaac stands in
front of his father, looking
up with love and trust. The
ram is shown caught in the
thicket.
Mr. and Mrs. Mayer chose
the subject because their son
read the scripture of Abra-
ham when he became Bar
Mitzva.
Sculptor Arthur Schneider
of Franklin has had shows
in Rome, Chicago, New York
and Detroit, He studied in
Athens and Milan and he
also teaches art at Cody
High School. His works are
being exhibited at Siden
Gallery.
Beth
Jacob has begun
celebration of its golden an-
niversary year.
