SAM DAN Mr. & Mrs. Hyman Greenbaum wish all their relatives and friends a happy, healthy New Year A Happy, Healthy New Year To All Jewish tradition requires that a person set aside a place in the synagogue or at home where he will regu- larly pray. The Talmud (Berakot 6b) traces this practice to Abra- ham who set aside a special place where he offered his prayers. A number of rea- sons are offered to explain this requirement. First, it is maintained that a regular location will promote better Happy New ) ear to all our relatives and friends My Relatives Mr. and Mrs. PHILIP KATZ and Friends Shoshana Fealk and Family 21830 Coolidge Oak Park N.

There are also some who claim that this is done be- cause prayer represents the ritual sacrifice of the lambs which were sacrificed daily in the temple of old. Just as these sacrifices could only be made on a permanently assigned altar so do the prayers which represent them require an established place for prayer. A third opinion is that setting aside a place for prayer estab- lishes that place as a holy place. It therefore becomes the place where finite man meets his infinite creator, the Holy One, God Almighty. activity instead of being a Some Jews insist on chant- boring g dut y that one wishes ing their prayers (i.e., the main body of prayer — the Best Wishes To All Shmoneh E s r e h) directly Our Relatives and facing a blank wall.

MAX SPOON the most dis- tracting vision to a person's concentration is the vision of his own self. Even if • he holds his eyes closed during prayer, the rabbis were afraid that he might open them accidental- ly and gaze upon himself or at anyone else around him in the mirror. There is yet another aspect to this pro- hibition. As a rule, Jewish tradition forbids praying in front of any images, since it might appear that the prayers were directed to the finite image instead of to the infinite God. Since the mirror presents an image it is logi- cally prohibited to pray in front of a mirror. New Year Best Wishes To All Our Friends and Relatives MR. & MRS. PAUL L.

Mr. & Mrs. David Mills fl TEL AVIV (JTA) — U.S. Ambassador Kenneth Keating said here that the U.S. places high value on the Israeli market which has imported from America as much as Israel's four Arab neighbors combined and as much as a large nation like India. Lately, however, Israel's purchases from the U.S. have been dwindling, Keating said at a luncheon of the Israel- American Chamber of Com- merce. "Israel should not think of America only as a supplier of Phantoms, Skyhawks and tanks" but also as a source of commodities and material, he said. His remarks were related to the forthcoming "Technol- ogy-73" exhibit on the Tel Aviv Fair Grounds where the U.S. will display new indus- trial machinery for the bene- fit of Israeli customers.
