Overcoming Blasphemy
Friday, Nov. 16, 1973-17
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Rabbi Abba said in the
name of Rabbi Alexandri:
He who hears himself cursed,
and is able to stop the curs-
er, yet remains silent, he
makes himself a partner
with God. Does not God hear
how the nations blaspheme
Him, yet remain silent? —
Midrash Tehillim.

JEWISH BOOK MONTH: Much has been written about
the increasing number of credit courses in Judaica given
in more than 350 colleges and universities in this country
and about the Free Jewish Universities.
But what about giving proper credit also to Jewic'
publishing enterprises which stimulate interest in Je'. ;
knowledge by producing year-in, year-out, basic books in
the field of Jewish knowledge?
Jewish Book Month, set this year for Nov. 16-Dec. 16
by the Jewish Book Council of the National Jewish Welfare
Board, offers the opportunity to pay due tribute to these
bearers of Jewish culture. Many of the excellent books
published by the Jewish Publication Society, Schocken
Books, Union of American Hebrew Congregations, Herzl
Press, and others.

JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY: The Jewish Publi-
cation Society, now 85 years old, is a household word in the
American Jewish community. During the 85 years of its
continued service to the reading public it has published
about 8,000,000 volumes, divided among 800 titles. It has
reached tens of thousands of Jewish families with books in
all fields of Jewish knowledge.
Actually, the Philadelphia-based Jewish Publication
Society is older than 85 years. It was founded by a Phila-
delphia rabbi, Isaac Lesser, in 1845. A disastrous fire in 1851
forced its dissolution after the first 15 books were issued;
24 years later a second Jewish Publication Society wao ,orga-
nized in New York City by the Board of Delegates of the
American Israelites. It lasted only three years. The society
was reestablished in its present form in 1888.

THE SCHOCKEN BOOKS: Schocken Books—a private
concern—is a veritable "Jewish University" in the selection
of the volumes it publishes. There is no field of Jewish
knowledge on which the firm has not published one or more
books of high caliber.
The more than 150 books of Judaica listed in the firm's
catalogue of this year—some in hard cover,-some as paper-
backs of special quality—constitute an impressive library.
One can find among its books not only works on such
subjects as Kabala and Jewish Mysticism, or on the vari-
ous Jewish philosophies, or on Jewish history, ancient and.
modern—including a documentary history- of the Jews in
the United States—but also books on the Jewish Khazars,
on Byzantine Jewry, on the shtetl in Eastern Europe, on
the Bene Israel of Bombay, on the Black Jews of Harlem,
and even a Falasha anthology. There are also two books of
Yiddish proverbs and stories transliterated in Roman alpha-
bet for those who cannot read Yiddish.
Of other publishers of Hebrew_ books, high praise must
be given to the Union of American Hebrew Congregations for
its publication of a volume of "Selected Poems by Chaim
Nachman Bialik," the Jewish national poet whose 100th an-
niversary of his birth is this year celebrated by Jews in the
entire free world. The book carries texts in English and in
Hebrew the translation from Hebrew into English excel-
lently done by the late Maurice Samuel, before he died in
New York last year.

"My husband's
a"perked coffee" Mayvin.
He insists on Maxim:"

Maxim tastes like
perked coffee because
Maxim starts with fresh
perked coffee. Then it's
freeze-dried into big dark
chunks—chunks of real
perked coffee. That's
Maxim. Fantastic flavor
by the cup or the potful.

September guerrillas arrest-

for plotting rocket attacks on
the airport here were freed,

cease activities in that coun-

The release may be ex-
