the noted Swiss playwright.

Let not the Arabs throw
sand into our eyes. Just as
they wanted to attack Israel
in 1967 but could not because
of the preemptive strike by
Israel, they have wanted to
attack Israel ever since,
with the difference that now
they are able to do so be-
cause they have turned into
better soldiers.
But we don't have to let
them sell us their lies only
because we need their oil. If
Israel had fully accepted the
UN resolution, the war would
have broken out nonetheless.
In such case, Israel's mili-
tary position would be des-
perate and it would be cool
comfort to realize that apart
from tremendous quantities
of blood, also more ink would
be spilt for Israel.
Tbis suspicion may appear
monstrous only to those who
have not yet discovered that
we are living in a monstrous
world in which there is noth-
ing more cynical than the
word peace .. .
"With these words, I place
myself squarely behind Is-
rael, for her sake and for the
L sake of all of us: For her
sake, because it is the right
and decent thing to do, for
our sake, lest we all of us be
silenced before long."

`The Martyr' Relates Biography
of Secret Jew, Mexico Inquisition

The Inquisition, generally
regarded as a phenomenon of
15th Century Spain, had fa-
natical strength that carried
its power far beyond that
time and place. The tentacles
of the Inquisition reached
even across the oceans and
into the far-off New World,
haven for those who suffered
religious persecution.
How the Inquisition operat-
ed in 16th Century Mexico,
how it affected the life of a
family of so-called New
Christians, and especially the
brief span of one Luis de
Carvajal the Younger is the
subject of a new biography,
"The Martyr," written by
Martin A. Cohen and pub-
lished by the Jewish Publica-
tion Society of America.
The "New Christians" of
that period, as distinguished
from the "Old Christians,"
were descendants of Catholic
converts who had forsaken
Judaism and Islam, but who
were considered inferior and
often looked upon as hypo-
crites.
The agents of the Inquisi-
tion, operating as religious
thought-police, kept the "New
Christians" under special
surveillance. Any relapse
could mean death at the
stake.
"The Martyr" is the story
of a secret Jew who met such
a fate.
Dr. Cohen is professor of

Jewish history at the Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Insti-
tute of Religion in New York
and an authority on the his-
tory of Judaism in Latin
America, Spain and Portugal.
This work is the product of
almost 20 years' research
into the history of the Car-
vajal family, particularly the
life of Luis the Younger who,
as a talented calligrapher,
left a series of documents,
memoirs and letters to throw
a sharp light on the events
of his brief career.
s
While the chronicle t
in detail the tragic destiny of
the Carvajal family, and the
individual fate of both the
younger Luis and the older
Don Luis de Carvajal y de la
Cueva, who became the gov-
ernor of the province of New
Kingdom of Leon, at the
same time it offers a pic-
ture of life in 16th Century
Mexico.
But the focus never leaves
the secret Jews of that place,
their faith in defiance of the
machinery of the Inquisition.
Deprived of adequate reli-
gious texts, forced to con-
duct their forbidden prac-
tices behind barred doors and
in hidden places, the major-
ity still clung to the laws of
Moses no matter how they
were threatened by the
agents, the machinery, the
tortures of the inquisitorial
office.

Why Sacrifices?

By RABBI SAMUEL FOX

(Copyright 1973, JTA, Inc.)

A number of reasons have
been offered why the Bible
requires sacrifices. Maimon-
ides considered the offering
of sacrifices a means of pre-
venting the worship of idols.
There is something inherent
in the nature of man which
leads him to make offerings.
If the Bible had not directed
man to sacrifice to the Al-
mighty he might have sacri-
ficed to idols like all others
did in those days.
Rabbi Samson Raphael
Hirsch considered the sacri-
fice of animals a symbol of
the requirement to subject
the animal instinct of man
to God's will. Man is com-
posed of part animal drives,
and passion. Following the
rules of the Torah requires
sacrificing man's desires to
God's will.
Others have pointed out
that the Hebrew word for
sacrifice (korban) means
nearness. Therefore, the ob-
jective of sacrifice is to
draw man close to God. We
are always willing to make
sacrifices for those to whom
we feel close. Sometimes this
willingness to sacrifice is a
means of demonstrating our
love. Sometimes this instinct
to sacrifice is a means of
making atonement for those
misgivings that have drawn
us apart.
