Planned for Israel

new transport service facili-
ties will be introduced to
streamline Israel's freight
handling infrastructure.

introduction of two major

significant advances in mod-

London Changes
Work Week Plan;
Relieves Orthodox
LONDON (JTA) — The
Board of Deputies of British
Jews welcomed the an-
nouncement by the govern-
ment that the three-day work
week in industry will hence-
forth be applied not by fixed
days for fixed zones but by
giving each factory an op-
portunity to choose which
three days in the week they
want to work.
A spokesman for the Board
said:
"This is of the greatest im-
portance to Jewish owners of
factories and workshops in
London and the London area,
and some other areas in the
country, where the working
days were Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, so that Ortho-
dox Jews could only work a
day-and-a-half.
"They will now be able to
work three full days without
being involved with Friday
afternoons and Saturdays.
The Board had made strenu-
ous efforts to alleviate the
original situation."
The new regulations are
also helpful to Seventh Day
Adventists, Moslems and
other groups.

by Clal, which noted that
transportation represented
one of the chief bottlenecks
plaguing Israeli industry dur-
ing the emergency.

director of Clal, predicted
Bridegroom's Role
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1974, JTA, Inc.)
It is customary in some
places for the bridegroom to
expound some treatise hav-
ing to do with Jewish law
before the procession takes
place to the nuptial canopy
(the hupa).
Some claim that this was
done so as not to lose sight
of the perennial Jewish com-
mitment to the study of
Torah. Even before the eve-
ning of celebration and
merrymaking begins with
the hupa, the bridegroom
sets the tone for the occa-
sion with some word of
Torah.
Others claim that this prac-
tice is reminiscent of the
Revelation of the Torah at
Mount Sinai. Many of the
customs of the wedding cere-
mony reflect the manner in
which the union between the
Almighty and his people Is-
rael took place at Sinai.
Having the bridegroom ex-
pound some Torah thought be-
fore the 'wedding indicates
that one is aware of the two
parallel unions on which the
future of the Jewish people
depends, ie., the union be-
tween the Almighty and His
people and the union between
husband and wife.
The bridegroom's remarks
are interrupted after the be-
ginning of his dissertation
and he therefore rarely fin-
ishes what he began to say.
Some contend that this is
done so as not to embarrass
a bridegroom who might not
be so learned. Heading him
off soon after he begins
avoids criticism by his peers
and superiors. Thus, all are
alike when they are mar-
ried — the more scholarly
and the less scholarly.
Others claim that since the
dissertation in the first place
is reminiscent of the Revela-
tion at Mount Sinai, the in-
terruption is made to repre-
sent the smashing of the
tablets at Sinai after they
were first given to Moses.
This is a symbolic lesson
to the new couple to have
them understand that even
if there is a failure to under-
stand each other at times,
they must always try again
to reconstruct and rebuild.

Olim Aid War,
Neglect Study
RAMIT AVIV — Olim at
the Bet Brodetzky absorption
center neglected their He-
brew homework during the
Yom Kippur War, but their
extra-curricular activities ab-
solved them from guilt.
Because most of the ulpan
teachers were mobilized dur-
ing the war, there was no
homework for the olim, and
they had to seek other means
of being absorbed into Is-
raeli life.
The 375 college -
olim aided the war effort by
packing parcels for soldiers
at the fronts, knitting nats
for them, manning the
switchboards and performing
maintenance and civil de-
fense duties.
The immigrants, most of
whom are from the Soviet
Union and South America,
raised IL 11,600 ($2,500) in
voluntary contributions for
war bonds.
Two Soviet immigrants
contributed a month's pocket
money which they received
from the Jewish Agency.
Others borrowed against the
future salaries of jobs they
had lined up for themselves
before the war.
