British Arms Sale
to Israel Hushed Up
Ceremony for
New Moon
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1974, JTA, Inc.)
In the ceremony which
greets the new moon it is
customary for each of the
people to refer to their fellow
worshipper and bid him peace
by saying "Shalom Alei-
chein."
Some claim (Maharil) this
is becauge when one beholds
the new moon one beholds
the presence of God. At such
a happy meeting people bid
each other "peace," or more
accurately, wish each other
that the glory of God should
rest on each other. Actually,
the word "Shalom" is usually
translated "peace" happens
to represent one of the
names of the Almighty.
When we use it in a context
of "Shalom Aleichem" it is
tantamount to saying "May
God be with you." If the
presence of God appears with
the arrival of the new moon,
it is most fitting to wish each
other that His presence shine'
over each and every one.
A second reason is offered
by other sources saying that
the greeting of peace from
one worshipper to another is
used because it follows a
quotation from the Bible
which has just been recited
asking that the fright and
tremor of punishment be felt
by the evil nations. This has
been followed by the bidding
of peace so that each wor-
shipper turns to his _neighbor
saying in effect "that this
curse was not meant for you
—to you I wish peace."
A third explanation is offer-
ed by some authors who claim
that the bidding of peace
stems from the original rea-
son for which the moon is a
softer light, only appearing
at night. The moon, was
punished , because it had
claimed that there was no
need for the sun to be illumi-
nated since the moon could
shed enough light without the
sun because they were ori-
ginally of equal radiance.
This unwillingness to share
led to friction between the
moon and the sun. Thus the
moon was punished by hav-
ing its radiance reduced.
Seeing the arrival of the new
moon and remembering the
friction between the two
luminaries, Jews wish each
other peace and harmony
hoping that they will never
come to such a disparity.
LONDON ( J T A ) — The
British government refused
to confirm or deny a press
report that Britain is selling
Israel hundreds of Centurian
tanks to replace losses in
the Yom Kippur War.
A Whitehall spokesman said
it was not government policy
to discuss arms deals. Ac-
cording to the press report

were used by the British
army are now being shipped
