General- Sharon Rejoins Israel Army
JERUSALEM (ZINS)—Tlre
chief of staff of the Israeli
Defense Forces has now ac-
cepted General Ariel Sharon's
request for return to active
military duty, according to
informed sources.
Sharon's reinstatement to
active military duty is condi-
tioned upon his resignation
from the Knesset and his di-
vesting himself of all politi-
cal activity. It is reported
that Sharon will take over
active command of a tank
division.
The Torah is likened to
salt, the Mishna to peppers,

The Torah is likened to

wine. —Soferim, 14a
On God
The elders in Rome were
asked, "If your God takes no
pleasure in the worship of
idols, why does He not de-
stroy them?"
They replied, "If men had
worshipped the things • which
the world does not need, He
would certainly have de-
stroyed them. But they wor-
ship the sun, moon, stars and
planets. Is He to destroy His
world because of the fools?"
The questioners replied,
"Then He ought at least to
destroy the things which the
world does not need, and
leave the others."
The elders said, "Then the
worshipers of the stars, sun,
and moon would be streng-
thened in their idolatry, for
they would say, 'Behold,

Friday, Nov. 29, 1974-17 for they have not been de-
less, himself a great artist
endowed with the artist's true
spirit. His art, however, like
that of his Egyptian country-
men was directed to the col-
ossal and indestructible. But
he did not, like the Egyp-
tians, mold his masterpieces
out of brick and granite,
rather did he build human
pyramids. He carved human
obelisks. He took a poor
shepherd tribe and out of it
created a people, that even
like the pyramids defies the
centuries, an eternal, holy
people, God's people, that
might serve as model to all
other peoples, indeed, as the
prototype of humanity; he
created Israel! . . . The writ-
er of these pages might well
be proud that his ancestors
belong to the noble house of
Israel, that he is a descend-
ant of those martyrs who
gave the world a God and an
ethic, who struggled and suf-
fered on all the battlefields
of ideas.—Heinrich Heine, in
"Confessions."
I did not particularly like
Moses at first, I suppose, be-
cause I was under the com-
plete sway of the Hellenic
spirit and could not forgive
the Jewish lawgiver his
hatred of all Imagery and
Let him seek no honor plastic art. I did not realize
through the disgrace of his- that Moses in spite of his en-
mity for art was, neverthe-
neighbor.—Talmud.

The Kobriner commented
upon Psalm 10:10: "He
croucheth, he boweth down,
and the helpless fall into his
mighty claws." In explana-
tion he told the following fa-
ble:
"An old mouse sent out her
son to search for food, but
warned him to be -careful of
the enemy. The young mouse
met a‘ rooster and hastened
back to his mother in great
terror. He described the en-
emy as a haughty being with
an upstanding red comb. 'He
is no enemy of ours,' said the
old mouse, and sent her son
out again.
"This time he met a turkey,
and was still more fright-
ened. 'Oh, Mother,' he said,
panting, 'I saw a great puffed
up being with a deadly look,
ready to kill.'
" 'Neither is he our enemy,'
replied the mother. 'Our en-
emy keeps his head down
like an exceedingly humble
person, he is smooth and soft-
spoken, friendly in appear-
ance, and acts as if he were
a very kind creature. If you
meet him, beware!' "
Sayings of the Kotzker
Said the Kotzker (died
1859): "take care of your own
soul and of another man's
body, not of your own body
and of another man's soul."
An ignorant villager, hav-
ing heard it is a good reli-
gious deed to eat and drink
on the day before the atone-
ment fast, drank himself in-
to a stupor. He awoke late at
night, too late for the eve-
ning services. Not knowing
the prayers by heart, he de-
vised a plan. He repeated the
letters of the alphabet over
and over, beseeching the Al-
mighty to arrange them into
the proper words of prayer.
The following day he attend-
ed the synagogue of the Kotz-
ker and confessed his trans-
gression. Whereupon the Zad-
dik declared: "Your prayer
was more acceptable than
mine because you uttered it
with the entire devotion of
your heart."
* *
Said the Kotzker: "There
are three ways in which a
man can go about performing
a good deed. 'If he says: 'I
shall do it soon, the way is
poor. If he says: 'I am ready
to do it now,' the way is of
average quality. If he says:
`I am doing it,' the way is
praiseworthy."
* * *
The Kotzker Rebbe also
said: "Death is merely mov-
ing from one home to an-
other. If we are wise, we will
make the latter the more
beautiful home."

Said the Ropshitzer: "I was
once loathe to accept a rab-
binical post, inasmuch as I
believed I would be com-
pelled to resort to flattery. I
despise flattery. Then I ob-
served that everyone must
practice flattery, whether he
be tailor, shoemaker, or store-
keeper. Hence, I said to my-
self: "Since flattery is an un-
avoidable and u niv ers al
necessity, I may as well be-
come a rabbi.' "
"Your house is in peace"
refers to one who loves his
wife as himself and honors
her more than himself, who
leads his children in the
right path.—Talmud
