Senate Wednesday to succeed
William S'axbe as U.S. Attor-

Levi was scheduled to be
sworn in today.
He received unanimous ap-
proval from the Senate Judi-
ciary committee earlier this
week after being nominated
by President Ford last month
for the post.
The week-long hearings in
the Judiciary Committee were
marked by an exchange be-
tween Sen. Hugh Scott (R-
Pa.) and Stanley Rittenhouse
of Liberty Lobby, who accus-
ed Levi of being a "loyalist"
of Vice President Nelson
Rockefeller.
Scott also chastised Ritten-
house for questioning Levi's
loyalty to the U.S. He said,

JERUSALEM (JTA) --A
mother-and-child center was
opened in the new north
Jerusalem suburb of Neve
Yaacov recently in the pres-
ence of Joseph M. Levine of
Chicago, an Israel Bond Or-
ganization leader, whose do-
nation made the center pos-
sible.
Levine's previous gifts to
the Jerusalem Foundation
helped build two public
parks, a basketball court
and a suburban library. The
new center is named after
Mrs. Dorothy Levine.

Jewish law requires a spec-
ial redemption ceremony to
be performed for the first-
born male.
The Bible requires this
procedure which has come
to be called "Pidyon Haben"
(Exodus 13:2; Numbers 18:-
15). One of the reasons of-
fered for this practice is that
Judaism traditionally regard-
ed all of the firsts of man's
productivity as something to
be offered to the Almighty.
When his fields, or his live-
stock': or his family -begins
to produce he might think
that it was all his doing and,
therefore belongs to him.
Jewish tradition therefore
asks him to dedicate the
"firsts" to the Almighty. Thus
the first fruits, the first
grains, the firsts of his live-
stock are all offered to the
Almighty.
In the case of the first-
born child, males were ori-
ginally the priests who serv-
ed in the temple. After the
sin of the golden calf in which
the first-born are said to have
participated, the service in
the temple was handed over
to the Levites from whom
came the priests. It thus be-
came necessary to indicate
the special nature of the hu-
man first-born males in an-
other way.
Therefore, the Bible com-
manded that they be redeem-

of Chicago as the next Attor-
ney General of the United
States.
He is the grandson of Rab-
bi Emil G. Hirsch, a man of
national renown in his day.
Hirsch was a rabbi of Sinai
Temple, Chicago, and during
his incumbency, that temple
seemed to possess something
of the grandeur which we as-
sociate with the term Sinai.
Hirsch was impressive look-
ing and of scholarly attain-
ments. He belonged to the
radical wing of Reform Juda-
ism. He was once asked, if
he were really not a Jew at
all, but a Unitarian. "I am a
Jewnitarian," he answered.
Reform Judaism in its early
days was hostile to Zionism.
Emil -Hirsch was not a Zion-
ist, but he would on occasion
invite a Zionist to speak in
his pulpit. He said he could
not see why a rabbi who had
the pulpit the entire year
should be afraid of someone
at times presenting a differ-
ent point of view.
Julius Rosenwald, the big
mail order man of Chicago
belonged in a similar cate-
gory. Schmaryahu Lewin
worked on him and Rosen-
wald began to evince some
interest. When Lewin asked
Rosenwald to come out with
a more -positive stand, Rosen-
wald answered he was giving
his new estate the name, The
Tel Aviv.
"I would rather," Lewin
replied, "that you come to
Tel Aviv and name your
estate here The Chicago."

as to make man aware that
even his offspring belongs to
the Almighty; but that he
has the option to redeem the
first-born offspring in the
special ceremony which
would remind him of the fact
that even our children be-
long to us only by the grace
of the Almighty.
There are some who claim
that this ceremony was ori-
ginally intended to show the
difference between the origi-
nal ancient power enjoyed
by the family's first-born and
the Jewish view which re-
garded the first-born not as
a figure of power but as a
person of responsibility.
Wheras, in some ancient
civilization the first-born was
practically the dictator of
the family, in Jewish tradi-
tion he became a symbol of
concern and shouldered re-
sponsibility. It is also claimed
that the redemption ceremo-
ny of the first-born is a re-
mainder of the episode that
occured just before the exo-
dus from Egypt when the
Egyptian first-born w e r e
slain while the first-born of
the Israelites were spared.
In this sense the ceremony
reminds us 'of the very
miracle of our existence and
our survival, both in days of
old as well as even today.
