Honor Moses Maimonides

Moses Maimonides (1135-
1204), a physician by profes-
sion, became one of the fore-
most of Jewish teachers and,
philosophers. The following is
an extract from his will:
Fear the Lord, but love him
also; for fear only restrains a
man from sin, while love stimu-
lates him to good ... Accustom
yourselves to habitual good-
ness; for a man's character is
what habit makes it .. .
The perfection of the body is
a necessary antecedent to the
perfection of the soul; for
health is the key that unlocks
the inner chamber.
Measure your words; for
the more your words, the
more your words, the more
your errors. Ask for explana-
tions of what you do not un-
derstand; but let it be done at
a fitting moment and in the
fitting language . . . Speak in
refined language, in clear ut-
terance and gentle voice.
Speak aptly to the subject, as
one who wishes to learn and
to find the truth, not as one
whose aim is to quarrel and to
conquer .. .
If you find in the Law or the
Prophets or the Sages a hard
saying which you cannot under-
stand. which appears subver-

sive of some principle of the re-
ligion, or altogether absurd,
stand fast by your faith, and at-
tribute the fault to your own
want of intelligence. Despise
not your religion because you
are unable to understand one
difficult matter .. .

Love truth and unrightness-
the ornaments of the soul—and
cleave to them; prosperity so
obtained is built on a sure rock.
Keep firmly to your word; let
not a legal contract or witness
be more binding than your ver-
bal promise even privately
made.
Disdain reservation and
subterfuges, sharp practices
and evasions. Woe to him who
builds his house thereon! .. .
Bring near those that are far
off; humble yourselves to the
lowly and show them the light
of your countenance.
In your joys make the deso-
late share, but put no one to the
blush by your gifts. . . . I have
seen the low brought still lower,
families driven into exile,
princes deposed from their high
estate, cities ruined, assemblies
dispersed, all on account of
quarrelsomeness. Glory in for-
bearance, for in that is true
strength and victory.

Moses Maimonides (1135-
1204), talmudist, philosopher
and physician, wrote that there
are eight degrees or steps in the
duty of charity.
The first and lowest degree is
to give, but with reluctance or
regret. This is the gift of the
hand but not of the heart.
The second is to give cheer-
fully, but not proportionately to
the distress of the sufferer.
The third is to give cheer-
fully, and proportionately,
but not until solicited.

Enrollment Up
in Jewish Schools

NEW YORK — A pilot pro-
motion campaign to increase
enrollments in Jewish schools,
conducted by the Board of Jew-
ish Education (BJE) of Greater
New York, helped enroll 1,000
additional students in Jewish
schools this past year.

The fourth is to give cheer-
fully, proportionately, and even
unsolicited; but to put it in the
poor man's hand.
The fifth is to give charity in
such a way that the distressed
may receive the bounty, and
know their benefactor, without
being known to him.
The sixth is to know the ob-
jects of our bounty, but to re-
main unknown to them.
The seventh is to bestow
charity in such a way that the
benefactor may not know the
relieved persons, nor they the
name of their benefactors.

charity, by preventing poverty,
namely, to assist the reduced
man.
