the atmosphere of the syn-
agogue.

BY RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX

(Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.)

Some traditional syn-
agogues will not allow fu-
nerals to be held in the sanc-
tuary.
Some sources base it on a
general rule which stated
that only "public eulogies"
(e.g. public funerals) could
be held in the synagogue but
not "private eulogies" (pri-
vate funerals) (Tosefta Ma-
gilah, Tractate Megilali
28:B).
Generally speaking, pub-
ic eulogies would apply to
he spiritual leader of the
congregation or the sage
who is mourned by the en-
tire community, and not
only by a select number of
people.
Actually, taking the
matter further, the people
were criticized for even
bringing the body of the
famous Gaon of Vilna into
the synagogue. This was
based upon another con-
tention which claimed that
in our age of Diaspora
there are no real sages,
even though there are
great scholars present
from time to time.
Therefore, no one can be
classified as the person for
whom all Israel mourns.
The activity of the syn-
agogue is supposedly lim-
ited to public functions
shared by the community
and not private functions
limited to a certain group.
In a sense it was for this
reason that some _authori-
ties even forbid private wed-
dings from taking place in
the synagogue. There are
some authorities who will
not officiate at weddings or
funerals in synagogues.
Some of them might make
an exception in the case of
the funeral of the spiritual
leader of the synagogue
since the entire synagogue

Isniiel Exporting
Clothes to Germany

BONN — Children's
clothing from Israel is in the
medium price range in West
Germany.
Today Israeli firms are
able to meet high European
quality and fashion stand-
ards. Israel's children's
fashion branch comprises 32
firms with a total staff of
2,000.
Exports to the Federal
Republic last year were
worth 188,000. There are
signs of a further increase:
whereas in the period Janu-
ary to June 1974 children's
fashions worth 40,000 were
exported to the Federal Re-
public, this figure had been
more than doubled ($97,000)
in the same period this year.

JNF Helps Clear
Farmland of Rocks

JERUSALEM — The
Galilee, which has become a
center for modern agricul-
ture, suffers from a "rocky"
problem. Rocks and stones
hamper and restrict farm-
ing.
In order to solve this prob-
lem, the Jewish National
Fund acquired new ma-
chines similar to "sub-so-
ilers" used in the United
States. The new machines
made of steel which look
like large teeth dig deep into
the ground and pull out
stones and rocks left in the
ground. -

As from Jan. 1, 1976 the

goods will be reduced by a
further 20 percent. And as
from July 1, 1977, ready-to-
wear clothes will be com-
pletely free from custom's
duty.
