It ranges from pottery used in the time of Moses to a Persian synagogue wall of the 16th Century to contem- porary silver ceremonial objects created in the Museum's Tobe Pascher Workshop for Sil- versmiths. One of the newest and ost interesting exhibits t the museum is a small udaica display entitled "The Jewish Traveler." The compact exhibit con- tains many unique and beautiful miniature ob- jects used by Jews when they traveled.

In- genious13,', they devised small, miniature ceremo- nial objects for their long journeys so that they could practice their faith no matter how far from home they went. The exhibit at the museum contains spice containers, folding Hanuka lamps, miniature prayer books, a case for a scribe and a small circum- cision kit. No travelers bag was complete how- ever, without an amulet which was considered use- ful in protecting one from disease, highway robbers and other hazards of a journey. The Jewish Museum exhibit, which will con- tinue through the fall, even contains a minia- ture sewing kit with the personal seal of the woman who owned the kit. Another unusual as- pect of the exhibit is the inclusion of part of the travelers prayer which reads in part, "May it be thy will, 0 Lord my God and God of my fathers, to conduct me in peace, to direct my steps in peace, to uphold me in peace, and to lead me in life, joy and peace unto the haven of my desire. 0 deliver me from every enemy, am- bush and hurt by the way, and from all afflictions that visit and trouble the world . . ." (Daily Prayer Book translated by Dr. Joseph Hertz). The Jewish Museum, under the auspices of The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, is located in New York City. . .

Picks Rabbi Lamm NEW YORK (JTA) — Dr. Norman Lamm, philosopher, author and teacher, and a chemist who became a rabbi, has been elected president of Yeshiva University, the third in the institution's history. Third President "A Hedge of Roses: Jewish Insights into Marriage and Married Life," published in six editions, three in the U.S., one in England, and in Hebrew and POrtu- guese; "The Royal Reach: Discourses on the Jewish Tradition and the World Today"; "Fait'h and Doubt: Studies in Tra- ditional Jewish Thought"; and "The Good Society: Jewish Ethics in Action", part of Bnai Brith's Jewish Heritage Classics. Lamm, 48, is the first American-born chief executive officer of the 91-year-old institution. The announcement was made by Max J. Etra, chairman of Yeshiva University's Board of Trustees. Lamm suc- ceeds the late Dr. Samuel Belkin who died April 18, 1976. Belkin was presi- dent from 1943 until he became chancellor in September 1975. Born in Brooklyn, Rabbi Lamm earned his bachelor's degree from Yeshiva College in 1949, graduating summa cum laude as a chemistry major. During Israel's War of Independence in 1948, as a student at the college, he worked on a secret munitions research proj- ect for the struggling state under the direction of Dr. Ernst D. Bergmann, who later be- came head of the Israel Atomic' Energy Commis- sion. Rabbi Lamm went on to graduate study of chemistry at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He was or- dained at the university-affiliated Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary in 1951. In June 1966 he was awarded a PhD degree in Jewish philosophy from Yeshiva University's Bernard Revel Graduate School. Although an articulate spokesman for Orthodox Judaism, Dr. Lamm was in the foreground in his demand that Orthodox synagogue groups coop- erate with bodies of Re- form and Conservative Judaism in problems con- fronting the American Jewish community. As a result, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congre- gations of America, at its convention two years ago, remained in the Syna- gogue Council,of America. He has been described as a "scholar rooted in Jewish tradition and open to the broad cur- rents of Western thought." Because of his knowledge of talmudic law, his opinions have been quoted in decisions of the United States Sup- reme Court, once by Chief Justice Earl Warren and again by Justice William 0. Douglas. In 1966 he was named Erna and Jakob Michael Professor of Jewish Phi- losophy at Yeshiva Uni- versity and has been a fa- culty member since 1953, serving as ahil p....osophy instructor. He has been spiritual leader of The Jewish Center in New York City since 1958 and served/'as DR. NORMAN LAMM rabbi of Cong. Kodimoh in Springfield, Mass., in 1954-58 and as assistant rabbi of New York City's Kehilath Jeshurun in 1952-53. A prolific writer, Rabbi Lamm's works include: Beth Achim Sets Tour to Israel Cong. Beth Achim will sponsor its fifth tour to Israel, arranged by Rabbi Milton Arm, Nov. 15-29. Cost of the trip includes hotel accommodations, some meals and tours. In- cluded on the trip are visits to religious sites, educational institutions, kibutzim, moshavim and cultural institutions. For brochure or reser- vations, call the synagogue, 352-8670.
