Bread Required for Grace
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright 1977, JTA, Inc.)
.
Jewish tradition re-
quires a piece of bread to
be left on the table while
reciting the grace after
meals because a person
gen,erally should not
finish everything on the
table so that something
would be left in case a
poor person happened to
come by. -
The basis for this
reasoning is traced to the
passage in the Bible
which tells of the miracle

that happened through
the medium of Elisha the.
Prophet (2 Kings 4:43)
where there suddenly ap-
peared .enough to "eat
and to leave over."
The Talmud (Sanhed-
rin 92b) states that
"whosoever does not
leave over any food on his
table will never see a sign.
of blessing."
In the Bible (II Kings,
Chapter 4)' where the
Prophet Elisha responded
to the needy who were in
danger of being deprived
of their possessions by
asking, "Tell me, what do
"you have in the house"
(Supra, verse 2).
When they informed
him that they had only
one container of oil,
Elisha provoked the-Al-
mighty's miraculous
powers into continuing
the flow of this container
until it filled all the empty
vessels they could, ac-
quire.
Since the grace after
' meals asks for the
• mighty's blessihg there
must be something on the
table as a minimum so
that the blessing would
: extend the possessions or
food of the family and
provide them with due
sustenance for the fu-
ture.

USA Launches
Parents' Program
NEW YORK — The
Commission on Jewish
Education of the United
Synagogue of America,
the congregational net-
work of Conservative
Judaism, has launched
the first program in the
United States designed
specifically for parents of
Jewish adolescents.
Called "Parent Educa-
tion for Parents of Jewish
Adolescents," the pro-
gram attempts to help
parents of adolescent
children cope with their
special concerns within a
framework of Judaic reli-
gious values.
The Arabs have dwelt in
Eretz Yisrael for hundreds
of years, Arabs whose
ancestors were born here
and died here and for whom
Eretz Yisrael is their coun-
try in which they wish to
and shall live in the future.
We must accept this fact
willingly and draw all the
necessary conclusions. This
is the basis of true under-
standing between us and the
Arabs. This understanding
will not be achieved today or
tomorrow. No matter how
fervently we desire it.
