act of the groom handing
his bride the "ketuba" or
marriage contract,
whereby he accepts the
obligation to supply all
her needs in their future
life together. The ketuba
serves to defend the wo-
man's position after her
marriage and, in the
words of the Talmud, "so
that it will not be easy for
him to cast her aside."
The legal importance of
the ketuba in the relations
between bride and groom is
evidenced by the fact that
Jewish law prohibits the
husband from spending
The ensuing discussion
and repartee had all the
makings of a therapy ses-
sion as a number of Knes-
seters let their unconscious
repressed hostilities and
anxieties all hang out.
The discussion was
sparked by a suggestion by
Likud Knesseter Pesach
Grupper to appoint a
psychiatrist to visit the
Knesset once a week. The
suggestion was evidently
well intentioned. As Grup-
per saw it, a psychiatrist
could help soothe the over-
worked and frayed nerves of
the representatives of the
people.
Some of his colleagues,
however, felt that Grupper
was expressing doubts
about their emotional sta-
bility.

Anti-Semitic
Notes Are Found
in Drug Packages
NEWARK, N.J. — Anti-
Semitic notes are being
slipped into packages of
non-prescription drugs at
supermarkets in Monmouth
County, according to inves-
tigators for the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith, two state agencies
and the police department.
The typed pieces of paper,
folded to the size of a post-
age stamp, blame Jews for
ailments ranging from
tooth decay to colds, the in-
vestigators said. One drug
company confirmed that the
notes did not originate from
its plants, but were slipped
into the packages while on
grocery shelves.
even one hour with his wife
unless she is in possession of
the ketuba — and should
the original certificate be
lost, he has to provide her
with another.
The unique status of the
Holy Land in Jewish life
finds expression even in the
law concerning the mar-
riage contract, since it is
ruled that should the wife
refuse to follow her husband
to the Holy Land, the
ketuba is automatically an-
nulled.
The IL 0.75 stamp por-
trays one of the most beauti-
ful Dutch ketubot of the
17th Century. The IL 3.90
stamp illustrates an illumi-
nated ketuba from the
Moroccan community of
Meknes, clearly showing
the influence of Islamic art.
The marriage contract on
the IL 6 stamp is a typical
example of a ketuba from
Jerusalem.
