TR 5-0300 Rare Spinoza Volume Discovered NEW YORK — A com- plete Latin edition of the philosophical works of Baruch Spinoza, published in 1677, the year of the philosopher's death, has been discovered at the Jewish Theological Semi-' nary...Bound in calf with handwritten notes on the fly leaves, the volume had been housed in the rare book room of the Seminary's li- brary, but no one knew just how rare it was until , a visit- ing Dutch philosophy pro- fessor announced in as- tonishment that it was probably the only surviving copy. Prof. H. G. Hubbeling of the University of Groningen had come to the Seminary for the opening session of the Conference on the Philosophy of Spinoza. He quickly explained that he and his colleagues at the Dutch Spinoza Society had spent years searching for this very volume, the last known copy of which was rumored to have been de- stroyed in Hamburg, Ger- many, during World War II. The Seminary had ac- quired the two part volume in 1953 and displayed it only on the occasion of the conference. The first part appears to be earlier works especially reprinted or bound together for the edi- tion while the second part was published in Amster- dam by Jan Rieuwertz im- mediately after Spinoza's death. The three-day confer- ence, attended by more than 100 international scholars and students, considered Spinoza both FRESH FISH From Great Scott's Fresh Fish Counter PLUS SU GREEN STAMPS FOR THE FINEST IN PERSONAL SATISFACTION CALL ONE OF THESE GREAT SCOTT!

Levin's 'Harvest' Presented to Jewish Library NEW YORK — A tradi- tion was perpetuated when the manuscript of Meyer Levin's latest novel "The Harvest" was presented to the Jewish National and University Library (JNUL) at a reception honoring Levin May 11 at the Uni- versity House of the Ameri- can Friends of the Hebrew University.

(JTA) — Some 300 of the 800 Hartford area residents who visited Israel in January as part of the Friendship Flight exchange or hosted an Israeli family who came here, had a re- union at the new Hartford Jewish Community Center Day Camp as part of a celebration of Israel's 30th anniversary. Human Chain Peace Petition JERUSALEM (JTA) — A petition urging Premier Menahem Begin to modify his policies in the interests of peace was passed hand- to-hand last week along a human chain extending for some 10 miles from the heart of Jerusalem into the hills surrounding the city. Spokesmen for the Peace Now movement which or- ganized the demonstration, estimated that 4,000 men, women and children par- ticipated. The demonstration was the latest in a mounting grass roots campaign de- manding that the govern- ment give peace priority over territories and a so- called Greater Israel. Many of the participants carried banners saying "Peace Now Is Not a Dream." Among the newer theories that emerged in the concluding session was the proposal by Prof. Harry V. Jaffa of Claremont's Men's College in California that Spinoza's ideas on democ- racy directly influenced Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers of America. The conference sought to stimulate renewed research into the works of the con- troversial Dutch philosopher who was ex- communicated as a heretic by the rabbinate in Amster- dam. _ _ _ Rabbi Worried by Alcohol Abuse NEW YORK (JTA) — A Reform rabbi active in corn- batting alcoholism among Jews has challenged the widespread assumption that a close correlation exists between commitment to Jewish observance and freedom from alcohol addic- tion. _Rabbi Sheldon Zimmer- man of the Central Synagogue in Manhattan, who proposed a task force on the problem to the Commis- sion on Synagogue Rela- tions of the New York Fed- eration of Jewish Philan- thropies, raised the observance-addiction issue in a recent report in Sh'ma. The task force was estab- lished in 1975. Zimmerman also de- clared that "special work' . must be done with young Jews because "the incidence of alcohol abuse is spread. ing among the youth both in high school and college." Ben-Gurion U.
