Holy Days Classic for Young Readers In an impressive explanatory definition of the Holy Days prayer book, accompanied by excellent illustrations, "Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur" (Holt, Rinehart and Winston) is a classic work for young readers. The Holy Days are de- fined here with an excel- lence that will be valued in every Jewish home. For the young reader, it is a fas- cinatingly explanatory work. Parents will value it for the brevity with which Newsweek Apologizes to ADL for Bias in Article on Israel NEW YORK — News- week magazine has apologized to the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith for its "highly regret- table lapse" in reflecting "an . anti-Semitic stereotype" in a Sept. 3 arti- cle entitled "Israel's Spies in the U.S." In a letter to Abraham H. Foxman, ADL's associate national director, News- week 'Editor Lester Berns- tein said: "I have conducted a thorough post-mortem and satisfied myself that this lapse resulted from insen- sitivity and inadvertence, not from malice. I can as- sure you that we have engaged in some consciouness-raising on this subject and I do not expect a recurrence. In our next issue we plan to publish a critical letter and an acknowledgment that we were wrong." Foxman, who had writ- ten to David Auchincloss, Newsweek's publisher, protesting the article as "untrue and unfair," ac- cepted the Bernstein apology "with restored faith in Newsweek's ob- jectivity and fairminded- ness. In his letter to Au- chincloss, Foxman took issue with the following Seminary Wins $24,000 Grant NEW YORK — Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, an affiliate of Yeshiva University, has been awarded a $24,000 grant by Lilly Endowment, Inc., for participation in a new training program for deferred gifts officers of theological seminaries. The objectives of the pro- gram are to aid institutions in the recruitment and training of a corps of compe- tent professional deferred gifts officers; provision of resources, counsel and management assistance necessary to establish and sustain an effective de- ferred gifts program; and the advancement of the state of the art of resource development programming and philanthropic support for the theological educa- tion. the author interprets the holiness of his theme in less than. 25 pages. The draw- ings add fascination to one of the finest of children's books available on the themes of the holiest period on the Jewish calendar. Howard Greenfeld, the one-time publisher of Orion Press, a noted author, re- lates the story with deep.. emotion and an impressive dedication to a sacred theme. Elaine Grove adds magni- ficently with her splendid illustrations that give power to a children's book that emerges as a classic. Regrettably, the book ar- rived too late for review prior to the Holy Days. It nevertheless retains its value for the children's bookshelves at all times. quote from the Sept. 3 edi- tion: "With the help of Ameri- can Jews in and out of gov- ernment, Mossad looks for any softening in U.S. sup- Honey Boosters port, and tries to get techni- TEL AVIV — Tel Aviv cal intelligence the Ad- University scientists have ministration is unwilling to created perpetually- give to Israel." blooming flower parks to in- Foxman wrote: crease honey production in "This comment raises the Israel and reduce costs of old canard of dual loyalty.

Throughout Jewish liter- ature the sukka has sym- bolized many things. The Bible itself, when giving the commandment to "dwell in sukkot" tells us that the Almighty caused the people of Israel to dwell in a booth (sukka) when he took them out of Egypt. The Talmud - (Tractate Sukka) gives two different explanations of this state- ment. One is that the sukka represents the temporary dwelling that our ancestors occupied. A second explana- tion is that the sukka repre- sents the protective Clouds of Glory that accompanied the Israelites through the wilderness to give them both protection and direc- tion. Philo of Alexandria claimed that the sukka (the overhead covering of leaves, branches, etc.), represented an almost equal distribu- tion of light and darkness which indicated that at this time of year the hours of night and the hours of day are almost equal. Josephus claimed that the sukka was a symbol of the protective dwelling which had to be reinforced at this season in face of the coming rainy season. The mystics claimed that the sukka, being a temporary dwelling for the week, indi- cated that life on earth is but a temporary existence. Some claim that the dwelling in the sukka in in- dicative of the diaspora existence of the Jewish people which was but a temporary condition until the Messiah comes. The vegetative covering, which is required to have been cut off from the ground indicates the constant episodes of homelessness which so often overtook the Jewish people. The fact that the roof of the sukka has to be remade every year is an indication that the Jew has to constantly reconstruct his settlements from one land to another — meeting new challenges all the time. The fact that the sukka has to contain more shade than light indicates that Jewish history has been fil- led with more tragedy than security (i.e. we have spent more time out of our home- land than in it). Philosopher Visits Israel TEL AVIV (JTA) — Jean-Paul Sartre was im- mersed in existential ac- tivity — and in the Gulf of Eilat this week. The renowned French philosopher and his daugh- ter arrived in Israel on the eve of Rosh Hashana on a private visit and im- mediately proceeded to the warm climes of Israel's southern city to dip in the gulf waters and to con- template the sand and the sun — just being and noth- ing else.
