History relates that 1492 saw the cruel expulsion of over 200,000 Jews from Spain as well as the dis- covery of a New World by a man who may have been of Jewish origin. But the scholars fail to tell of an- other significant event that took place during that fate- ful year — namely that a non-Jew decided to go to "Hebrew school" as it were. And indeed they should be- cause this was one "enroll- ment" which changed the course of world history! Johann Von Reuchlin, the great German humanist (1455-1522) who debated the apostate Jew Pfeffer- korn in the monumental series which contributed substantially to the Protes- tant Reformation, was the new Hebrew school "stu- dent." During a visit to Rome in 1490, Reuchlin met the Kabalist, Pico di Miran- dola, who stimulated an interest in Hebrew in Reuchlin. Two years later in Linz, Austria, Reuchlin met the court physician to the German emperor Frederick III, one Jacob ben Yechiel Loans, who became his first teacher in Hebrew grammar. So enamored of his teacher was Reuchlin that he lost little opportunity to continue his Hebrew War Restoration Will Be Costly AID Chief Says Des he kilOW Whal it knavish It've like a Jew? oec he 1/iis,Jewisii History does he kkiow low to rod Hebrew? 60 Ile friloW cok9reciai-104 - 5eth By RABBI ALLAN BLUSTEIN Chaplain, Sinai Hospital ) Chairman The Non-Jew Who Went to Heder Zt! 0 WASHINGTON (JTA) — The immediate relief needs in Lebanon "are largely being met," but the long- term rehabilitation of that war-torn country will be long and costly, M. Peter McPherson, administrator of the United States Agency for International Develop- ment (AID), said last week. McPherson, who returned Sept. 1. from a two-day visit to Lebanon, told a press con- ference that the immediate need is for shelter for about 60,000 people before the fall rains. He said that tents are being purchased from Pakistan partly with U.S. funds. While McPherson ac- knowledged that there were probably thousands of others who have found shel- ter with relatives, his fig- ures point to the grossly exaggerated reports early in the Lebanon war that some 60,000 were left home- less. The best remedy for our discontent is to count our mercies. By the time we have reckoned up a part of these, we shall be on our knees praising the Lord for His great mercy and love. studies. On a later visit to Rome (1497), he sat at the feet of the illustrious Obadia of Sforno from whom he learned Talmud and Kabala as well. These studies led the humanist to divide Jewish literature into seven classes, where he concluded that the Talmud, the Zohar, the commentaries of Rashi, the Kimchis, Ibn Ezra, Ger- sonides, Nachmanides and others should not be burned since they were not hereti- cal and could be useful in theology and science. As a result of his opinion, Emperor Maximilian re- scinded his edict to destroy all Jewish books in the year 1510. There now ensued a raging battle between Reuchlin and the humanists on the one hand and Pfefferkorn and the clericals on the other which led ultimately to the events which shook European Christianity and then the world. Although Reuchlin was no great friend of the Jews as a people, he was never- theless a devotee and ad- mirer of their literature. As a result, his thoughts and actions prevented dire con- sequences for the continuity of European Jewry and its formula for survival as the "People of the Book."
