Orlinsky Captivates SZ Audience
By ALAI HITSKY
World-renowned Bible
scholar Dr. Harry M. Or-
linsky captivated an audi-
ence of 350 at Cong.
Shaarey Zedek for two
hours Tuesday evening as
he discussed "The Concept
of the Holy Land in the
Bible and Judea and
Samaria vs. the West
Bank."
In a humor-filled give-
and-take with his audience,
Dr. Orlinslu emphasized
that in the Hebrew Scrip-
tures, God gave the Land of
Israel to the individual Pat-
riarchs — Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob — and their de-
scendants, and after them to
the nation of Israel as a
whole.
Dr. Orlinsky had mem-
bers of the audience read
selected translated pas-
sages from the Bible and
explained the Hebrew
terms showing that God
made a legal contract with
the Patriarchs.
"Israel's obligation
was complete devotion to
God alone and to no
Other," Dr. Orlinsky said.
"There must also be jus-.
tice for their fellow Is-
raelites.
"God's obligation was to
protect, favor and prosper
them against every other
nation in the world. God
was a national god, not an
international one, but also a
universal one."
Dr. Orlinsky said invad-
ers came because Israel did
not fully uphold its end of
the bargain and was
punished for its sins. "The
invaders mean nothing.
They are the tools of God,"
he said.
"The Biblical view is that
the whole world is a stage,
with just two roles: God and
Israel. The other nations
'have walk-on roles."
Dr. Orlinsky said the
most important point or
inducement for Israel in
the contract was the
Land. "The attraction is
not the worship of God or
gaining social justice.
The attraction is the
Land. The Land is the
contract." He added that
he has been preparing a
monograph on this theme
and has been checking
the Bible for two years
and found nothing to re-
fute this.
He said individuals
within the nation of Israel
might break this covenant
with God, but that the na-
tion as a whole could not.
He scornfully denounced
a standard Christian refer-
ence on the Bible, compiled
by Prof. Anderson of Prince-
ton Theological Seminary
and used widely by Chris-
tian scholars.
Anderson's text refers to
Seattle Monitor
SEATTLE (JTA) — A
project to monitor Seattle

tions of religious influence

Seattle Jewish Federation
and the 'American Civil
Liberties Union of Wash-
ington state.
the Land as a gift from God.
Dr. Orlinsky quoted
numerous passages in the
Bible which refer to the
covenant in real estate
terms. "It was not a gift,"
Dr. Orlinsky stated.
"It can be taken away
from you by military or
political power. But not le-
gally!:
Dr. Orlinsky said An-
derson succumbed to
anti-Zionism or anti-
Semitic thinking for this
section of his book, which
in no way is backed by
the Bible. "Unfortu-
nately," he said, "this is
the norm of Christian
scholarly opinion about
the Land." •
Dr. Orlinsky quoted New
Testament references to
Judea and Samaria, and in
particular in the Book of
Acts. At this point, he said,
Jesus had already been re-
ssurected and was therefore
considered a deity. Jesus
tells his disciples to go
through Jerusalem, Judea
and Samaria and then the
world.
But Christian scholars
never refer to these pas-
sages, Dr. Orlinsky said, be-
cause they give a Zionist in-
terpretation which is not
popular.
Dr. Orlinsky answered
several lively questions
from the audience, but re-
fused to become involved in
a discussion of modern Is-
rael's claims to ancient
Judea and Samaria. He said
the writers of the Bible gave
various descriptions of the
dimensions of the land (i.e.
"from Dan to Beersheva")
and the dimensions varied
from period to period.
Dr. Orlinsky's lecture
was sponsored by Mr. and
Mrs.' Walter Field as the
opening of the 16th annual
series of events sponsored
by the Shaarey Zedek Cul-
tural Commission.
