WARSEN "A pagan once asked Rabbi Jashua ben Qarechah: 'Why of all things did God choose the humble thornbush as the place from which to speak to Moses?' "The Rabbi replied: 'If He had chosen a carob tree or a mulberry tree, you would have asked me the same question. Yet it is impossi- ble to let yo go away empty-handed. That is why I am telling you that God chose the humble thornbush — to teach you that there is no place on earth bereft of the Divine Presence, not even a thornbush." The above agada is repro- duced from "Our Masters Taught ("Tonu Rabonon"): Rabbinic Stories and Say- ings" translated and edited by Jacob J. Petuchowski, prof. of Judeo-Christian studies at Hebrew-Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati. It is published by Crossroad. Prof. Petuchowski, it is fair to note, translated the stories and aphorisms from their original sources: the Talmud, the Bible and the Midrash. Uniquely, the author "re- nders the world agada as `narrative theology.' " He points out, however, that there is no systematic Jewish theology, and quotes the late Prof. Solomon Schechter, who wrote: "With God as a reality, Re- velation as a fact, the Torah as a rule of life, and the hope of Redemption as a most vivid expectation, they (the rabbis) felt no need for for- mulating their dogmas into creeds." It is worthy of note that Prof. Petuchowski arranged the narratives topically and gave them titles. The stories are meaningful, intellectu- ally delightful and illus- trate moral truths. Exam- ples follow: Rabbi Judah used to say: Ten hard things were created in the world. The rock is hard, but iron can split it. Iron is hard, but fire can soften it. Fire is hard, but water can extinguish it. reception for 500! Bridal Showers. Bowling Banquets. Bar Mitz- vahs and every other important occasion. Kingsley*jinn 2990 W. 12 Mile Rd.

Rabbi Judah answered: "When the embryo has been formed." Antoninus objected, "Can a piece of meat be kept un- salted for three days without putrefying? One would, therefore, have to assume that the life-sustaining soul is implanted in the human being already at the moment of his inception." Then Rabbi Judah said: "Antoninus has taught me this matter. Scripture actu- ally supports him, when it says in Job: Tour provi- dence has watched over my spirit." • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FREE ADMISSION • • • • • • • • • KEEGO CINEMA • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The institute, founded in 1955 with reparations from West Germany, promotes research on the Jews of Germany.

The human body is hard, but fear can break it. Fear is hard, but wine can banish it. Wine is hard, but sleep can diminish its effect. Death is stronger than all, but "Charity delivers from death." It is remarkable, the He- brew world "zedakah" means both charity and righteousness. The following agada seems timely in the current social climate: Antoninus asked Rabbi (Judah the Patriarch): "MIDSUMMER NIGHT SEX COMEDY" (PG) BONN — Friends and Patrons of the Leo Baeck In- stitute has been formed in West Germany.
