"WE ARE MORE THAN AN OFFICE STORE"
The Wounds'
Continued from preceding page
tragic mistake — a mistake by a
friend."
Abba Kovner, a writer and poet
who was a leader of the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising in 1943, called on
the leaders of Israel to go to Yad
Vashem and to fast as a gesture of
national mourning over President
Reagan's visit to Bitburg and for
what he perceived to be the "mild"
Israeli reaction.
Howard Friedman, president of
the American Jewish Committee,
noted again the failure of the AJ-
Committee and other Jewish
leaders to persuade Reagan to
cancel the visit to Bitburg. But he
praised the President's remarks
at the Bergen-Belsen death camp
and his visit to West Germany's
first chancellor, Konrad
Adenauer, another last-minute
arrangement.
Nathan Perlmutter, director of
the Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith, said the President's
"gentle eloquence at Bergen-
Belsen" will resonate for a long
time. "Not so his discomforting
walk at Bitburg."
But, Perlmutter added, "it's all
over now. The President has a
new debit in his ledger: Bitburg.
But as we all want to be judged by
our full records rather than on our
worst lapses, so should a
President be judged. Bitburg evi-
dences an insensitivity to the vic-
timized dead.- The miraculous air-
lift of Ethiopian Jews from Sudan
and the defense of Israel reveal a
great sensitivity for the living and
the future."
In Washington, evangelist
Billy Graham predicted that time
will heal the wounds of the
Holocaust but conceded that time
has not yet come. Graham de-
clined to criticize President Rea-
gan directly. Two other Evangeli-
cal Christians, Revs. Jerry
Fallwell, leader of the Moral
Majority, and Jimmy Swaggart,
both staunch supporters of Rea-
gan, have publicly called the Bit-
burg visit a "mistake."
Jewish groups who had hoped to
protest at both Bitburg and
Bergen-Belsen were forced away
from both sites by German secu-
rity police. After Reagan left
Bergen-Belsen, hundreds of pro-
testors entered the former concen-
tration camp and recited the Kad-
dish prayer.
The protestors included
Charles Silow, founder of the
Children of Holocaust Survivors
Association in Michigan, and the
group's president, Bernie Kent.
SS Protested
Washington — B'nai B'rith In-
ternational has called on the
German people to cancel the reu-
nion of the Waffen SS troops
schedued for the end of this month
in the town of Nesselwang.

Symbolism in Jewish tradi-
tional observances is explicitly
defined in the writings of Rabbi
Samson Raphael Hirsch, one of
the most distinguished
authorities of the 20th Century.
Edoth, representing the truths
forming the basis of Jewish tradi-
tional dedications are defined in
Collected Writings of Rabbi Sam-
son Raphael Hirsch, published by
Philipp Feldheim as one of its cur-
rent classical publication series.
Symbolic mitzvot and the
truths/ they represent are pro-
vide)dexplanatory means, elevat-
ing/the dedications to the Jewish
traditional links.
In the current volume, there is
special significance in the essay
on the Shmone Esre which high-
lights the eminent scholar's in-
terpretation of Tefillah, prayer.
The Collected
Writings of Rabbi
Samson Raphael
Hirsch," Feldheim
Publishers.
Then there are the texts of
Rabbi Hirsch's 19 letters which
appeared in his magazine Horeb,
dealing with the Edoth and sym-
bols of Jewish observances.
A thorough introduction to
Jewish symbolism and the
guidelines to an appreciation of it
add immensely to this study of a
subject certain to inspire study
and devotion to its idealism.
– P.S.
Midrashic Tales Enrich
Midrashic tales, assembled by
Yocheved Segal, emphasize the
important need of inspiring
knowledge of the sages and the
Talmud in Our Sages Showed the
Way (Philipp Feldheim Publish-
ing Co.)
Translated from the Hebrew
when first published in 1976
under the title Ko Asu
Chachamenu, the translated vol-
ume is expressively illustrated by
Bethia Geffen. The translators
from the Hebrew are Esther Falk
of Pittsburgh and Zippora Pol-
lachek of Rehovot, Israel.
The combined labors lend spe-
cial significance to the aim of
popularizing Talmudic tales
which would otherwise be lost for
English readers.
A vast variety of subjects is
covered in the tales, such as "Jus-
tice," "Accepting the Convert,"
"Helping the Poor," "Benefits of
Widsom," "Piety" and lots more.
