`Torah Portion'
ids Disputed'
? We were reading the "Torah
(Portion" in your Nov. 21 issue
'0'y Rabbi Robert M. Syme, and
as
' students of Sally- Allan Ale-
xander Beth Jacob School for
Girls, we were shocked by some
J1 the points that were brought
ut.
For instance, Rashi quotes the
almud, stating that Jacob's age
was 77 at the time of his dream,
riot the teens as this article

Even if he had been a
e,f ,,nager, we would never in our
wildest dreams compare our
Forefather to today's youth — he

childish and immature dreams,
nit, on the contrary, would have
been expected to pursue a
_cletime of Torah from his early
bhildhood.

Tils because of the widespread
dolatry and animal worship at
that time. Our patriarchs, how-

an such spiritual things as To-

( Again, the Goebbels Tech-

merican Jewry into believing

No action by a Jew, including
