TINES at the timG)
BY HENRY GERSONI.
UADRIAN AND TIE JEWS.

After the fall of Bethar, which hap
pened on the fatal 9th Of Ab, 135 A. c.,
Hadrian considered every Jew his per-
sonal enemy, and devised every form Of
cruelty and oppression to tyrannize this
unhappy race, both mentally and physi-
cally. The last three years of his reign
are known in Jewish history as the time
of ,Sahonuah (danger) and Geserah
(tyranny).
The coward Tinius Rufus, who did not
dare to face the Jews in arms, was again
appointed governor Of Judea, and gov
crned the Jews and their land with an
iron grasp. The city of Jerusalem was
rebuilt and consecrated as heather
town. with the name Ae}ia CdpHolina,
so that even her former name (sacred to
the Jews) should no longer exist. She
was populated with invalid Roman sol
diers. Phmnicians and Syrians, as a Ro-
man colony. On the place where the
temple formerly stood, there were cree
ted statues of Hadrian and of Jupiter
Capitolinus, and other images Of abom-
ination were placed in different parts of
the city and throughout the Holy Land.
All this was done for the purpose Of
roofing out from the heart Of the Jews
every feeling of respect and love for
their ancestral land, so that a jew should
never think of the sacred ground with
out horror while he imagined all the de-
testible things which were seen there.
But this plan worked quite differently
on the faithful Jewish heart. They
considered all these circumstances as a
punishment for their sins and never
ceased to love what was once declared
holy.
The following statement gives a clear
idea of the individual treatment of the
Jews by Hadrian:
:" 4 Jew met the emperor in the street
and saluted him Hadrian ordered the
courteous Jew to be beheaded, because
he dared to trouble his majesty with his
politeness. Shortly afterward, another
Jew met him and did not salute him he
was also ordered to be killed for his in
difference. The council, asking the en-
peror the reason for two such contradic-
tory actions, received the answer Will

Beruria ever, as her husband praises |
her, spoke in wisdom. Her brother, a
degenerate youth who had joined band
of robbers, was killed. The murderers
had filled his mouth with rocks and
pebbles. In consideration of R. Cha
nina ben Tradjon the corpse was given
a decent burial. After the father, in
the sorrow Of his soul, had spoken the
funeral sermon, Beruria too, stepped to
the bier, and opened her discourse with
the words of King Solomon: Sweet
unto man is the bread of deception, but
afterward his mouth fills with pebbles.
The life of this gifted and learned
woman was overshadowed by many
frowns of fate. Her father, the already
mentioned r. Chanina ben Tradion,
with other conspicuous teachers of his
time, as, Z. Akiba and R. Josua, the 2
teachers of Rabbi Meir, ended his life at
the stake. Her mother, likewise, is
said to have been condemned to death.
Her sister was carried to Rome, to there
be abandoned, through the hands of the
executioner, to fate worse than death
"a life Of dissolution. Racked by the
thought of her sisters miserable lot,
Beruria sought to prevail upon her hus
band to undertake journey to Rome,
and there to make all efforts to restore
the girl to freedom. With heavy heart,
r. Meir at last complied Before he
made any preparations to free her, how
ever, he wished first to try his sister-in-
law, to see which had gained the victory
with her. innate virtue or the vice forced
upon her Disguised as a Roman
knight, he made proposals of love to
her, but had the joyful satisfaction to be
stubbornly repulsed, and to find her viz
tue worth his strongest efforts With
the aid of money he succeeded in win
ming to his wishes the overseer Of the
house of i'll fame in which she was de
tanned he was successful in freeing the
girl, but, as the affair could not long
remain a secret, his own life was so en-
dangercd that it was only with the aid
of strategy he was enabled to save it.
Upon his return to his own country
his life, for a considerable time, was in
secure, in consequence of the bloody |
edicts of Adrian. Beruria never left
his side
After protracted rowing about he at
last made his home at Tiberias, where,
every Sabbath he held popular discour-
ses, made interesting by means of ex
amples and illustrations, to an audience
of both sexes, and where,
with the slender income of copyist of
the holy books-he wrote very beauti-
fully and correctly-he gained a scanty
ivlihood for his family.
Beruria, spite of her extensive knowl-
edge, preserved her deicacy Of mind
and never was otherwise than womanly.
She had a great influence upon the de-
meanor and character of her husband.
In their neighborhood lived a number
of rude people, who necessarily grieyed
her pious husband Tired of the con
tinuaI prosecutions, he one day, in his
anger commenced to pray to God to

long as there were religious institutions
among the Jews, there was a chord
which united their hearts and minds,
and that they would avoid no means for
promulgating their ideas and gathering
strength and sympathy.
So the Jewish race lay PROSTATE under
the tyranny of its enemies and such
were the means devised to exterminate
their lofty ideas of God, truth and NOR
ality, lest they should take root in the
hearts of others But with all these
measures the enemies Of light did not
succeed in suppressing it's beneficial in
tluence. Israel received the promise ::
No weapon that is formed against thee
shall prosper and every tongue that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn" and it was kept to them
until the present time. The great truths
which were intrusted to them on Mount
Sinai were destind to become the light
Of all nations in spite of all cruel efforts
to eXtiDguish them. But the Jews also
were true to their trust, and it was only
Israel's resolute mind which could retain
the sacred mission under such circum-
stances.
How sublime were the words of Moses
when pleading the cause of his people
before God Lord, [ pray thee 90
among us for it is a $tiB-ncched peo-
pie and pardon our iniquity and our
sin, ana take us for Thine inheritance" ;"
thus giving the stiff-neckedness as a
reason why Israel was worthy to become
the people Of the Lord
The Roman spies were very vigilant
in Watching the Jews in their religious
performances. When they heard the
noise of hand mill they suspected the
preparation of wood-powdcr for the pur-
pose of circumcision when they saw
lights in a jewish house they thought
that marriage ceremony was being
performed But the jewish doctors
found an opportunity to convene a San
hedrim, and to confer about the cardinal
principles of the law. 1t was in a gar
ret room in Nithsa a small town in
LYDIA, where r. Tarphon II. Akiba, r.
Jossi of Galilee, and other rabbis assem-
bled, and passed resolutions to the fol
lowing effect
Whereas, the study of the Torah
brings about a practical performance Of
its injunctions, and every religious per
formance endangers the life of jew
therefore resolved, that studying the
law is of more Importance than its prac-
teal performance, and that all its pre-
cepts may be disregarded where there is
danger of life except idolatry, murder,
and adultery, which an Israelite should
not commit, even if he is put to death
for abstaining from them
Such were the cardinal principles
unanimously adopted and adhered to in
that time, and we may glory in them in
our enlightened age. The rabbis of that
convention suffered martyrdom shortly
afterward, of which we are now to
speak.
