A TOLERABLE PERIOD FOR
THE JEWS OF ARAGON.

troubled and strife-torn relgns of
Pedro the Cruel and his half-brother
Henry of Trastamara in CASTLE,
period that brought the Jews of that
kingdom foretaste of the evils that
were soon to overwhelm all the Jews
of the peninsula, was the long reign
of Pedro " of Aragon (133o-138O,
during which the Jewish subjects
enjoyed a condition of tranquility
and comfort as compared with the
position of their brethren in the
neighboring kingdom.
Pedro's reign marks an epoch in
the history of Aragon. He was a
man of great willpower and strength
Of character and as INSCRIPTIONS and
remorseless in his dealings as most
kings of those days, especially those
Of Spain. His main object was to
break the power of the mobiles, to
centralize the governmental authori-
tv of the entire kingdom in his own
hands. And he proceeded to the &C
complishment of this result with
ruthless force that overpoWered all
resistance. Members of his own
family suffered from his pltlless
tyranny as much as the other mobiles
of his kingdom. But unlike his con-
temporary and name sake of CASTLE,
he tempered his despotic will with
the cunning of Machiavelli.
During his reign the Jews of Ara
con were neither as poor, nor as OPP
pressed and demoralized as were the
Jews of Castillo In contrast with
the utter intellectual darkness that
had overtaken the Jews of CASTLE.
which was the natural result of their
material condition, some rays OF
light were still perceptible in Ara
CON There we find the men of
learning and spiritual power who
during this period exercised great in
huence over large circles, and worked
most ardently for the welfare OF
Jews and Judaism. Three Of them
are worthy of special notice.
Chasdai Crescas, born in 1910, who
lived first in Barcelona, and then in
Saragossa, was a great Talmud1c
scholar, and a philosopher of strik-
ing originality. He was disciple
of the Talmudist and philosopher
Nissim ben Reuben, and was in turn
the teacher of the noted scholar and
thinker, Albo. He was highly es-
teemed even by prominent non ews,

ScON lliS IIN1 oNNNttlollo dlO consequent
sufferings to which even the most
popular and worthy Jews were at
that time subjected by the caprice
of the ruler or the populace. He
was at one time imprisoned upon
false accusation, and suffered per-
sonal indignities. Some years later
he lost his only son who fell martyr
for his religion.
Yet Crescas' faith did not allow
his spirit to be broken by these mis-
fortunes. He devoted himself assid-
uously to his studies and labors, and
gave to his coreligionists the ripe
fruits of his thought in two works for
which he is best known: "The Re-
futation Of the Cardinal Principles
of the Christians and "The Light
of the Lord" The contents Of the
first are sufficiently indicated by its
title. In dispassionate, dignified
manner he contrasts the reasonable
ness of Jewish doctrines with the
perplexing difficulties of the dogmas
of Christianity. 1t was to serve as
a weapon against ewish apOstates
who showed their zeal for their new
by attacking their old religion.
His Light of the Lord" is phil
osophic presentation of the contents
of Judaism 1t is similar to Mai
monides' "Guide of the Perplexed,'
except that Crescas does not seek to
reconcile Judaism with Aristotelian
philosophy. On the contrary, he
tries to prove that Aristotle is not a
trustworthy guide in matters of re-
lieion, and to establish his theology
on firm philosophic foundation
without the aid of foreign un- ewish
speculatiOns. His work is all the
more important in the history of
philosophy because of it's influence
on the thought and system of Spin
oza. Crescas died in 141O.
Isaac ben Sheshet (Ribash) was
born at Valencia IN 1870. lie settled
early in life in Barcelona, where he
studied under the leading teachers
of that day, among them the RAN"
and became great Talmudic author
ity. Together with Crescas and
other prominent members of the
community he was thrown into pris-
on and then acquitted of the charge
brought against them. Further
trouble and grief came to him thru
the death of his brother and his SON
in-law. and the dissensions in the
community of which he was rabbi

CRATE and settled at Algiers, Africa.
Fate, however, pursued him there
too, and he encountered the hostili
ty of the spiritual leaders Of that
community who looked upon him as
a rival and intruder. But the mass
Of the Jews held him in high esteem
and veneration, and pilgrimages to
his tomb at Algiers are still made
on the anniversary of his death.
His literary work consists of Az
Response considered of great halak
hic value by later rabbinic authori-
ties, and of great historic Importance
for that period in the life of our peo-
pie. Though mild and kindly by
nature, he was most rigorous in en-
forcing the observance of every Jew
ish custom and precept. He disap-
proved of the study of Aristotle and
other philosophers whose ideas con-
travened the doctrines of Judaism.
He was equally adverse to the teach
ings of the Kabbala as un-JeWish.
He died in 1903.
Different in character from these
two was the third of our men of note
in that period, Chayim ben Gallipapa,
rabbi of Huesca and Pampeluna. He
was a nationalist at a time when
even men of such unquest1Oned ORTIZ
odOxy as Maimondes and Gersonides
were censured or criticised for what
were considered unorthodOx ideas
and opinions in their writings. Cha
vim was remarkable for his broad
tolerance and liberalism in matters
of Jewish law and doctrine. Nothing
was more firmly rooted in the plOus
convictions of the people than the
belief in the Messiah. Maimonides
had made it one of his thirteen ar
ticles of faith Ben Galipapa. how
ever set aside this doctrine, and was
not afraid to spread his view Of it
broadcast. He wrote book to prove
that the prophecies of Isaiah and the
visions of Daniel, commonly inter
preted as referring to the coming
Messianic redemption, had long ago
been fulfilled in the days of the Mac
cabees. That such man was not
in favor with the other rabbits of his
day, goes without saying.
Such were the leading spirits
among the Jews of Aragon on the
eve of the great catastrophe that was
soon to befall the Jews of the lberian
peninsula, and turn the land of their
former pride into valley of desola-
ton and tears for them

r y South Africa the farmers have
difficult time to keep them
selves from being eaten out Of
house and home. not by ra hbits as
in Australia and California, but by
balloons. These tail-swinging pests
thrive and increase so quickly and
wreak such great havoc among the
crops that the poor farmers are fire.
auently compelled to set aside one
day for terrible retTibution upon
them.
1t was my fortune. the second day
after arriving at my friends farm. to
be awakened long before daybreak
to take part in one OF these haboon
wars. In the blackness. lust before
dawn. we rode out along the country
side. and the first faint indication OF
the rising sun showed us a mountain
rising sheer from the road-one of
these cottage-loafed hills the South
Africans call "krantz." | was told
that above us in the trees innumer-
able balloons were sleeping.
The negro beaters began to light
the little fires that had been built
oii the lOp llt
on every side, except that free side
where the hunters waited. Suddenly.
when all the fires were blazing, the
beaters began to veil and close in
through the woods. Then the bab-
oons began to creep into sight.
Instantly four or five guns were
leveled at the leader. and with their
reports and his death the "krantz"
seemed TO disGorge baboons. From
every side they came. leaping and
running down the hill. Two passed
me not a yard distant. and ! was too
amazed to get them. | never have
seen creatures so swift and so sur
prisingly quick at lodging through
woods.
But what my newness cost IN lost
trophies the others made uD for. and
the monetary gain of the day to the
poorer farmers was certainly not
trining. The government pays about
IS cents for each baboon tail deliv-
cred to its representative.
