THE JEWISH QUIZ BOX
BY RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
Copyright 1896 Jewish Telegraphic Agency Inc)
BY RABBI SAMUEL J. Fo3

ANSWER: A varied number of
reasons are given for this custom.
Most fundamental of all seems
to be the reason derived from
the Talmudic (Berochot, 53)
which prohibits the pronuncia-
ton of a benediction over light
unless one derives some adVan-
tage therefrom. By looking at
his closed and at his opened
hands one sees the value Of the
light as distinguished from dark
ness, the condition under the
finger tips in the closed hand,
as we'll as deriving the benefit
of the light which enables him
to look at his hands. The moral
that might be considered involv-
ed in this is the Jewish insis-
tence that no man is to abstain
from taking advantage of the
intellectual light and culture of
the world. Since it was created
for his advantage man is obliged
to derive benefit from the light
of the world. The 'Maharam"
states the reason to be the in
ference of the fact that during
the Sabbath the hands Of man
were prohibited from doing any
manual labor while the close of
the Sabbath brings on the first
day of the week in which he is
allowed to use his hands. An
added moral in this sense, is the
to impress man with the
necessity of allowing the light of
morality and spirit to guide the
doings of his hands in their ev-
eryday endeavors. Other reasons
relate the importance of the cere-
mony to the fingernails them
selves. Thus Rev. Hal Gaon con-
Siders the nails in their unceas-
ing growth as symbol of the
prosperity which it is hoped the
week will bring. Others stress
that it is at the fingernails that
the blood, lie. the flow of life,
can be seen through the fingers.

"Anti-Semitism" AT Yale University

the students, (71%) believe that
the Jews should organize their
own Jewish organization on the
university campus. Only 1870
were opposed to such an organi-
cation and 14% were undecided.
The great majority of students
believe that Jews are not only
a religious but also a national
and cultural group and they
favor the establishment of a
Jewish national home in Pales-
tine; 27% are opposed to the
Zionist endeavor.
Jewish Education:
The Jewish students at Yale
apparently regret the inadequate
Jewish training that they have
received and the confused think
ing that is the unacceptable re-
suit of the lack of a well-round-
ed Jewish education.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1946-05-24
QUESTION: What is Havdalah?

ANSWER: The Havd a a h
(Which means separation or dis
tinction) is a prayer and cere-
mony marking the end of the
Sabbath. The idea behind it is
that of drawing a line between
the sacrednesS of the Sabbath,
or festival, on one hand and the
profane character Of the ordinary
Workday.
QUESTION:: What is the origin
of the interviewer strains of tai
low that go to make up the color
full Havdalah candle?
ANSWER: The candle or tap
er over which the blessing is
spoken must have at least two
wicks, giving two or more lights.
The reason for this is primarily
the reason for which the bene-
diction refers to the light in a
plural sense, lie. who creates
the lights of fire" The reason
for the latter would tend to i'm
ply that the Talmulists already
were aware of the different col
orS of the spectrum that are to
be seen in one beam of light.
The talmud (Berocot, 52) claims
that many flames Cor shades, or
lights are to be seen from one
light. For this reason the subject
of light was treated in plural
and the Havdalah candle was to
have more than one wick. This
would also explain the basis of
the many colored strains of tai
low that are woven with each
other to make the colorful ap-
pearance of the special candle
used for the ceremony.
QUESTION: Why is it custo-
mary to open and close the hands
and to gaze at the fingernails
holding them up to the Havda-
lab light while pronouncing the
benediction of light at the Hav-
dalai ceremony?

(From a recent survey

" AOAAA - OS(AAO SOA NSJ/
Anti-Semitism is by far the
most vital and the most annoy
ing problem in the lives Of the
Jewish students at Yale Univer-
sity.
500 of them felt that Ameri-
can Jews must organize them
selves to fight anti-Semitism.
1870 felt that organized COM
batting of anti-Semitism will
only tend to increase the hatred
toward the Jews.
In line with this awareness
of anti-Semitic discrimination,
of which they are well aware
on the university campus, but
in obvious contradiction to their
stand on the problem of mixed
marriages and on the question
of continuity of Jewish existence,
an overwhelming majority of
