WOU1O O1l1lS Lie answers 10 the
mourners' questions. It would do
more-it would reveal the basic
principles of human dignity, social
democracy and the belief in eter-
nifty on which are based the many
customs of our faith.
1t discusses and gives the jew
ish practice concerning euthanasia,
autOpSieS, cOrnea tranSference
from the dead to the blind, and
the like. Cremation, disinterment,
embalming are all dealt with in
addition to the traditional cere-
monies attendant upon visiting the
sick, the burial of the dead and
the observance OF mourning.
Undertakers, through ignorance
or under the pressure of good
business" have deserted and @de-
stroyed many of the sacred laws
and the sanctified customs of our
faith.
American Israel stands in need
of informative Jewish bOOks-nOt
books of sermons, not books filled
with elOquence, but books which
will teach great ideals through
simple deeds and give spiritual
strength through humble practice.
Israel needs books which will show
way out of the confusion of
modern thinking" into tthe clar-
iy of action.
The Bible relates that the High
Priest Hilkah found, in the time
of King Hosiah, neglected copy
of the Torah scroll in the crumb-
ling temple. That Book of God
with its commandments, testi-
monies and statutes revolutionized
the country. The idols of half a
dozen pagan PHILOSOPHERS are shat
tered. A people, fast deterioriat-
ing into pagan PHILOSOPHERS, found
purpose, duty and a pattern of
living.
Purpose, duty and a pattern of
living are what Judaism offers to
Israel. Much of the confusion,
dissatisfaction and contradiction in
our day is the result of a failure
to find again the "lOst book" of
authority and to establish it as
the foundation of daily living.
Perhaps this book "a Compend-
ium on Mourning" is symbolic of
revival of authority in Jewish life.
Jews and Jewesses who have long
gone astray from the paths of
Judaism make serious attempt
to return when death comes into
their midst. Rabbi Greenwald,
therefore, utilized this attachment
to Jewish tradition and compiled
this book in order to clarity classic
Jewish law and reestablish anthem
tic Jewish customs surrounding
death. Books of this nature deal
ing with all phases of Jewish life
will be eagerly welcomed by the
new modern American Jewish gen
Grafton that is looking for a clear
and authoritative answer to their
problems.

The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1948-02-27

The younger American Jew, de-
scended from these immigrants
and DESTROYS of maintaining Jew
ish tradition, found himself at
times in maze of contradictory
customs. AS far as the funda-
mental Jewish laws were concern
ed no problem was created, for the
Torah is eternal and remains the
same for all Jews irrespective of
the countries they inhabit.
This is particularly true of the
laws of mourning and the laws
concerning the burial of the dead.
Since death is a subject which
lends itself to superstitiOns, it be-
came difficult even for the modern
ordained Rabbi to "sift the chaff
from the wheat" to distinguish
customs founded upon Jewish law
and tradition from customs that
are carry-over from the super
stitiOns INDECENT to the countries
from which they emanated.
"What shall I do?" was always
basic question asked of a Rabbi.
Recently Rabbi Y. G. Greenwald
of Columbus, Ohio, published in
Hebrew "Compendium on Mourn
ing" ("Kol 30 L'Availuth") which
can be of great help to the Rabbi
and layman. The Compendium
of Mourning" should be translated
into English and widely dissemin-
ated. This 414-page compendium
is practical, modern and all in
elusive. In it is the description
of the classic observance of mourn
ing by the Jewish people, an OBJ
servance which is free from the
chaff of superstition. It would be
a fine gift for a family in mourn
ing, when no other token of SYM
pathy is appropriate. During the
week of the traditional "Shivah'-
the week of mourning when Jewish
law does not even permit the
to study Torah because
at gladdens the heart"-this book
would be read and studied. It

Judge Mathes later dismissed the
