OF the Jewish holidays. SuccOth
winds up in the very gala hilarity
OF Simchat TOrah. Well, there are
other joyous holidays. Purim is
also day of carnival joy, but it's
JOY is not the wholesome kind of
SuccOth. Purim marks the tri-
umph over an enemy. That is a
joy, but it is joy that at the
same time suggests pain. SuccOth
is JOY at merely being, the joy
that comes from the harvesting
of the fruits of the field, the Joy
of living, of labOring and loving.
1t is a more natural festival and
a more human festival. 1t is the
kind Of hOliday-the Thanksgiving
days-that every people live.
Jewish legend associates Jacob
with the founding of Succoth. At
first sight, this appears a not very
happy thing. Of the three He
brew patriarchs, Jacob is the least
glamorous. Abraham seems so
much more lofty, Isaac so much
more sanity. We search for spots
in them and cannot find them.
They seem to have been born for
distinction. But not so Jacob.
He is full of the ills of human flesh.
Let us take a look at his record.
But let's look more closely, as
God is supposed to look when he
weighs man in the scales. Let us
look as the psychologist does. The
psychologist asks why Jacob be-
haved as he did.
What does the record show?
The Biblical account tells us that
while Jacob "sat in his tents"
Esau was a man of action, beloved
of his father, for bringing home
the venisOn. Esau was the sue
cess, the eXtrOvert, the man of
action. He had a house in the
country, two automobiles and a
seat on the stock exchange. Jacob,
on the other hand, wore eye
glasses, used to borrow a lot of
books from the library and sit and
read them Gin the tents" His
father used to say to him "Why
don't you go out and make lot
of money like Esau?" The only
one to stand up for him was his
mother. She would take Jacobs
side, but her love was probably
more compassion than anything
else. We all love the successful
ones. She had pity on Jacob. She
knew that Jacob wasn't good for
much more than reading books
and that if he went out with his
gun to shoot a deer, the gun would
accidentally go off and he would
shoot himself. And yet to say
that Jacob is inferior is to miss
the truth. He has. it is true, an
inferiOrity complex, but an inferi-
ority complex is sometimes in
itself proof of kind of superior
ity. The doubts, the hesitancles
of man, while from one aspect
are a sign of weakness, at the
Same time show a thOughtfulness,
a sensitivity that the man OF
action lacks.
But one cannot live in a steady
climate of failure. Jacob learns
that he can sometimes hold back
the forces of this cruel world and
bring about a crude sort of justice.
Encouraged by his mother, Rebec-
"a he falls in with her plan to
