claims that the fruits of the tree
are judged on the Shavuoth holi-
day, and that the placing of green
colors in the synagogue reminded
the workshippers of this day of
judgment. Others associate this
custom with what took place at
Sinai on the day that the Torah
was given to the people of Israel.
The entire mountain side was a
beautiful green carpet of grass.
QUESTION: Why is the Book
of Ruth read in the synagogue
on the Shavuoth festival?
ANSWER: Many reasons are
suggested for this custom. The
season of the opening verses of
the Book of Ruth is the harvest
season which occurs just about
the time of the Shavuoth festival.
The book, which describes in
beautiful detail ancient Hebrew
life at this time of year, is indeed
the one fitted for this festival.
Some suggest that the Book of
Ruth is read because it tells of
proselyte accepting the faith of
Israel.
Shavuoth, being the day upon
which we received the Ten Com
mandments, was therefore the
day on which we all, like Ruth
the proselyte, accepted the faith
of Israel. Others claim that it is
read because Shavuoth is the an
niversary of the death of King
David. The book of Ruth traces
the predecessors of King David
from Ruth, his ancestor.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to decorate the synagogue in
green at the Shavuoth festival
occurring this year on May ~
and 23rd?) IT. Y" West Palm
Beach. Fla.)
ANSWER: A number of reas-
ons are advanced for this custom.
Some link it to a historic occur
renee. In the days of the Tenn
pie, Shavuoth was the holiday
when the first fruits were
brought to the Temple. They
were brought to the Altar and
were bedecked with leaves and
flowers. Today the synagogue
takes the place of the Temple
and we decorate the synagogue.
In some synagogues in Israel the
sexton provides each worshipper
with fragrant plants, so that each
resembles the pilgrim of old
bringing his fruit offering.
Another reason is associated
with Talmudic tradition which

Focal point of the discussions

the Z.O.A. in Florida and consid-

Approve Betting
For Pickaway
County, S Fair

In surprise ..loNe Tuesday
night, PickaWay County fair board
approved pari-mutueI betting at
the county fair next summer. The
approval came When the fair
board President Frank Fisher cast
the deciding ballot to break a : 5
tie.
Although pafi-mutuel betting
has been discussed quietly for
many years, Tuesday nights vote
was the first official ballot taken
by the board.
Fair officials anticipate they
will net $4,000 from the nine races
scheduled the first three days of
the fair, beginning July 81.
Last November county voters
defeated by about 2 to / a $4,000
bond issue to build race track
grand stand. Fair board spokes-
men said they believed opposition
pivoted on the fear that legalized
betting would be introduced.
