Expects Okoy
Of Reporotions
In January

TEL AVN (JTA) - The belief
that the West German Bundestag
would ratify the Israel-Gernan
reparations agreement in Janu-
ary and that the first goods under
the agreement will reach Israel
in February was expressed by DR..
F. Shinnar, on his return from
West Germany where he made ar
rangements to set up the Israel
Purchasing Mission.
(The West German Govern
ment is not too perturbed over
the Arab League threats of an
economic boycott if the Israel
reparations agreement is honored
because it hopes that the ARAB
countries will hardly be so blind
to their own interests as to sever
relations with a customer who al
ready buys from them twice as
much as she SELLS" the London
Times reported this Week.)

Israel Rejects
Arab Demand

TEL AVN (JTA) - Israel re-
jected a new Arab demand for
enlargement of the Palestine Con-
ciliation Commission and for re-
affirmation by the UN General
Assembly of the commissions
role in promoting repatriation of
Palestine Arab refugees. T h
Arab move and the Israel reply
came during a week marked by
many developments in Arab-Is-
rael relations and renewed re-
ports that President-elect Dwight
D. Eisenhower would take active
steps to promote peace in the
Middle East.
The Arab states had circulated
a resolution in the General AS
sembly calling for increase in the
Palestine Cancellation Commits
sion from three states to seven,
return of its headquarters to Je-
rusalem and reaffirmation by UN
that the commissions primary
task was the repatriation of the
Arab refugees.

QUESTION: What does the
term "Bar-Mitzvah" actually
mean? IA. L. T.. Augusta. GAY
ANSWER: The term "Bar-
Mitzvah" is accepted today as
meaning that a boy has reached
the age where he is directly re-
sponsible for the upkeep of relig-
ious obligations and the Com
mandments. Technically the ex-
preston is made up of two
words. Bar" means "son" and
''Mitzvah" means Command
ment." The implication is that
the lad is mature enough to ac-
cept responsibility for the Com
mandments of the Lord.
QUESTION: When did this
term make its first official ap-
pearance as such?
ANSWER: There has been
some interesting research done to
investigate this question. The
critics usually like to assign the
date of the fourteenth century
to the origin of this term as such

significance and the ritual was
attached thereto. The Mishnah
(Aboth Oh. So states that one who
is Is years old is liable for Mitz-
voth. The statement reads ben
Sholosh Esray Lemitzvoth." This
might be taken as an indirect
reference. At any rate the Mish-
nah is much older than the four
teenth century.
Some claim the origin of the
term is found in the Midrash.
Others trace it back to the thir-
teenth century to the famous au-
thor of the "Or Zorua." Inter-
esting is the fact that some early
Rabbinic masters used a term
'Bar-O nshin" which means a
"son of Punishment" This would
indicate that a son of that age is
liable for punishment if he vio-
lates the Commandments. It is
easy to see why the Rabbis pre-
ferred the term ''Bar-Mitzvah" in
later years. Evidently its termi-
nology was more appealing than
a similar term which would men

QUESTION: What is the bless
ing which the father makes at
his sons Bar Mitzvah? Is. E..
Jacksonville. Fla.)
ANSWER: This is the famous
''Boruch Sheptorani" whic h
means BLESSED (be the Lordl
who has excused me from the
punishment of this Qad)."
QUESTION:: Why is this done?
ANSWER: Two reasons are adj
vanced. One states that the ia
ther is punished for the sins of
his children until they are Bar
Mitzvahed. Thus he is relieved of
this punishment and thanks
CD for it. The 'Levush" claims
that the son is sometimes pun
ished for the sin of the father
'and that the father thanks CD
his sins will not fall upon the son
anymore. 1t is mentioned in one
source that according to some il
was once customary for the son
to make this blessing and to say
he thanks the Lord for being
excused from the responsibility
of being punished for the sins OF
his father.
