is interesting to note that the
priests were taught a great moral
lesson with this custom. No man,
even the priest, could achieve
degree of holiness all by himself.
He must have the assistance of
others. Thus the Priest had to
receive the water from the Levite
before his hands were washed.

QUESTION:: Why did the
Priests hands require washing
before the ceremony of benedic-
ton? Is. T.. Montgomery. Ala.)
ANSWER: The Shulchan Aruch
(Code of Jewish Law explicitly
states that even though the
priests already had their hands
washed in the morning they must
still have them washed as prep
aration for the rite of benediction.
Besides assuring the fact that his
hands were pure it was a means
of impressing upon him that he
was preparing for a special cere-
mony. Impressive too is the fact
that it taught him that raising
his hands" over the people of Is
rael required special purity in
order to qualify them for this
purpose.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy for a Levite to wash the
hands of the priest before the ira
ditional ceremony of the Blessing
of the Priests that takes place in
the synagogue during holidays?
IL. D.. Birmingham. Ala.)
ANSWER: This custom is
found in the Zohar Commentary
on the Bible (Zohar: Noso) where
the KabbaliSt writes: "The priest
who is about to spread forth his
hands needs an inflow of holiness
in addition to his own; he must
therefore have his hands washed
by one who is in himself holy,

ten "And thouAshalt sanctify the
Levites." The Priest cannot have
his hands washed by another

QUESTION:: Why is it that
upon some occasions more than
one scroll is taken out of the Holy
Ark for the Torah reading?
"a. r.. Birmingham. Ala.)
ANSWER: While it is true that
all the large scrolls in the ark
contains the same scriptures, e. i.
the Five Books of Moses, upon
occasions when the Sabbath coin
cides with the beginning of the
New month, or upon a festival
when more than one section is
read from the Scroll, a special
Scroll is used for each individual
section. The reason for this is OBJ
vlouSly so that the congregation
be spared the hesitation of the
interval of time necessary in
order to roll the Scroll from one
section to the other. The custom
to use several Scrolls is mention
ed in the Talmudic as well as in
the Post-Talmudic literature. It

therefore, makes his condition
worse. Sometimes he suppresses
all feeling. only to have it break
out months or even years later
in more acute and painful form.
Sometimes the patient is alarmed
by thoughts of suicide, by the
feeling that he is going insane or
by developing sudden hostile atti-
tudeS toward those around him.
/ What can you do? IF your SYM
toms are severe, get the help Of
your physician; but the permiA-
nent solution depends on three
steps, DR.. Lindemann believes.
You must gradually emancipate
yourself from emotional bondage
to the deceased; you must read
just yourself to surroundings in
which the loved one Is missing,
and you must form new relation
ships.
Religious agencies are of great
help to those who are able to
accept them. Talk things out
fully with your clergyman and
others, Mrs. g. You have to &C
|cept the pain Of bereavement and
work out new adjustments, create
new relationships, find for your
self new tasks. You must be ac-
tive, not passive. Psychiatrists
call this process "grief work"
which emphasizes the fact that
it Is really work-and it is work
which you must do for yourself.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. lost their only
son in Korea. There doesn't
seem to be much to live for now" |"
Mrs. G. writes. "You have stressed
the need for bereaved persons to
express their grief freely. Good
ness knows my husband and /
have done that! But the terrible
and unexpected outcome is our
feeling of guilt. We can't help
thinking that our son would never
have joined the service If we had
been better parents and If we had
made him happier at home"
That feeling of guilt (almost
always unjustified) is one of the
most distressing results Of be-
reavement. and very common. Mrs.
G. Your boy doubtless would
have been drafted if he had not
volunteered: but I realize that
such logic does not comfort very
much. nor remove the diSheart-
ening symptoms.
The picture shown by persons
IN acute grief is very uniform"
Psychiatrist Erich Lindemann
noted in describing his expert
ences with bereaved persons.
Common to all of them is a SEN
sation of distress occurring in
waves lasting from 20 minutes to
an hour at a time, a feeling of
tightness in the throat. choking
with shortness of breath, need for
signing, and an empty feeling in
the abdomen, lack of muscular
power and an intense subjective
distress described as tension or
mental pain. The patient soon
learns that these waves of dis
comfort can be precipitated by
visits, by mentioning the deceased,
and by receiving sympathy" so
