QUESTION: why IS song
about Elijah the Prophet usually
sung on Saturday night?.
ANSWER: Elijah the Prophet
is additionally considered the one
who will appear to bring tidings
of the coming of the Messiah.
This is generally based upon the
passage at the end of the book of
Malachai where the prophet pro-
phesies that the Lord will send
ELI all the Prophet. The
Talmud (Babli, Erubin ABB pre-
diets that Elijah will not come on
the eve of the Sabbath because
the people are busy preparing for
the Sabbath. Therefore the end
of the Sabbath presents the first
chance for Elijah to appear. Since
a Jew must be prepared to accept
him at any time, it therefore is
customary to begin singing about
him at the exit of the Sabbath in
traditional expectation Of his
coming.
Another explanation offered for
this custom is a fanatic source
which claims that every Saturday
evening, Elijah sits under the
Tree of Life in the Garden of
Eden and records the virtues of
those who keep the Sabbath.
Those who keep the Sabbath
know that their credit is being
recorded by Elijah and they
therefore sing his praises.
Other sources relate that Elijah
posts himself at the Gates of &C.
henna on Saturday night and at
tempts to prevent the Gehenna
from taking back some of the
prisoners it has released for the
Sabbath; especially those who are
circumcized. Since Elijah tries to
save victims from returning to
He'll on Saturday night his praises
are sung aloud as a sign of our
faith in him.

QUESTION: What is a Bat
Lana"
ANSWER: A "Batlan" is cur
rently used as a colloquial ex-
preston to denote a person who
is either unemployed or not
handy for employment. The term
comes from a root meaning "to
void" or ''nullify." It once had
an evelated Importance, because
there was time when ten peo-
pie were selected who would not
accept employment and devoted
their full time to synagogue and
community affairs. These were
the basis of the required quorum
of ten males who made up the
Minyan. So important were they
at one time that it became a GUS
tom to establish the number ten
as the minimum number of verses
read from the Torah on weekdays
in honor of these ten men who
gave up their means Of employ
ment to serve the needs Of the
community.

O'Brya,,t Tells
Truman Of
School Trends

Horace O'Bryant, Supervisor of
Public Instruction, in his speech
Tuesday night to the parents and
teachers present at the Truman
P. T. A. meeting. stressed import
ant factors in the future develop
ment of education facilities in our
community.
"The greatest problem facing
the school board" he said, ''is
keeping up with the baby CROP"
This past year there were 1900
infants born in Monroe County
which means that six years from
now adesuate classrooms must be
provided for these future first
graders.
O'Bryant then went on to say
that even if these classrooms were
provided for this anticipated group,
it would mean nothing unless there
were competent teachers to carry
out the education program.
"Your classroorns are only as
good as your teachers, and unless
more attention and recognition is
given those men and women, many
will feel it a thankless job and
turn to some more satisfying pro-
feSsion," he stated.
In quoting some ways in which
teachers should be recognized in
the community O'Bryant stressed
the importance of making them
feel welcome in our social and CT
vic groups. The teaching profess
sion is significant one, and most
of US have forgotten that at one
time so much respect was accord
ed a teacher that the whole class
room stood when the teacher en-
tered the room. This honor is still
due those who are the leaders of
our children.
A recent group attended the
meeting, showing that, as O'Bry-
ant pointed out, there is a grow
ing trend of interest toward the
parent teacher relationship.
After this interesting program,
the hospitality committee invited
everyone to the first floor where
refreshments and a social hour fol-
lowed.
The room count for the meeting
was won by Mrs. Kearns' LIST grade
and Mrs. Cochran's 4th grade.
