The Southern Jewish weekly., 1955-12-16

(Book of Joshua, Book of Salmuel)
there's reference to the use of
lots like dice. that is =. to
settle disputes, to determine what
God willed in one matter or an
other, to find out who might be
the guilty one in some case of
wrong-doing.
That way the practice started
but Jews don't become notable as
gamblers until about the 4th CEN
fury B. C. when they fell under
the influence Of Greek and Ro-
man civilization. The Talmudic
rabbis didn't like gambling at all:
their word for il was "kubYa." de-
rived from the Greek "kubeia''
which means dice-plaYing.
Simon Cohen, in the Universal
The Southern Jewish weekly., 1955-12-16

They are seldom spectacular
plungers but generally prefer
small stakes, particularly if the
game is among friends and in
wolves some degree of skill as
well as luck. Few Jews, however,
are professional gamblers nor can
it be said that their gaming
among themselves has reached
the proportions Of vice"
Well. I shall not argue with MIR.
Cohen one way or another but.
maybe. when he was speaking OF
Small stakes" he must have been
thinking Of me or gamblers like
me. When I was playing poker. It
was always pennY-ante and to
lose a quarter gave me pain. One
evening. though. I did win Is
cents after four hours Of hard
labor al the gaming table.
I end this story with this opin-
| ion: Both Bill Wobbe and Jack
Bogdan were right in the hot
room. AS Bill said, Jews are quite
the gamblers and, as Jack sug-
gested, there's an immense history

legal fight which ended in the
Court Of Appeals. Mr.. Zundel
was unseated by Mr.. Brandt in
the 1851 election.
