Town Compromises
On Anniversary Date

Bangor. 1,400-year-old town
In County Down, Northern Ire
land, has had to compromise
about its birthday celebration.
st. Comgall founded Bangor
Abbey, around which the town
grew, a few decades after the
death of st. Patrick.
History has it both in the
year SIS and $50, so the town
had to decide when to celebrate.
The compromise is likely to sat
isfy both schools of thought.
The celebration will begin in
1855 and go on, in various forms,
until 1858.

Today's Meaning of Shevuoth

Covenant was concluded with the
entire people of Israel. for all
time. It is. therefore. accurate to
state that Shevuoth does more
than recollect a past event: il is
an annual rededication and re-
affirmation with the Jewish faith
in God.
That, too, is why the story of
Ruth, considered by many liter
airy critics to be the finest short
story ever written, is read on the
holiday of Shevuoth. It is, first, a
tale that uses the end of the har-
vest as a backdrop for it's plot.
And, second, it focuses on a wo-
man who is a pagan, but who
finally embraces Judaism and
who, in time, is related to King
David. The story Of Ruth, in brief,
blends with the ingathering of the
harvest and with the acceptance
of the Law. 1t is a beautiful story,
and yet it is more than a mere
narrative; it carries overtones of
the Jewish faith and is bound up
with Jewish history, religious as
we'll as political.
Shevuoth. like Passover and
Succot. is a pilgrim feast. which
means that Jews travelled to Is
rael. to Jerusalem. TO mark the
festival. The harvest is the har-
vest in the sacred land Of Israel.
And the Lawgiving is the Law
which has kept the Jewish people
intact and forever developing.
Thus il can easily be seen that
Shevuoth has been inextricablY
bound up with Israel and with
Judaism. even when the State Of
Israel lay dormant through CEN
turies. Today. as Israel flourishes.
and harvests once more are joy
Gus events to the Israelis. Shev-
uoth takes its place in the Jewish
calendar. not as a minor event.
but as a major one. II is a COM
memoration which marks a high
point in the land of revived Israel.
and reaffirms the bonds which
connect Jews all over the world.
Such a holiday, involved. with
nature, with God, with the Jewish
people and it's connection to the
land, to its God and it's heritage,
will always remain important,
and will always be, in a very
true sense, a major holiday.

First. it is acknowledged that
that land which lies fallow and is
not worked cannot grow rich. The
land belongs to those who make
it live. Yet the labors of man are
not enough: the elements of rain

The harvest is renewed from year

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to carry the Torah preferably
in the right hand?
ANSWER: The Rabbits claim
that this can be based upon the
scriptural statement in the Book
of Deuteronomy where Moses de-
scribes the revelation of the Torah
by describing the Almighty at
Sinai with the statement, "At His
right hand was a fiery law unto
them" Deut. 1922. AS a whole,
the Jewish tradition calls for the
objects with which command
ments are to be performed to be
handled in the right hand. The
right hand being the stronger
hand indicates a stronger will. to
do the bidding of the Lord. Using
the left hand in holding the torah
or carrying it indicates a lack Of
regard and reverence for the Holy
Torah.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy not to leave the altar after
having been called up for an Ali
yah" until the next person has
been called up and has completed
the benediction which follows the
portion read for him?
ANSWER: Several reasons have
been offered for this custom. It
generally seems to be a matter of
disrespect to leave the Torah after
one has been summoned forth to
receive the honor of being called
up to it. Waiting at least until
the succeeding individual has
completed his benedictions indi-
Gates a lasting love for being near
the Torah. Some claim that this
comes from the days when each
person would read for himself. In
such a case, remaining until the
next reader appears to have fin
ished always assures the presence
of three at the Torah. Otherwise,
there might be only the two peo-
pie who stand at either side of the
Altar left until the next reader
arrived. 1t was always a custom
to have at least three people pres
ent at the altar when the Torah
was read.

QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to have at least three people
present when the Torah is read at
the altar?
ANSWER: When the Torah was
given at Mount Sinai there were
three active participants playing
their respective roles. These were
the Almighty, Moses and the peo-
pie of Israel. When the Torah is
being read in the synagogue a
Jew is supposed to feel the dra-
matte experience of the Revela-
ton at Sinai as if he himself re-
ceived the Torah from the Lord.
Thus the tradition insists on three
people being present at the altar
when the Torah is read to re-en-
act the original scene of the reve-
lation. Some consider this number
of three as a minor quorum, as it
is for saying the grace at meals,
to make sure that the word of
CD is not being read without
some sort of quorum in immediate
so that it is not the
business of an individual, but
rather the affair of the commu-
nifty.
