ISRAEL SUPREME COURT

SEPHARDIC CHIEF RABBI

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = The Is
rael Supreme Court has annuled
the recent election of Rabbi IT,
hak Nissim as Chief Rabbi of the
Sepharid Community of Israel.
The complaint had been brought
by private citizen who charged
Irregularities in the elections.
The government began urgent
preparations on bill to validate
the elections retroactively and re-
turn Rabbi Nissim to the post. In
a statement on the Supreme
Courts action, Deputy Minister
of Religion DR.. Zorach Warhaftig
expressed regret at the decision
and pledged that the government
would do everything possible to
have Rabbi Nissin's election con-
firmed.

"Sheva Berochos?"
ANSWER: The "Sheva Bero-
chos" are the 'seven blessings"
which are called "Birchas Mes
uin," the blessings of marriage.
They are the second set of bene-
dictions pronounced under the
marriage canopy at a Jewish we'd
ding. They are repeated at the
marriage feast after the ceremony
after the grace has been said in
public. Where quorum is present
each day of the week after the
marriage including some new
guests these blessings are again
recited after the meal.
X 4
QUESTION: Is there any reason
why the number of these blessings
is 2?
ANSWER: 1t is claimed that the
seven blessings are representative
of the seven canopies which the
Almighty made for Adam upon
his marriage to Eve in the Garden
of Eden. Others claim that they
correspond to the seven days of
the week following the marriage
which are considered happy days
and in which we ask the Lord to
help the couple to find supreme
happiness. Others claim that the
seven blessings refer to the seven
heavens, the seven planets or the
seven days of the week, which
might indicate the desire to bless
the couple with fullness in their
happiness. The number seven has
been taken to indicate the unity
of the Creator who used seven
days for the week of creation.
QUESTION:: What is the mean
ing of the seven blessings?
ANSWER: The first blessing is
the benediction over the wine.
The other six bring into focus the
creation of the world, the history
of the people of Israel and the
Messianic hope for supreme hap
piness in times to come. The audi
ence is reminded that all that is
created in this world is for the
glory of the creator. They are also
reminded that man is but the sub
ject which the Lord created, and
that man is created in the image
of the Almighty and that his ac-
lions must reflect this origin in
order to be proper. The hope is
then expressed that Jerusalem
shall be redeemed and happiness
shall reign in its midst as it reigns
at the wedding ceremony. The
Jewish couple is thus made to feel
that their lives are to be a holy
link in the chain of Jewish life
and the history of mankind.

ST. Francis Cunning
For Dayton in NIT
SemifinaIs Tonight
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 17.-Du-
quesne and Dayton are favored
to make it through tonight's
basketball semifinals into the
title showdown of the National
Invitation tournament. but little
st. Francis pa, the peoples
choice, just might make it tough
for the Ohio Flyers.
Duquesne. top-seeded when
the 12-team tourney opened Sat-
urday, makes its bid to reach the
championship game in opposing
Cincinnati after second-seeded
Dayton and st. Francis open the
Madison Square Garden double
header.
st. Francis is a newcomer to
tournament payoffs compared to
Dayton. Twice a runnerup in
the NIT, st. Francis hasn't got
this far in postseason COMPETE
ton since losing the Catholic
tourney title to Marquette in
1852.
A year ago st. Francis bowed
in the quarter finals, but not be-
fore its one-man gang, Maurice
Stokes. had won over the fans.
st. Francis still has the fans on
its side. particularly after Stokes
performance as his team beat
Seton Hall. 1918. and defending
champ Holy Cross. 1894.
st. Francis is up for this one.
After dropping Holy Cross Tues
day, Coach William (Skip)
Hughes made it plain where his
thoughts were.
Asked whether he preferred to
meet st. Louis or Dayton in the
semif1nals. he quipped back:
1--WE want Duquesne.
If st. Francis is to get the
Dukes, it will have to bag the
Daytons. which looks very diff
cult. The Flyers have the height
in T-foot Bill Uhl and 60
Johnny Koran. They also have
snappy Jack Sallee. who counted
80 points as Dayton overcame
st Louis Tuesday
Against the fourth-seeded
Cincinnati Bearcats, who twice
lost to Duouesne during the
regular season. the Dukes again
will have their one-two offense
of All-America Dick Ricketts,
and 81 Green. With that pair
on the beam. the Dukes should
have too much for Cincinnati's
