A Thought for Yom Kippur

During the Jewish New Year hOli-
day season, which reaches its climax
tomorrow with the observance of
YOm Kippur, the hOliest day of the
year, rabbis throughout the world are
calling for a return to the synagogue.
The head of the national organiza-
tion which represents all branches of
Judaism in the United States, in a
High Holy Day message to the Jewish
community, has called on the 5,5O0,O0O
Jewish men and women of this CONN

have been advanced for this Gus
tom. Among them are the follow
ing. Some claim that fish have
always been regarded as SYM
boil of plenty and of increased re-
production; eating fish on the
Sabbath would, therefore, be SYM
bolic of the promised multiplicity
among the children of Israel.
Others claim that fish at one time
was a rare delicacy in the East
and, since the best of foods was
set aside for consumption on the
Sabbath, fish was a Sabbath dish.
1t is also claimed that the eating
of fish on the Sabbath is traced
back to special characteristic of
the Mamma which came from
heaven as the food of the Israel
ties in the wilderness. One of the
Midrashim states that every kind
of taste could be felt when eating
the Mamma, except the taste of
fish. It became desirable on the
Sabbath to enjoy as many culi-
nary delights as possible, and thus
the taste for fish was quite a
rarity, it being absent in the
Mama.

QUESTION:: Why is the Torah
read in the synagogue on Satur-
day afternoon besides baiSg read
in She morning?
ANSWER: This is one of the
special ordinances decreed by
Ezra and the Scribe, according to
the Talmud (Baba Kama, 82a).
The Talmud explains that this
was done for the sake of the mer-
chants who were occupied with
their stores during the week and
did not have the chance to listen
to the reading of the Torah during
the week on Monday and Thurs
day mornings. Reading the Torah
on the afternoon of the Sabbath
at least gave them an opportunity
for one additional reading besides
that of the regular Saturday
morning reading.

QUESTION:: Why is it custom
arY to spill a little of the wine on
Saturday night from the cup over
which the Havdalah is said?
ANSWER: This is considered
sign of blessing. The Talmud
writes that a home where wine
isn't spilled like water is not one
of blessing. The meaning behind
this may be that this is a sign OF
plenty in the sense of an over
flowing cup. 1t may also be that
it is a sign that the members of
the household do not make fuss
over a little loss and trust to the
Almighty that their needs win be
taken care of by providence.

Heine once wrote that Judaism owed its
survival to eating-tO some of its dishes-like
chOlent of which Heine was extremely fond.
1t is conceivable that Jew might find it de-
sirable in some ways to be Buddhist, Con-
fucian or Presbyterian, but to forego Jewish
chOlent for that, seemed to be requiring too
great sacrifice That, in essence, was Heine's
argument.
Yom Kippur seems to disprove Heine's
