QUESTION: Who were the
Essences?
ANSWER: The Essences COM
posed one of the three major sects
In Jewish life during the time of
the development of the Talmud.
Their history began in the time
of the Hasmoneans. And it is
claimed that their origin comes
from the "Chassidim" who fought
against the Graeco-Syrians under
the banner of Judah Maccabee.
The Essences became known for
their extreme piety and separa-
ton from the physical pleasures
OF life. They strived to avoid any
kind of. impurity for the body.
Many refrained from marrying.
They avoided meat and wine. Be
cause of such extreme practices
they became extinct and even
today little is known about them
save from the writings of
JoSephus and one or two other
historians. Their significance is
coming to light in recent years
since some scholars claim that the
Dead Sea Scrolls describe their
sect.

QUESTION:: What does tn
lame Essences" mean?

QUESTION:: What does the
name Essences" mean?
ANSWER: The meaning of this
name is not altogether clear.
Josephus apparently gave them
this name. Some writer's claim
that the name means modest"
Others claim that it means "shy."
Some even claim that the name
m cans "healers" because the
Essences devoted themselves to
healing the sick.
QUESTION:: Who were the Sad
ducees?
ANSWER: The Sadducees COM
posed another sect of Jews during
the time of the development of
the Talmud. They are said to be
the followers of the misconcep-
tions of Zadok and Boetus, the
latter being pupils of Antigonos of
Socho. Some claim that they were
the descendants of the Zadok
family which was a part of the
priestly aristocracy. Their cardi
nal deviation from the accepted
Jewish tradition was their rejec-
ton of the Oral Law as an author
itative basis for Jewish behavior.

Jewish journalism a never TO
be forgotten story: The way pen
niless immigrants made good for
themselves and good for Judaism
in the U. S. My father liked TO
point out TO me the storeroom on
Sixth street where one of our
first congregations he was
charter member established
its synagogue and installed the
Scrolls Of The Law.
Long, long later, he liked to
point to the co1umned synagogue
in one of the suburbs; it was the
successor of the storeroom schul
he had attended in the beginning
its lovely lawn in front, its
stained glass windows. (The fam
lily had dedicated one of these
windows to the memory of our
mother)
YES" my father said. this
about tells the story of Jewish
life in America. and isn't the
story about the best of the whole
history Of the Jews" He gave
me wink But tell me-" he
added. docs Jewish life really
mean. as much TO people as it did
in our synagogue in that \store-
room long ago?"
My father started out as a
peddler, never grew rich, but he
had enough to bring up the seven
children right ;. "And that's the
whole thing, isn't it?" he liked to
say.
And that's the American. Jew
ish life about which I prefer TO
write. The beginning of it is his
tory. but its abundance continues
in all its works. It has built great
institutions of charity and Jewish
education; its people are in the af-
fairs of the civic communities and
of the nation. It participates big
in the nations economy: its
young men are important in the
sciences and invests millions
toward the making of Israel.
Isn't all that most worthy OF
the exclusive concern of a Jewish
reporter whose heart embraces
also Israel in it's consciousness OF
Jewish life but whose eyes keep
looking around eagerly among
the neighbors right here. It's a
great story. The center of Jewish
life for us is in America, not in a
far-off distance.
Not that there aren't faults. too
among US. as well as considerable
grandeur. There are those of US
who care more about Cadillacs
than about Jewish dedication
there are Jewish groups that gel
into quarrels about nothing at all
such as prestige. But then such
delinquents belong to the whole
human race.
Well, that's the answer, Mr.. E
S. of Los Angeles, and there's still
so much for Jewish life to be
doing in these U. S. to make it.

the Maryland delegation, who
insisted that his name not be
published. said he had been in
formed by a source close to
the national administration
that President Eisenhower would
be willing to accept any of five
men as his running mate for
the vice presidency, including
Gov. McKeldin.
The Maryland delegate said
his source identified the other
four acceptable candidates as
Vice President Nixon, former
Gov. Dan Thornton of Colorado,
Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of WASH

garet Chase Smith of Maine.
Asked if he would prevent his
Maryland supporters from put
ting his name in nomination
next week for the vice presi-
dency, Gov. McKeldin said he's
not SO sure now that he would
stop such a move.

II would be happy to be one
of those nominated for the vice

sisted that Vice President Nixon
should be renominated.
Nevertheless. Gov. McKeldin
and his Maryland hackers have
never given up hope that he still
might have a chance for the
