QUESTION: Is it true that in
some Jewish places women are
not allowed to be a part Of the
burial procession?
ANSWER: In the early customs
of Egyptian Jews, women did not
follow the funeral professions.
The Shulchan Aruch in the origi-
nal code does state that women
should be discouraged from at
tending funerals. The Zohar (Exo-
dus 1876 a, b. claims that women
bring about the recall of the
powers of Satan, who caused the
first sin which led to mans death
when he tempted woman.
Later writer's have offered two
practical reasons for keeping wo-
men away. One is that the grief
may be too much for them and
the other that cemeteries were at
times in deserted and far off
places where travel was often
dangerous. This restriction is not
adhered to amongst most of the
Ashkenazic Jews today. In some
places an attempt is made to sepa-
rate the women from the men.
*
QUESTION: Why does the final
procession TO the grave halt seven
times?
ANSWER: Two reasons have
been advanced for this custom.
One is that the seven stops are
made to represent the seven times
which the word vanity (HeveD is
mentioned in the Book of Ecles-
iates. This would lead one to re-
fleet, during each pause, how our
material pursuits in this life are
vanities.
Another reason claims that this
is done to represent the seven
things which are constant in this
world and 60 on with or without
us as long as the earth survives.
These are mentioned in Genesis
(Chapter 8, Verse 22). They are
"seed time and harvest, cold and
heat, summer and winter, day and
night" The last two are consider
ed as one, making the total seven.
The seven stops might thus be
considered a symbol of the con-
slant things which the deceased
leaves behind and which go on
after him.
Some claim that the seven stops
are opportunities for the process
sion to pause and lament over the
deceased. According to some,
these seven stops are made when
returning from the grave as a sign
of not rushing away from ones
dear one and perhaps as an op-
portunity to allow the mourners
a chance to pause and be consoled.

practically every good old Ameri-
can institution-today feels the
effect of television.
Almost three out Of four
American households have one
or more television sets. In
American Puerto Rico it has been
estimated there are more TV
sets than telephones.
On one hand, TV draws the
American family into the home.
At the same time, it sends the
family out into the world to
view in person the exciting ex-
periences so wildly protrayed in
this great new medium of COM
municationS.
Mother gains new peace while
the youngsters sit entranced
with the TV screen. The schools
gain a new means Of bringing
the outside world into the class
room and, at the same time,
sending the classroom right into

Of these bow to the influence of
TV. Most important of all, the
thoughts of the people in the
home, young and old, are nur-
tured from the silver TV screen.
Group Organized Here
Now, who "calls the turn" on
TV, on its programs, policies,
schedules and so on? Who says
what and when this powerful
new force shall do in the Ameri-
can home?
Those questions, and the re-
lated problems they suggest,
have bothered many an Amer
lean in the past few years. Equal
ly troublesome is the question of
what an average home television
viewer can do about it If he has
some ideas for the improvement
of TV.
In 1854, one small group of
home television viewers not TV
experts or professionals, Just
people with sets in their homes
began to wonder what could
be done, or ought to be done,
about TV and keeping it from
getting entirely out of hand.
The group still doesn't know
the answers, but their interest
led to the incorporation, in Feb
ruary, 1855, of the National As
ISOLATION Of Home Television
Viewers. The objective Of the as
ISOLATION was, and still is, in

Unlike some success stories,
the Association idea did not
catch on like wild-fire and mush-
room overnight. The I original
members did not want it to.
They reasoned that, to be of real
value, the association must be
truly independent, not a mouth
piece for some special group.
That is. unless IS million Tv
set owners are to be considered
ia special group.
To start a vast membership
campaign, or any practical mem
bership campaign. would require
operating capital. The associa-
tons founders, being just ordi-
nary people, had no grea
amount of capital to contribute.
To solicit and accept capital
from hackers" would be most
difficult without becoming be-
holden to those who furnished
the capital.
On Modest Scale
After two years of living with
the association idea, those of us
who started it have more faith
in the idea than ever. without
any membership campaign at all,
we find that word of mouth pub
licity and our listing in the tele-
phone book brings in Supporters
and members.
1t seems that everyone recog-
nizes the problem and the justice
Of giving the home viewer a voice
in what happens to television.
