Ahad Ham and Cultural Zionisln

The centenary of the birth Of Ahad
Ham - pen-name of the Russian
Jewish writer Asher Ginzberg-which
occurred last week and which was
marked in Jewish cultural circles all
over the world-has served to re-
mind us once more of that movement.

round his waist before prayer?
ANSWER: 1t is known as a
"garteP and possibly has the same
derivation as our term "girdle."
Some sources consider this a
means of drawing a distinction
between that part of man which
is angelic and that which is hu-
man. This type of girdle distin-
guisheS between mans spiritual
sphere and his physical sphere.
Since prayer is a matter of the
spirit, tying this garment around
ones waist is meant to lift him
entirely into the spiritual sphere.
Some sources see in this custom
an emulation of the behavior of
the priest in the ancient temple.
One of his garments was a girdle.
He was not allowed to perform his
duty of offering the sacrifice be-
fore putting on this garment.
Every Jew who prays is consider
ed like priest who offers sacri-
flee since our prayers today take
the place of the original sacrifices.
A pious Jew thus ties this sash
around his waist to prepare him
self as the priest did in days of
old when serving in the temple.
QUESTION: Why is it custom
arY in some communities to bury
torn pages from holy books as
the first burial 10 take place in a
cemetery?
ANSWER; A number of reas-
ons have been suggested for this
practice. AS is well known, torn
pages from holy volumes as well
as the worn books themselves are
always buried in cemetery. This
practice is symbolic Of respect and
dignity as well as recognition that
it is not permitted to destroy them
and burial is the only proper way
to dispose Of them. In the case of
a new cemetery there is need to
declare the new plot as hallowed
ground. No better method could
have been devised than to have
holy pages buried there.
There might also have been a
practical, consideration. It was al
ways difficult to find the first
family which would allow its be-
loved to be buried there. 1t is re-
corded that it was even customary
at one time to slay rooster and
bury it as a first body. This prac-
tice was discontinued later. Hav-
ing the pages of the Holy Book
buried removes the fear of fam
lily about the first burial in the
cemetery. It also serves as a
symbol that the cemetery is not
being dedicated in anticipation of
human death but rather as rest
ing place for hallowed objects,
including the human corpse. Fur
thermore, we are impressed that
a deceased human is to be regard |
ed as leaf torn from the book of
life, which we are obligated to
store tenderly in the bosom of
Mother nature-the Earth of the
Lord.
