is to tender to our spiritual and

abolish the concept that because a
man is a business success, he nee
essarily is a scholar and inter-

need the business men to handle

we need the rabbi to inspire our

perpetuating the teachings of
Torah. The two functions are
separate and apart, having moth

on what it portends. It ought not

Why Rabbis Leave Home

membership of the ordinary trade
union. Part of this is due to the
illusion that the rabbinate is an
exalted calling. and not subject to
the customary rules and regula-
tions governing the hiring and
firing of professional men. With
out arguing this point-and we
fully agree that most certainly it
is not an ordinary type of job
the reality is that the rabbi is en-
titled TO the same protection. job
tenure. dignity. and peace-of-
mind. that is today accepted as the
natural right Of every working
American. The rabbi ought to
know that as long as he does his
job he will have complete secur-
itY: that he will be able to earn
decent living. provide for his fam
lily. and not be subjected to the
whims and dictates of the sYna-
gogue's board. Furthermore. he
ought to have the assurance that
if his rights are ignored. the entire
rabbinate will come TO his aid. It
is ridiculous to assume that the
men who hire and pay the rabbi.
are of a special mold who can be
counted upon TO do the right thing
automatically.
Anyone who has the slightest
understanding of what is actually
happening within American Jew
ry today, would have to agree that
our future depends to large ex-
tent upon our ability to solve this
problem. If we continue along the
present path, we can practically
guarantee that only those untitled
for any other profession, will be
attracted to the rabbinate, and
that its standards and status will
steadily decline. Men of character
and ability will shy away. On the
other hand, if we hope to attract
the finest among our people to
this noblest of all callings, we will
have to clothe it with the respect
and dignity it merits. We will
have to change our concept of the

raise funds. Most lay leaders feel
that they are paying the rabbits
salary, and they are entitled to
call the tune.
This situation. of course. is no
different from what prevails in
every other aspect of contempor-
arY American Jewish life. The
only thing that counts is the guy
with the buck" The scholar. the
thinker. the pious man-whether
rabbi or not-is regarded with
pity. as being too idealistic to
understand that the important
consideration is being able to
write check.
The tragic fact is also, that the
rabbis themselves have done little
if anything to redeem the situa-
ton. In the first place, as an over
all group, they have done very
little to halt the spread of Check

this assertion before, only to be
accused of "rabbi-baiting." We
therefore, again suggest that if
any of our readers know of any
instances in which the local rabbi
consistently combats this disease,
we would appreciate knowing
about him so that we can bring it
to public attention.

Pas+eurized Milk In Bottles

Until a few months ago, milk
in Israel was sold by street vend-
ors, who went from house to house,
pouring out milk from large canis-

pans. The milk was exposed to the
heat of the day and the dust of the
streets.
In addition, the unusual taste of
the milk, which had to be boiled
before it was safe for drinking
purposes, did not encourage regul-
ar consumption. Now, of course,

Archaeologis+
Nears Negev
S+udvFinish

DR.. Nelson Glueck, president of
Hebrew Union College Jewish In
stitute of Religion and noted Bibli-
cal archaeologiSt who discovered
King Solomon's copper mines and
his Red Sea port of Ezion-Geber,
is completing his fifth and final
summer of a mile-by-mile explora-
ton of the Negev. His archaeolo-
gical expedition again is sponsored
by the Louis M. Rabinowitz Foun-
dation.
LAST SUMMER DR.. Glueck
uncovered the actual 100 mile
route by which the ancient
Israelites sought in vain to
enter Canaan from the South. He
also discovered more than 300 an
cient villages, some of them dat
ing back 1000 years, whose exist
ence had not been known in mod
ern times. He brought back pet
rified sharks tooth believed to be
&c, ,000, 900 years old and a number
of arrowheads thought to be 10000
years old.
AS a result of his square-mile
by square-mile survey Of the Ne
gev, DR.. Glueck has established
the fact that this region, once con-
sidered an irreclaimable waste
land, had been inhabited from pre-
historic times and has the same
potentialities for human inhabita-
ton today as it had then.
HE HAS uncovered numerous
Nabataean and Byzantine agricul-
tural settlements which by skillful
irrigation methods have literally
made "the desert bloom" His
findings in the Negev have been
used by the State of Israel as a
key to it's reclamation and reset
tlement.
Ordained by Hebrew Union Col
lege in 1923, DR.. Glueck has served
as director of the American School
of Oriental Research in Jerusalem.
DR.. Glueck is also known for his
explorations of Trans-Jordan, his
Biblical scholarship, and writings.
