Question: Does Jewish tradition require the giving
of dowry to the groom for marrying the bride?
ANSWER: The MiShnah does mention that a
father who gives his daughter in marriage should
have some minimum which he should give to his
daughter. (Kebut 67a). The Mishnah does consider
the possibility that there could be possible arrange
ment in which the father would not have to give
anything. 1t is clear that the dowry is given to the
daughter, even though, by some laws the husband
takes possession later It is also clear that the dowry
is basicaly matter of agreement between the par
ties The dowry includes the gifts given to the couple
at the marriage.

ON THE OTHER hand, there are some people
in Washington who believe that attack on Israel
by Syria and Egypt can only hurt Russias interests
Such attack, they point out, can lead to a total
Arab defeat similar to Egypts defeat in Sinai, and
wipe out the foothold which the Kremlin has es-
tabshed in Syria and Egypt.
They also argue that since Russia finds Israel
a convenient whipping boy to win the applause of
the Arabs, why try to eliminate it?
IN ISRAEL, the belief exists that it would be

A Panel For Readers:
Should You Keep Kosher?

EDITORS NOTE: The following article was
written expressly for THE ARIZONA POST by
Rabbi Marcus Breger, religious leader of Congre-
CATION Anshei Israel. In the interest of Kashruth

Breger explains the origin of the laws. Rabbi

By RABBI MARCUS BREGER
A FEW DAYS ago very interesting chapter
of the Bible was read in synagogues all over the
world.
It dealt with the story of the great flood and
it's accompanying phenomena. Noah, gratefully
acknowledging his rescue from catastrophe of ma
ture and taking advantage of a newly introduced
principle proceeded to do something which affected
the generations to
Let us use the words of the Bible-"And Noah
built alter unto the Lord and took of every ritual
ly clean animal and every ritualy clean fowl and
offered burnt offerings.
Thus we see that the use of meat according to
the bible is closely connected with the distinction
between ritually clean Kosher, and ritualy un-
clean, non-Kosher.
THAT PRINCIPLE even preceded the event
upon Mt. Sinai the point of departure for Judaism
The Torah later on elaborated on that distinction.
There is no doubt about it that one of the rea-
sons for the preservation of the Jewish people
throughout the world and in the of the CEN
turies the clinging to the dietary laws.
No one, regardless of whether he does or does
not believe in traditional judaism will deny this.
The question arises whether or not one should
draw the right conclusions. 1t may be added that
not single philosophy of the Jews compels people
to stay away from Kashruth. Is it not logical for
every individual to back and preserve an ageod prin
ciple?
IN VIEW of the Importance of the dietary laws
to our people, it may be interesting to learn about
the feelings of those who drifted away from Kash-
ruth and the dietary laws. This column is not in
tended to initiate a philosophical discussion. But
from time to time we hear that this or that indl-
vdual left Kashruth for one reason or another
mostly based upon personal experience. Perhaps
the Vaad Harkashruth by learning of these other
viewpoints and personal experiences will be in a.
position to eliminate features responsible for the
regrettabe departure from Kashruth.

Ii you have an annuity from life
insurance, pension plan or other
source, the portion which you may
receive tax-free depends ON your
life expectancy and the amount you
paid for the annuity. The Internal

foreign corporations.
Your first $50 of qualified divi.
dends is tax free. Husband and wife
are each entitled to exclude the
first $50 for dividends on stocks
that each owns.
Ii you received dividends beyond
this amount. you are entitled to a

in dividends, you can exclude $50
from your taxable income, and SUBJ

placed upon the Federal Gov
ernment's power to levy taxes
on incomes. True democracy in
a Republic such as ours, is bas-
ed on a form of self-govern-
ment by the people and their
elected representatives in their
own localities, whether by
States, counties, townships or
towns. No centralized govern
ment at a remote capital, such
as Washington, can efficiently
and wisely decide what is best
for all the people in a country
as large as the U.S.A.
The States Rights Party
which had T. Coleman An
dreWs as its candidate for
president in the 1856 election,
is for outright repeal of the
18th Amendment-to abolish
the Federal income tax entire
ly. This Party, organized just
a few weeks prior to the cleo
ton, made quite a remarkable
showing. 1t rolled up enough
votes to encourage its leaders
to look toward 1860 with con-
fidence. 1t is now flexing its
muscles. With four years of or
ganization, it promises to be
a real factor, come 1860. You'll

on TAX return.
Dividends from an insurance
policy
Social Security Benefits
Gifts
Payments received under Work
mems Compensation laws
The answer is that NONE of the
above should be listed as taxable
income. There are other forms of
exempt income, too, which you will
find listed in the official instruc-
tion book. Some Of them are:
Inheritances and bequests (the
estate may. be taxed but not
the recipient)
Railroad Retirement Act benefits
Certain health and accident bene-
fits
Damages awarded by a court or
paid out of court for personal
injuries
Government payments and bene.
fits to veterans and their fami-
lies, except nondisability retire
ment pay and interest on

How Prizes Are Taxed
II you won a prize, watch this
fine distinction: the prize is taxable
If you were required to exert even
the slightest effort to earn it; on
the other hand, if it was made in
recognition Of scientific, literary or
other achievement you would have
performed anyway, the prize is con-
sidered gift and you are not taxed
on it.
Most scholarships and fellowships
are exempt unless they are paid
as compensation for services, such
as teaching and research. Another
point TO remember in connection
with scholarships: in figuring sup.
port for a dependent you do not
have to count scholarships received
by student.

Often the greatest tax savings
are to be made during the year
by planning your decisions with
tax considerations in mind, rath-
er than at the end of the year
when you have your tax form in
hand.
Here are some possibilities for
reducing your tax which you
can't do anything about after the
end of the tax year, but which
might reduce next years tax re-
turn:
0p If you are providing nearly
half the support of someone who
might qualify as dependent,
consider providing more than
half so you will be entitled to
the 5000 exemption. The extra
amount you contribute may be
less than the tax savings.
(2) Remember that unless a
dependent is under 19 or a full
time student, you will lose the
exemption if his income is $500
Or more. Be sure to check the
income of everyone you expect
to claim as a dependent.
CD If you are planning to be
married, wedding before mid
night December 81, 1857, will
give you the privilege of filing
joint return for 1857. This pro-
badly would result in substantial
tax saving.
(4) A baby born before mid
night, December 81, qualities as
an exemption for the full year.
(5) If your medical expenses
are likely to be over $50 Of your
income this year and you expect
them to be less next year, pay
as many medical bills as possible
before the end of the year, up
to the maximum allowable
deduction. If you borrow to do
this, remember that you can also
deduct the interest.
60 If your medical expenses
are over the maximum deduc-
ton, perhaps you can defer part
of the payment until after the
end Of the year.
CD Borrowing to pay your
taxes can sometimes let you take
the deduction year earlier.
(8) If you sell your home at
a profit, remember that you do
not have to pay a capital gains
tax if you pay more for a new
home within year than the
price you get for the old one.
(9) When investing money, re-
member that stock in a domestic
corporation offers the possibility
of dividend exclusion and credit.
O0) If you sell securities or
other capital assets" at pro-
fit, it is usually better to wait
until you have held them at
least six months so that the pro-
fit will be taxed at the capital
gains rate instead of as ordinary
! income.
| QD When buying bonds, con-
slider not only the interest rate
but the fact that interest on
state and municipal bonds is
exempt from federal income tax.
If any of these points is likely
to make a substantial difference
in your tax, it will probably pay
you to discuss your problems
with the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice, or to seek professional tax
advice. Anything you pay foI
| assistance in preparing your ta2

return is deductible from your
taxable income.
But beware of any "tax ex-
pert" who claims he can cut your
tax below the amount you really
owe. It's a good idea to pick
someone who has had experience
in dealing with the Internal Re-
venue Service, just in case the
government should raise some
question about your return.

all foreign aid in the past two
years. Surely, here is place for
cutting the budget. There is
about $44 billions for the Mutual
Security program in the current
budget. Other funds intended as
foreign assistance also appear
elsewhere in the budget. There
is an excellent article in the
current Readers Digest which
points to some of the very inept
handling of our past give away
program. In addition, the Gov
ernment Operations Committee
of the Congress has issued a
blistering report on foreign aid
mismanagement and ineptitude
in Iran which should make any
taxpayers blood boil Possibly,
articles such as this, this report,
and the reaction which Congress
will have from these and other
disclosures will produce more
thoughts of economy in this
field.
Point Five: Agriculture. Re-
cent attention given to agricul-
ture has resulted in raising this
budget figure by about $500 mil
lion in the past four years.
Point Six: Dollars are not
worth what they once were. This
is the most obvious statement in
the column this week, but it does
have bearing on what the cost
of government might be. Infla-
ton and cheaper money is re-
flected in what the government
has to buy, as we'll as in the gro-
ceries we purchase at the corner
store.
Point Seven: Welfare. These
figures grow and will continue
to grow as the American people
insist and demand that the gov
ernment provide them with more
and more security. Government
services are costly and the more
services we demand, the greater
the bill will be. The trend today
is not only toward increased
cost, but to embark on more and
more Federal assistance to
education, to combat juvenile de-
linquency, and a myriad of other
suggestions. So long as we in
sist on leaving it to Washing
tom our Federal bills will in
crease.
Point Eight: Bureaucracy -
much has been written and far
too little done on this subject.
Here is where true economy
could begin. This too, however,
is related to the services we de-
mand from our government.
Nevertheless, the war on payroll
padding must be a relentless one
and those accomplishments al
ready made must be vastly ex-
panded in Federal management.
Point Nine: In terms of our
national income, however, gov
ernment today takes a smaller
percentage than it did several
years ago. In 1852, for instance
our national income was $345.2 2
billion and our budget $71.59 bill
lion. In other words, 20.7% went
to support the government. Now
in 1857 our estimated national
income is approximately $43s
billion and with the budget al
S72 billion, the percentage is
somewhat less about 1857.
These are some of the con.
siderations that arise in study
the present budget recommends
tions. In the next six months, the
Congress must make it's decision
on budget it has taken oul
Federal agencies two years tc
prepare. The problem is a diff.
cult one and must be approached
with full recognition Of great
public responsibility each of oul
lawmakers has in casting hi.
