The Bible is remarkably free of astrology. There
is no question but that the whole spirit of the Bible
was "agin" it. The Bible is in accord with Shake
speare that t is not in stars but in ourselves
that we are underlings."
Isaiah addressing Babylon said: Let now the
astrologers the star gazers the many prognostica-
tors stand up and save thee from the things that
shall come upon thee"
HOWEVER, in the Talmudic period, some rab-
bis tried to reconcile astrology with Judaism One
rabbi is mentioned as having refused to head the
Academy of Pumbedita because the Chaledean as
rologists told him he would not hold the post more
than two years And there is a discussion between
two rabbis one believer in astrology and another
impatient of it, crying: Away with your astroogl-
cal tablet Israel is not subject to planetary infl
ences''
Astronomy is accepted as science. Astroogy is
not so accepted still there is bit of supersti-
ton in all of u.s. so we say MaZel Tov. Maybe we
think there is something in this astroogy business
Still, Bernard Baruch doesn't study the stars
but the stocks when he forecasts market trends and
you can't beat the horse race that way either.

ISHUDDER to think what my zede would have
said to this business of having to have Chanukah
Bush First he would have stormed at taking part
in the celebration of Christian holiday.
Secondly he would have need to embel-
lish the beautiful celebration of Chanukah.
For after all what holiday can offer more color
than the Festival of Lights when candle is lit each
evening" prayers rected and the story of one OF
the first great breaks for freedom is recalled.
In our house Chanukah always has been gay
holiday. Our home is decorated appropriately with
Memorials and Dredels and we even make scene
depicting the battle for freedom of the Maccabees.
And we've made it practice to give gifts in
stead of the tradition of giving Chanukah Get Our
youngster thinks this is wonderful idea. After all
Christmas is one day holiday; Chanukah is cele-

understanding could come about through the sharing
