of the Yom Kippur service
should have been plagued
throughout its history by
controversy, doubt and at
tempts to alter it and even
eliminate it.
The Kol Nidre is recited by
the cantor on the eve of the
Day of Atonement, just be-
fore sunset. In modern-day
synagOgues, two or more To
rah scrolls are removed from
the Ark and are held flank
ing the cantor as he chants
the powerful melody familiar
to Jews in many parts of the
world.

therefore, could never and
was never intended to abb
solve anyone from an oath
which concerned another perl
son or interest.
1t was ignorance of this
fact or deliberate distortion
Of the purpose of the prayer
by enemies of the Jews,
which served as a source of
trouble, giving anti-Semites
an opportunity to cast sus-
picion on the trustWorthineSS
of an oath taken by a Jew.
AS a result of misconceptions
about the prayer, many mag

devised special forms of
oaths to be administered to

Even before the KOI Nidre
served as a preteXt for anti
Semitic SANDER, the Karaites
attacked the rabbinic author
tiles over the use of the
prayer. 1t was concern over
such attacks by the Karaites
that prompted the Gaonim
to minimize the power of dis
penSation from oaths. Not
only was the prayer in dis
favor among most of the
Gaonim. but even the study
of Nedarim, the Talmudic
tractate dealing with oaths,
was banned from both Baby
lonian academieS-Sura and
Pumpeditha-some time dur
ing the Eighth Century C.E.
A century later Natronai
Gaon also noted that it was
not customary to recite the
Kol Nidre in Babylonia "as
is done elsewhere" Amram
Gaon calls the custom of re-
citing the Kol Nidre "a fool
iSh one"
While the custom Of the
Gaonim of not reciting the
Kol Nidre was adhered to by
many Sephardic communities
and persisted in the Algerian
most of the Jewish
world finally adopted the
prayer as part of the Atone
ment eve service.
Meir ben SamuePs 10Th
century version of the Kol
Nidre was finally accepted
in German, northern French
and Polish rituals while the
Spanish and ProVencal rit-
ualS adhered to the old text.
Even after the teXtual
had been made,
some religious authorities OBJ
jected to the prayer. Judah
ben Barzilai, a Spanish au- :
thor of the Twelfth Century
attacked the custom of recit-
ing the Kol Nidre as mis-
leading" since, he declared,
ignorant p n on S believed
that all their vows were an
through the formula
and therefore took on such
obligations carelessly.
. . .
Two centuries later, JerO-
ham ben Meshulam of Pro
attacked "those fools"
who, trusting to the Kol
made vows reckleSSly.
Other opponents of the Kol
Nidre included Judah Hadas-
81, the Twelfth Century Ka-
rate of Constantipole, and
Rabbi Isaac ben Sheshet of
SaragosSa who lived in the
Fifteenth Century.
In the Nineteenth Century,
conclaves of Reform rabbis
both in Germany and in the
States sought to abol-
ISh the Kol Nidre. A rabbini-
cal conference held in Bruins
wick in 1914 called on all
m e m berS to secure the
speedy abolition of the pray
ar. In this century, when Re
form congregations abolished
the prayer, the traditional
melody was retained with a
psalm substituted
for the old text.
So strong was the force OF
with regard to the
prayer, however, that in spite

Although the author of the
KOl Nidre or the date of
its authorship are both un-
known, it is known to have
existed by the Eighth Cen
tury C.E. during the period
of the Gaonim, when the adj
visibility of reciting the
prayer was already a subject
of dispute among the rab-
binic authorities. The author
of the Kol Nidre, whoever he
was, recognized the fact that,
for a variety of reasons, Jews
were addicted to making
vows. which might afterWard
be forgotten or uninten-
tionally violated. A formula
was devised whereby such
vows could be retracted on
the eve of the Day of Atone
ment. Ut was important for
the recitation to be made be-
fore sunset since only vows
relating to a festival could be
retracted on that feStival.)
The Kol Nidre formula was
based on the rabbinic rite of
absolution from vows which
might be performed before
a rabbinic scholar or before
three laymen. All forms of
absolution from vows, how
ever, refer only to those
which a Jew assumed volun-
tarily for himself alone and
in which no other person

Great Books
Study Inspires
Trinity Pupils

Every other Saturday morn
ing, IL children willingly give
up sleeping late. watching TV
and playing football to read
books.
The students-five boys and
seven girls in the seventh grade
at st. James School in Mount
Rainier, Md.-attend a great
books course at Trinity College.
So far they have read "Oliver
Twist" a biography Of Helen
Keller, a documentary history
Of the United States, the "Anc-
lent Mariner" and five essays
by Charles Lamb.
Bob Schiller of 1904 Forty
third avenue, Mount Rainier,
opened the discussion of
Charles Lamb yesterday by in
forming the group that Lamb
worked as a clerk in the East
India House and after a love
affair he went crazy and had to
stay in an asylum six weeks"
Lamb Kept Hope
Undaunted by this fact, the
group went on to decide that
although Lamb had every right
to dispair, he remained full of
! hope; that schools in the late
eighteenth century were bad
places to be; that new expe-
riences can be frightening, and
that capitalism is good.
Discussing an eassay on
grace, Jimmy Lewis of 36O9
Perry street, Mount Rainier
said. "All those people with two
Cadillacs also give to charities"
Bill Henry of 1929 Queens
Chapel road, Mount Rainier,
said he had to look up the
meanings of "unpalatable" and
"disinclination" among many
others.
Looks Far Ahead

herd street, Mount Rainier,
said later he didn't mind COM
ing to the course because foot
ball lasts one season and
knowledge lasts all your life

Kathleen McGovern of Rock
vile Centre, N. Y, and Barbara
Murphy of Huntington, N. Y,
both juniors at Trinity College
who plan teaching careers.
Bill Henry told them he
would like to continue the
course next year if there were
enough good books. Miss
Murphy assured him there were
enough for next year and a
few more years after that.

dered what to do next, the lit

from Santa's boot and danced
across the room.

believe his eyes.
"Ah," said Santa. Hes the
fellow who brought me the
torn-up pieces of your letter.
He lives in your palace and
he has been having trouble
lately finding crumbs in the
kitchen.
But not any more" cried
the little fellow. He drew out
the soft rubbery magnet Santa
had given him and pulled it
across the floor. Instantly the
magnet was covered wit h
crumbs.
why it's crumbs from my
pineapple upside down cake!"
exclaimed Santa leaning down
and licking the magnet.
Then whoever took the cake
must have left a trail of
crumbs!" said the King.
"Clues!" agreed Santa.
We've only to follow the trail
and"
We'll find the thief"
The red-headed fairy, drag
ging the magnet, led the way
as the three of them crept out
of the room. In the corridor
they turned to the right but
no crumbs appeared. Tn e y
turned back and went to the
left. Immediately a sprinkling
of crumbs gathered on the
magnet. They turned into the
east wing. The magnet drew no
crumbs. They turned into the
west wing and there the
crumbs, flying to the magnet,
led them past room after room
until they came to the closed
door of a private apartment.
Here lives the thief" whis-
pered Santa.
The King shook his head.
Impossible"
why? Whose room is this?"
asked Santa.
