ACCORDING TO LEG
END, Jacob was the first to
observe Succoth. The lives of
Abraham and Isaac were Suf-
fused with a tranquility not
shared by Jacob. His brother
Esau was his fathers pride,
enjoyed the prerogatives of
the first born. His brother
Esau caught the venison. ia
cob was finally forced to flee
from ESau, fearful that his
brother would murder him.
Uncle Laban gave him ref
uge, but even his dear uncle
played a mean trick on him,
substituting on the wedding
night Lea for his beloved Ra-
chel, and Jacob was forced
to do an additional seven
year stint to get Rachel.
Fearful, still afraid of be-
ing murdered, although now
IA years had passed, he lay
down in the open. In a dream,
he saw a ladder on which
angels went up and down.
He Wrestled with the angels
and won their blessing.

ABRAHAM'S DOOR

ABRAHAM'S DOOR was
open to all, not just to celeb
rites.
The fact is that Abraham'S
house was essentially an all
year-around Succoh. For we
are told that he had doors on
all sides, so that no wayfarer
night fail to notice it.

MARTIN BUBER tells this

MARTIN BUBER tells this
story of Rabbi Levi Yitzhak.
Once the famous rabbi of
Berditchev went to LWoW
and, having to stay in the
town a day, he asked a rich
man to take him in. The rich
man refused, and the rabbi
went to a poor school teach
er who offered him hospital
ity. Soon the people of the
town heard that the great
rabbi of Berditchev was there
and they gathered at the
door. The rich man heard,
and he too came and asked
Rabbi Levi Yitzhak to for
give him and honor him by
coming to his house.
Rabbi Levi Yitzhak an
sWered by giving them a lit
tie Torah. Both Abraham
and Lot" said the rabbi,
were visited by angels. Why
is there so much more made
of Abraham's reception of the
angels than of Lots. Both re-
ceived them we'll, both pro-
vided repasts for them. But
in the instance of Lot, Scrip
ture says that angels came to
see him. In Abraham'S case,
however, the Bible writes:
"And he lifted up his eyes
and looked, and 10, three men
stood over against him." Lot
saw angels; Abraham saw
just poor weary travellers
who needed food and rest"

A SUCCOH also takes one
substantially out in the open.
We go camping, as it were,
in the SuccOth week. The COW
ering of the Succoh, accord
ing to rabbinic rule, must not

easily see any angels, should
they come near; and if they
wish, they can talk to you.
The light covering of the Sue

You could hardly expect an
angel to enter any of our or

Graders, Buyers Scan New Tobacco
Crop; Jubilee Prizes Due Tuesday
1861 Leaf Crop
TO Have Ga
Separate Grades

For the frs. ilme this year. to-
bacco auctions will be preceded
by full day Of inspection and
study Of tn e leaf by government
graders. What were they study
ing Monday in preparation for
today's market opening?
It's pretty involved as most
every tobacconran will tell you.
As a general overall principal,
the grader has to be fair in
several directions. He must look
after the interests of the pro-
Queer, the o b a Geo growing
farmer. and also to the buyers
who must find the markets to
dispose of the tobacco in a highly
competitive industry.
Last spring when the farmer
planted his seed he voluntarily
restricted himself to a fixed
acreage, and one smaller than
what he could conveniently plant
and tend. IN return. for this con-
troll Of production, the govern
ment promised the farmer his
tobacco wouldn't fall below
certain price, no matter what the
buyers did.
Formidable Task
It's the government graders
who reconcile these two vital
elements in the industry. Per-
haps, a day to study an entire
new crop of tobacco isn't too
long. although some feel that an
experienced grader can do as
well sight unseen ahead of time.
At any rate. the grader faces
