Intriguing relationships have de-
veloped between Israel and the
awakening nations of Africa.
We have read much about the
technical aid given to these coun-
tries with the exotic names and
exciting aspirations. Israel has
been helping independence bound
peoples to help themselves, with
tools and teachers and technolog-
ical know-how.
A few short years of friendship
have brought interesting results.
Just within recent weeks, these
news items have come to my at
tention:
Mr.. Tom Mboya. Kenya labor
leader, and his bride arrived in Is
rael one day after their marriage.

Is necessary by the fact that man
needs God and God needs man.
Man needs the Creator Who gives
him this feeling that he is needed.
Martin Buber explained 1t in this
manner: Gods grace consists
precisely in this-that He wants to
let Himself be wanted by man,
that He places Himself, so to
speak, into mans hands. God
wants to come to His world, but
He wants to come to it through
man. This is the mystery of our
existence, the superhuman choice
of mankind"
Here is the great challenge of
the goth century--whether man will
let God come into his being through
the spiritual potential of His power,
or whether man will close Him up
forever and allow the constructive
creative power of His being to re-
main a closed book.
In every generation God needs
man to fulfill His universe as a
spiritual garden of happiness for
which his purpose and intention
was made. In the time of Antonio
Stradivari, God needed this genius
to make violins. He needed an Elm
stein to find the meanings of the
physical universe, a Freud to look
into the psychological impulses of
our beings and a Chagall to reveal
the beauty of our being. In every
generation there has to be this
need for man to find God and for
God to find man.
One of the most startling state
ments of DR.. Silverman is this:
1.-The imperative need of our age
is not for guided missiles, b u
guided men and women who will
direct their thoughts and { h e r
lives on high. 1t is not the con-
quest of outer space, but the con-
quest of inner space that will
shape the future. For this we need
the strength, power and inspiration
that come from God. For this
we must learn to go beyond our
own resources, and we must learn

hospital named after Itzhak Ben

milton of that country'S friendship
with Upper Volta.
Finally, j. Ebbe, the chieftain
of large tribe in Nigeria, who is
studying economics in Dublin, plans
to embrace Judaism soon, and in
tends to convert his whole tribe
when he returns to Nigeria.
These rather unexpected displays
of interest in Israel and Judaism
on the part of Africans are not at
all unusual. They are part of the
day-to-day give and take amongst
new nations, which 1 mention here
because they are positive, peaceful,
and probably productive of great
results for all the peoples con-
cerned.
Here is a sequel to last month S
story about the refusal of the Hilton
Corporation to bow to the Arab
boycott of Israel, and its determine
ton to operate a Hilton Hotel in
that country:
Recently, King Saud of Saudi
Arabia and his party spent sew
eraI weeks at BostOn's Sheraton
Hotel, despite the fact that Sher-
atom was the first American chain
to open a hotel in Tel Aviv.
Like the Renault Corporation and
the British American Tobacco Com
pany, King Saud found it either
unpleasant Or improbable to pay
heed to the threats and intimidation
of the Arab boycott committee.
Let us hope that his friends in

profit by his example.
We miss the sound of Jewish mu-
sic which we used to hear.

from childhood. Our mothers and
grandmotherS had their favorite
Yiddish lullabies or folk songs
which echoed through our early
years. If we were very fortunate,
we had family song-festS around
the piano, and "zemirot" at the
Sabbath table.
They added to the fabric of Jew
ish life a silken thread, a thread

THE JEWISH STANDARD
STILL WAITING

Men have tried to find faith
but have not sought to make it a
mature faith. People have joined
churches and temples, but they
have not found out the reason or
the purpose of their affiliation.
Merely to take refuge in a religion
and to mouth certain cliches and
to say "God is in heaven, all's
well with the world" is to destroy
the very foundation of our religious
faith.
Many of us look upon God from
a kindergarten point of view. Man
must grow out of his kindergarten
form of religion and grow up to the
fact that God is not divine ma
gician nor is His spirit kind of
magic.
How can 1 mature in my faith?
This question DR.. SilVerman at
tempts to answer by giving us GER
tain criteria which will help us out
of our rigid, compulsive dogma
tism into more mature approach
to our religion. The mature indi-
vidual has to look into his faith
from a self-critical point of view
and see a pattern of his relation
ship to God and his fellow men.
The mature faith Is q religion
OF hope which sees future bas-
ed upon an intelligent, moral
and purpOseful God. Who has
created man a divine destiny
which he must seek to find. The
trouble is that all of us want to
have the answers right away and
cannot wait.
A great need of our time Is to
emphasize the deed over the creed.
Mature religion must give us a
standard Of life whereby we will
look to this world for the salvation
of humanity, love of social JUS
tice which will create a faith that
will have purpose for humanity.
How is this purpose to be
achieved? DR.. Silverman proposes
partnership between God and
mana kind of partnership which

Mr.. NC Fan PHOTOGRAPHER
WHEN Alvin Nc Bean of ST. Thomas wandered into the
Pirate training camp, he did so as a photographer, taking ex-
tensive pictures of the players for whom he expressed great
admiration. AS amateur photographers invade training camps
all over the place, this maneuver was not only the usual, but
went unnoticed. But that was only the beginning.
NC BEAN stuck around. He took more pictures, and
talked with more players. Then the management took notice.
The upshot of all this initial picture-takng was a trial with
the Pittsburgh Pirates at a figure which is almost too ridicu-
lous to mention, especially when compared with the bonus

young Mclean, who went right to work at whatever was as
signed him.
THE FIRST assignment, as the record goes, was to the
outfield. But that did not last long, nor did the rookie shine
too well there. Finally, the manager got around to find out
that Mclean had pitched, and pitched well. Eurekal A new
star was born.

For Vatican Council agenda
Propose sweeping reform of calendar

The followers of this usage were called the "Quartodect-
mani" Fourteeners(.
But in the West, Easter was celebrated on the Sunday
following the full moon of spring. BY the second century
the differences between the dates became so acute that it
took st. Polycarp, a disciple of st. John the Evangelist, and
st. Ireneus, Bishop of Lyons, to restore relative peace.
The controversy was solved, on paper at least, at the
Council of Nicea in 325, when the practice of the Western
Church prevailed. 1t was agreed: first, that Easter should
always be celebrated on a Sunday; second, that the Christian
Easter should not coincide with the Jewish Pasch; third, that
Easter should fall on the first Sunday after the fourteenth
day of the month of Nissan.
1T WAS FURTHERMORE agreed that the Patriarch of
Alexandria should be entrusted with the task of making the
necessary calculations every year and would announce to all
the churches, in good time, the date on which Easter should
be celebrated.
The arrangement proved impractical and uncertainties
and disagreements continued. 1t was only in the sixth GEN.
fury, as a result of the work of a certain Dionslus the Small,
that a scientific basis was found for the future determine
ton of the date of Easter.
Differences in the celebration of Christmas have also con-
tinued to exist between the East and the West, with most
of the Orthodox churches of the East celebrating it on jan
uary z.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-05-18

It is felt that unison in the celebration of the hturgical cal
endar would be a point for mutual understanding between
the Catholic Church in the East and the separated eastern
churches.
The institution of a universal calendar would also eSta-
blish a permanent date for other movable feastS such as
the Ascension, Pentecost and Corpus Christi.
Suggestions in this respect were submitted to the League
of Nations in 1923 and 1881, and to the United Nations in
1949 and 1850. One of the recent proposals provides for the
division of the year into four three-month periods of 13 weeks
each, that is of 81 days, with each period beginning on a
Sunday and ending on a Saturday.
Following this system, New Years Day would always
fall on a Sunday. All the months would have 30 days with
the exception of the four which mark the beginning of each
three-month period. These would have 81 days.
IN ORDER NOT to break the balance, the last day Of the
year would be considered a repetition of Saturday, December
80, and it would not be included in the ordinary count but
would become a kind of blank day without a date. This
would apply also to the extra day in leap years. Thus Easter
would always fall on Sunday, April s.
There has been disagreement about the date for the
celebration of Easter ever since Christianitys first years. In
some churches in the East it was always celebrated on the
fourteenth day of the month Of Nissan in the Jewish Calendar.
