The Jewish Quiz Box QUESTION: Why Is it forbidden for a Jew to take Interest on loaning money? ; ANSWER: This prohibition is mentioned in the Bible (Levitiviis 25:36). A number of reasons have' been advanced for this •prohibition. Some claim that one who does loan money without taking interest demonstrates that the money he owns was given to him by the Almighty in trust so that he could help others as an agent oLthe.Alnuguty, Furthermore, it Is claimed that the Almighty saved the Jews from Egypt so that they would become His people and they would help each other. If they extend loans to each other with no other motive than to be of assistance, they are carrying out the original intent of the Exodus. If one has more than his own needs, and another is'lacking, he is destined to fill the needs of his fellow human by granting.him whatever courtesies are possible. There are certain cases and conditions, of course, where exceptions are made and some form of interest is allowed, depending on the circumstances and condition of society and the individual. -•-:..:...: -••- .• - ........... (. QUESTION: What Is the reason for the ornament of the two lions which appears on the vestments covering the Torahs and : the Ark?' ANSWER: Soifie have claimed that these represent the tribe of Judah whose symbol was a lion. It is claimed by some that the tribe of Judah'was particularly represented because the Jewish community of today is made up mostly of this tribe since the . ten tribes were disbursed by the Assyrians.

A Letter tothe World from Jerusalem • - • I am not a creature from another planet, as you seem to believe. I am a Jerusalemite—like yourself, a man of flesh and blood. I am a citizen of my city, an integral part of my people. I have a few things to get off my chest. Because I am not a diplomat, I do not have to mince words. I do have to please you, or even persuade you. I owe you nothing. You did hot build this city; you do not live in it; you did not defend it when they came to destroy it. And we •will be damned if we will let you take it away. There was a Jerusalem before there was a New York. When Berlin, Moscow, London and Paris were miasmal forest and swamp, there was a thriving Jewish community here. It gave something to the world which you nations have rejected ever since you established yourselves—a humane moral code. Here the prophets walked, their words flashing like forked lightning. Here a people who wanted nothing more than to be left alone, fought off waves of heathen would-be conquerors, bled and died on the battlements, hurled themselves into the flames of their burning Temple father than surrender; and when finally overwhelmed by sheer numbers 'anil led away -into captivity, swore that before they forgot Jerusalem, they would see their tongues cleave to their palates, their right arm wither. For two pain filled millenia, while we were your unwelcome guests, •we prayed daily to return to this city. On every Yom Kippur and Passover we fervently voiced the hope that next year would find us in Jerusalem* Your inquisitions, pogroms, expulsions, the ghettos into which you jammed us, your forced baptisms, your quota systems, your genteel anti-Semitism, and the final unspeakable horror, the holocaust (and worse, your terrifying disinterest in it)—ail these have not broken us. They may have sapped what little moral strength you still possessed, but they forged us into steel. Do you think * that you can break us now, after all we have been through? Do you really believe that after Dachau and Auschwitz we are frightened by your threats of blockades and sanctions? We have been to Hell and back—a Hell of your making. What more could you possibly have in your arsenal that could scare Us? . 7 TT watchedlhls city bombarded twice by nations calling themselves civilized. In 1948, while you looked on apathetically, I saw women and children blown to smithereens, this after we had agreed to your request to. internationalize the city.
And then the savage sacking of the Old City: the willful slaughter, the wanton destruction of every synagogue and religious school; the desecration of Jewish cemeteries; the sale by a ghoulish government of tomb stones for building materials, for poultry runs, army camps—even latrines. < And you never said a word. , . You never breathed the slightest protest when the Jordanians shut off the holiest of our holy places, the Western Wall in violation of tho pledges they had made after the war—a war they waged, incidentally, against a decision of the UN. Not a murmur came from you whenever the legionnaires in their spiked helmets casually opened fire upon our citizens from behind the.walls. Your hearts bled when Berlin-came under siege. You rushed your airlift "to save the gallant Berliners." But you did not send one ounce of food when Jews starved in besieged Jerusalem. You thundered against the wall which the East Germans ran through the'middle of the German capital—but not one peep out of you about that other wall, the one that tore through the heart of Jerusalem. , And when the same thing happened 20 years later, and the Arabs unleashed a savage, unprovoked bombardment of the Holy City again, did any of you do anything? • • . The truth Is—and you know it deep inside your gut—you would prefer the city to be'destroyed rather than have it governed by Jews. No matter how diplomatically you phrase it, the age old prejudices seep out of every word. If our return to the city has tied your theology in knots, perhaps you had better re-examine your catechisms. . For the fjrst time since the year 70 there is now complete religious freedom for alt in Jerusalem. For the first time since the Romans put the torch to'the Temple everyone has equal rights. (You preferred to have some more equal than others.) We loathe the sword—but it was you who forced us to take it up. We crave peace—but we are not going back to the peace df 1948 as you would like us to. We are home. It has a lovely sound for a nation you have willed to wander over the face of the globe. We7aTOonelivingT~v7eT)ave redeemed the pledge made by our forefathers: Jerusalem is being rebuilt. "Next year"—and the year after, and after, and after, until the end of time—"in Jerusalem!" . —Eliezer Ben Yisrael

There is also much concern a b o u t the possibility that such innovating may change liturgy into dubious entertainment. The changes, apd the concerns were, discussed at the 63th, annual convention of the .Rabbinical Assembly, the association of Conservative rabbis. ..;.': .. V •, The reported innovations included use of religious drama,, discarding by the rabbi of the traditional black robe for a business suit; arrangements for1 laymen, rather than the rabbi or the cantor, to lead services; use of modern music, particularly with young people; and efforts to introduce modern materials into the liturgy, as well as to reduce the lengthL_?L services,.. Rabbi Sidney \ Shanken told the s e s s i o n that religious drama had become "an accepted, Indeed, an expected technique of presenting a religious message forcefully from the pulpit" at his Cranford, NJ. synagogue. He reported that at the Friday night serva brief sermon at the usual place in the service. Then he and the cantor leave the bimah. A group, the Temple Players, takes their place. To illustrate the point the rabbi has made in _ his brief sermon: the troupe presents one or two scenes from, a .Broadway play.

Shankln comes back to complete the service. Among plays from which scenes have been presented are "Raisin in the Sun," Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," and "Skipper NextTa God," as well as readings by I.B. Singer and similar material. Rabbi Sh'anken reported that "the effect is always electric, penetrating and lasting, much more so, I think, than that of the most carefully prepared verbal illustration by the most articulate speaker." Rabbi Aaron Landes discussed some experimental'efforts at the morning Minyan at his Pa. synagogue. A few years before, he reported, the morning Minyan "was like any suburban morning minyan. We couldn't get one." At the" present time, he said, "we have anywhere from 45 to 75 men and women each morning of the week." •The changes which brought this about, he declared, .were based on the premises that any service must be meaningful and that the congregation should participate to.the maximum in the service. He reported he does not lead the Minyan services. He said his function was "to sit among the worshippers as a worship-

Some, elements who o p p o s e withdrawal from Vietnam would . obviously favor the supply of arms to Israel to prevent another Communist-menaced nation from g o i n g "down the drain." • Many American m i l i t a r y men would encourage the prospect of a strong and independent Israel as a bulwark against Communism. This concept is especially inviting in that no American pfersonnel would be involved. Yet another c o n s i d eration exists. -As long as the war in Vietnam continues, it is strategically important to keep the Suez Canal closed. This is the prime potential route for Russian arms shipments from the Black Sea to Haiphong. If the war ends in Vietnam, t h e r e would be less reason for denying the Russians transit. An American-Egyptian deal might be sought to "regain" Arab favor. Of course, there is always the cheery prospect that disengagement in Vietnam will promote an era of universal peace. A spirit of conciliation and brotherhood m i g h t descend upon the Arabs. Some "Moslem moratorium" could cry out for an end to the senseless war. Arab youth might chant, "hell no, we won't go." But the Israelis somehow cannot visualize such a mirage arising from the desert. .. .

Nixon said that Israel's military requirements w o u l d be studied and a c t e d upon from time to time as developments occur. This fell short of what Israeli military planners desired. They wanted no commitment of American . manpower. But they did consider It essential that Washington pledge a clear pattern of continuity in supplying sophisticated weapons systems, like the Phantom Jet. The U.S. position is designed to avoid a big power confrontation in Mideast policy. Jets dribbled out, s q u a d r o n by squadron, provide effective instruments of bargaining and pressure. The ' American assessment is that the present level of Israeli strength serves U.S., interests in providing a balance to the Russian-backed Arab build-up. If a decision is taken to impose a settlement at Israel's expense, leverage is retained. Israel remains dependent upon the continuing review of the State Department. P o s i t i v e factors .would emerge, however, if Washington pulled out of Vietnam. The military' in"diistrles~^wouid be left with a surplus of manufacturing facilities.

Little Synagogue Has Big Zoning Problem
Center Sports
Baltimore, Md. (JTA) — A small Jewish congregation in suburban Laurel may be forced to vacate its new premises because of zgning restrictions. According'to the Baltimore Jewish Times, the P r i n c e . Georges County board of commissioners has o r d e r e d the Jewish Congregation of Lourel out of its recently purchased $33,000 ranch-style d w e l 11 n g within 90 days. The congregation was informed of the order at Rosh Hashanah services, the first service to be held in its new synagogue. The congregation, headed by Harry Rosenbluh, has been meeting in a community hall for the past three years. It purchased the former residence in order to have space for Sunday school classes. But neighbors complained that the synagogue's garage has space for only two cars whereas, zoning ordinances require synagogues to provide parking space for at least 20 cars. Mr. Rosenbluh said that ample parking space could be provided it a power c o m p a n y agreed to make available adjacent land that it owns for that purpose. The land is used for power lines and is not intended to be built on. ; The power company has refused so far and Mr. Rosenbluh said the congregation may appeal the county commissioners' ruling to the circuit court.

Kol to Launch New Campaign Urging Youth to Tour Israel
Guest Editorial Twice within recent weeks Egyptians have made funny noises about Rhodes. And twice within recent weeks they have issued disclaimers. . . ' . • . What is Rhodes? Rhodes is an island in the Mediterranean Sea which not only gave us many members of our own growing and vibrant Sephardic Community, but alsd gave its name to the peace formula through which Israel's War of Independence was concluded. .The architect of Rhodes was Ralph Bunche. Dr. Bunche, who mediated the settlement, and his staff set up headquarters and living accommodations for delegates in a •wing of the'Hotel des Roses—downstairs, the Israels; upstairs, the Egyptians. Then staircase diplomacy took place. This later gave way to joint meetings In Dr. Bunche's sitting room. At the start, both the Israelis and the Arabs addressed themselves only to the mediator. But it was not long before the two involved parties were arguing directly with each other in French and in English. In fact, reported Dr. Bunche, that after a month, relations between the Israelis and the Egypiians became increasingly cordial. • On the evening of-Feb. 14, 1949, Dr. Bunche1 gave a party— a Valentine's Day party, if you will—celebrating the signing of the armistice agreement. The Egyptians even sent a special plane from Cairo with delicacies from the famed Groppi's. What'actually happened at Rhodes was that I'? Israelis and the Egyptians sat panim-a-panim—face-to-face around a negotiating table. It didn't start out that way, but that's the way it ended up. When Arabs talk about Rhodes, they seem only to stress the initial arrangements. When they reverse their field and play down talk about Rhodes, one feels they remember the concluding weeks of the talks—around a common table. • The fact is talks began on Jan. 14 and ended a month later— with an agreement. Rhodes again? Why not? Israel is ready and willing. Reprlnltd (ram tti* Lot Angil« B'njl B'rlltt Mtutnger.

Dual Citizenship Approved by U.S. TEL AVIV (JTA)-A United States E m b a s s y spokesman said here this week that Americans could no longer lose their, citizenship If they become clti' zens of Israel or serve in Israel's armed forces.

Professor Aids Lindsay's Campaign Ramat Gan (ZINS) — New York City's Mayor John Lindsay has a Bar Ilan Professor, M. Schick, assisting him in his campaign for re-election, according to a report published in the Israel daily, "Haaretz."
