QUESTION': How old is our method of Hebrew characterization —i.e., the printed letters? ANSWER: It is generally believed that our current script which is referred to as the "square script" is traced back to the Septuagint translations which are dated as of the tlfird century before the Common Era. Originally we had another script called the "Old Hebrew Script." Ezra and his disciples, in their attempt to popularize the Biblical texts and the knowledge of Hebrew among the masses of Jews, plus their keen interest in disassociating the Jewish people from the Samaritan sect, deemed it advisable to copy the texts into what was then called an Aramaic script which was commonplace at the time. This script is really an Aramaic adaptation of the old Hebrew or Phonecian Alphabet. This script passed through development stages until it assumed the "square form we know today, • # # • QUESTION: Why are there no vowels In the Torah script? ANSWER: Actually, Hebrew was originally a purely consonantal language. Furthermore, the absence of vowels lends the text to various interpretations which have been the basis of Rabbinic teachings through the ages. The Italian Jewish scholar Azariah DeRossi, claimed that Moses preferred to eliminate the vowel signs from the text in order not to restrict its meaning to allow it to be interpreted in "seventy different ways."

U.S. Ambassador Gets Release Of Ancient Torahs From India

A monument will be dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Minnie Kirke at Mt. Sinai Cemetery on Sunday, September 1G, at 11:30 a.m. with Rabbi Benjamin Groner officiating. Friends and relatives are invited to attend.

By RAnm SAMUEL J. FOX QUESTION': Why is a wealthy man referred (o as a "Nagid?" ANSWER: In the Bible the expression Nagid usually referred to someone in a ruling capacity. Thus a king (Chronicles 1:5:2), a prince (Ibid: 2, 19:11), people like Saul and David, were referred to with this title. In medieval times the expression "Nagid" was used to refer to visors of the king, like Samuel the Nagid. In later periods, especially among Eastern European Jews, a rich man was referred to with this title, probably to indicate that this wealth gave him a certain status and placed him in a position of ruJership.

tainers. T h e y were used by former Jewish communities of Calcutta, since dispersed to Israel and elsewhere. The National Council of Young Israel, in New York, learned of the presence of the unused scrolls. The White House alerted Ambassador Galbraith. The Ambassador reported that the Indian Ministry of Finance instructed the chief controller of imports and exports and the Reserve Bank of India to release and allow the e x p o r t of the scrolls—silver an,d all. The National Council of Young Israel is a r r a n g i n g shipment. The scrolls will be distributed to various synagogues throughout America, where they will be placed in a position of honor.

Jewish Students To Arab Schools Israel: Eighty students from Jewish secondary schools went to Acre for ten days to attend Arab schools, work in bakeries and nurseries, and watch the local Kadi administering Muslim law in the religious court. The boys, numbering 30, stayed at a Dervish monastery, according to a Gpecial religious permit from the Kadi. The fifty girls who stayed at a hotel, heard lectures in Arabic, met local Arab youth, and visited homes and neighboring villages. The visit was aimed at improving understanding between the students and the Arab population, as v/ell as polishing up their Arabic. This is the first time that such a study-tour has taken place in Acre, as well as the first time that half of the teaching staff was composed of Arabs.

By David Schwartz Someone recently remarked that everything seems to be growing "tel"—Telegraph, telephone, television, tel-slar, Tel Aviv. Now that we have tel-star, the only thing that seems to be left to accomplish in that direction is telepathy. Recently on vacation at a spot where all were strangers to me, I ran out of funds and wrote to a friend to send me a money order. My friend wrote me that on the very morning he had received the letter, the thought occurred to him that I might need the funds and he was debating whether to send a check or money order. Mark Twain tells of a similar incident. He was thinking one day of an acquaintance he had riot heard from in years and that very day had sat down to write him a letter, when he received one from this old friend. Mark Twain believed that if you write a letter to someone and tear it up, your friend will get the message anyway. My mother used to say, '.'Die Hartz hot mir gesogt." Her heart told her. If your ears "burn" someone was talking about you. All of this is usually dismissed as popular superstition, but it is not easy to distinguish all the time between superstition and science. Remember the story of the old pious Jew in Israel during Israel's war of liberation? Seeing the young Jewish soldier pursuing his military science so ardently, he said to him. "Don't rely altogether on miracles. Do some praying also." Today's superstition may be tomorrow's science. The fact is that in a crude and elementary way, we are all witnesses of a type of mental communication—without words. People may not say a word to us and yet communicate. Their smile, the shape of their body, or even their hand—all communicate. The tone of the voice may say more than the voice itself and the look of an eye can be more expressive than the words of a Shakespeare or Dostoievsky. The Hassidic literature is full of stories of mental telepathy. I remember reading one story of the Baal Shem Tov, suddenly ordering his horse brought to him. He had gotten a mental message from a poor woman in distress. Rebecca goes to the well just at the time which will be propitious for finding her husband. How did that come about? Of course it is really very simple. Eliezer had sent her a Western Union "telepath," "Am coming tomorrow to look you over as possible daughter-in-law for Abraham. Please be at well." To the Jew, telepathy should GREENBERG HONORED First Lieut. Stephen Greenberg, U.S. Air Force base information officer, Little Rock, Ark., received the "Arkansas Traveler Certificate," an honorary award from Goy.

Nat Fleisdier In a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, Gilbert Rogin had ;i very interesting pieco on Nat Fleischer," the 74-year-old founder and magazine e d i t o r . Because Fleischer is not a participant, strictly speaking, in the ring-, he's not written about as much as the boxers themselve:-;, but surely he is more fascinating a personality than most fighters. I recall that when I did my research on my book The Jew in American Sports. I constantly turned to Fleischer for information and leads and he always was willing to cooperate, for boxing is his very life and he has done more for the sport than any oilier single individual, even though he never held a titleFleischer has published 57 books on one or another aspect of boxing and has made 37 trips to Europe, all to watch or referee lights. His magazine, has a circulation of 157,000 in the United States and another 9.V 000 abroad. He boasts of the largest boxing and wrestling library in the world—some 2.000 volumes, and his magazine has been published regularly for 40 years. He recognizes that at the moment "boxing is at its lowest ebb" and he is terribly sorry about it. He claims that there isn't enough talent around; that kids don't want to fight; that television and the folding up of small fight clubs—all combined to put boxing where it is—or isn't — today. "The American way of life under the present government," Fleischer believes, "gives a good living wage in any field without the element of danger. Before, the boys were hungry; they had insufficient work at low pay." He asserts, however, that boxing won't die. "I don't think you can kill it," Fleischer told Eogin. "The public interest, as shown by TV, will keep the sport alive, no matter how small or how few. But it will never come back like before." He talks of the lost skills of boxing, and tells us that "the last man to feint well was Benny Leonard. I don't think the technique of b o x i n g has advanced since 1840. Today they do not go in for the development of science but for the pell-mell mix, trying to batter a man down, score heavy hits at the expense of ring cleverness." Fleischer said that "Boxing for me wasn't wholly a means of obtaining a living. It was a lot of fun, a lot of satisfaction and a love for the sport. I made

thousands of friends. Today I can go to any part of the world and there is somebody who is my friend." Nat F l e i s c h e r has many friends in this country, who wish him well. For a long time, he held a romantic view of boxing, but in recent years he has sadly ac- • knowledged the flaws in the game. He used to do crusadin,>;, but basically, he didn't want to harm the game. He still doesn't, but he sees the picture ns it is: a sa.l one. He may be the last of an old breed, but it is men like Fleischer who created.true interest in boxing, with record keeping, g i v i n g championship belts and publishing r e c o r d hook." and a consistently interesting journal.

let ween You By BORIS YIDDISH RIALTO: The Yiddish theatre in America today is not what it used to be a generation ago . . . The famous Yiddish Art Theatre, which had a high reputation not only among Jews hut also among non-Jewish lovers of the stage, no longer exists . . . Nor do most of the other Jewish theatres which played such an important role in Jewish cultural life . . . The days are gone when the Jewish theatre had such stars as Maurice Schwartz, Joseph Schildkraut, Bertha Kalich Jacob Adler and a host of others . . . Those who survived, like Molly Picon, are now play-

Mmes. J. Milton Margolin and Leroy Canfield who report that Hadassah is the only Omaha organization to change its method of JNF collection.

SMOLAK ing in Jewish productions on the English stage . . . The large audiences which patronize such productions on Broadway are mostly the American-born children of the immigrant parents who devotedly patronized the Yiddish stage . . . This is the link that still exists between the Yiddish theatre of yesterday and the English-Jewish, theatre of today . . . And this link is now cemented in a book by Louis Lipsky, the venerable Zionist leader and author, which will be published under the title "Tales of the Yiddish Rialto" . . . In announcing the publication of the volume, publisher Thomas Yoseloff predict'! that Mr. Lipsky's book, the only work of its kind, will afford poignant nostalgia and keen pleasure, and will delight anyone who reads it . . . Any person who knows Mr. Lipsky, not only as the builder of the Zionist movement in this country but also as a dramatist and theatre critic, will he looking forward to the appearance of his book . . . Mr. Lipsky served for more than ten years—during 1902-1913—as drama critic for the New York Telegraph . . . During those years he came to know all the famous actors and playwrights of the Yiddish theatre.
