THE RABBI SPEAKS FROM HIS PULPIT
Most Touching Episodes
B< RABBI RALPH P. KING8LBV
People Sinai of North Hade
One of the most touching pi-
les in all of the Bible is the
i with which this week's |>orlion
Y.i Kthehanan begins. Moses.
who had lost his
temper in a mo-
ment ot impa-
tience, and who
w as therefore
denied entry in
to the Promisi d
Land, pours out
his heart in a
last, di sperate
attempt to get
God ''i "change
His mind." as it
were. Mo ses
"hi sought t h e
text, with tin'
go over, l pray
Rabbi Kingsfey
'id." says the
rds, "Let me
ice, and see the good land that is
yond the Jordan ."
rhere is pathos in his anguished
' "i course, his words arc
j r naught. "Let it suffice thee;
 i ak no more unto Me of this
I ter." So n plies God, therebj
. forming pour Moses that the
- bjeel is no longer open for dis-
ssion Yet, the matter is not
alfy (I. I-., d. for there follows still
oluSer verse which adds dimen-
in to what h;>N gone before: "Get
<< up into the top ol Pisgah and
it thinr eyes westward and north-
nil and southward and eastward,
d behold with thine eyes ."
id in that particular verse, there
n In- found a groat insight into
< nature and limits oi prayer,
Kach oi us has b< one time or
< other poured out his heart in
ayerful yearning, requesting this
.or or that from the Almighty.
i often the response is not the
io we seek, and we w o n d e r
aether God really listens or real-
cares, What we forget, at such
nos, is that we do not stand
one and that our needs of the
imcnt may not Ix1 in consonance
.th the need-; or plan of the uni-
rso. It is th. n that the text ro-
mds us to look to the north,
nth. east or west. We need to
cognize that God is not. as Rabbi
Roland Gittelsohn om-e put it. a
cosmic bellhop" who waits upon
our every desire. At best, through
prayer we can seek to make God's
needs our needs, and His demands
our demands. The reverse is not
always possible.
A little boy once complained
bitterly to his mother that God
did not answer his prayer, for ho
failed to get a bicycle for his birth-
day.
"But you are wrong," said his
mother. "God did answer your
prayer. Only, He said. No.' "
Local Kahln At

Rabbi Charli s Rubel. spiritual
leader of B'nai Raphael, is spend-
ing his vacation working with Jew-
ish children and conduct inn serv-
U i t at the National Boy Scout

Harry Lasker, Jewish Relationship
Director of the Hoy Scouts of
America. Ho is one of six Jewish
chaplains working in various loca-
tions of the Farragut State Park.
Upon his return. Rabbi Rubel
will present a report on his ex-
periences at the Jamboree at the
I first late Friday night ser\ ice oi
the now season.
Choir Prepares For
High Holy Day Services
The senior choir of Temple
Adath Yeshurun of North Miami
Beach has started preparation for
High Holy Day services. The choir
this year will present more elab-
orate classical music for Jewish
worship.
A few more male voices will bo
accepted. Cantor Tibor Moses has
announced.
The Amalfkitos, a hostile trilte
mentioned several time* in the
Hil.le, were a nomadic people who
wandered in Southern Palestine
and Canaan. They were defeatod
I'.v Joshua and later In Saul, hut
they continued attacking Israelite
settlements. They were finally de-
feated by David near Ziklau in
Southern ludea. (JTA)
I Question
j Box
Bv RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
Why did the Bible prescribe
that the two oheruliim figures
lie pi a red on the Ark.'
A number of reasons are given.
Maimonidos claims that they rep-
resent the angels who serve as an
intermediary to transport the in-
spiration of the Almighty to man's
world through the revelation of
His spirit. Their presence thus in-
dicates that whatever the Proph-
ets prophesied is true. This point
ol view indicates that just as one
must believe in the existence of
the Almighty he must believe that
the Almighty can make known His
word to man. Another reason given
is that this is a demonstration of
the love of the Almighty for His
people of Israel when they hoed
His word watching over them with
the spirit of love, such as is dem- '
onst rated by the cherubim figures
who lace each other.
Another reason given is that the :
presence of the cherubim on top
of the Ark serve as a symbol that
those who study the Torah (which
is in the Ark) should try to emu-
late the angels who serve God
constantly. Sonio claim that the'
cherubim represent the children
and tiny thus remind us of our;
obligation to keep our children
close to the Torah as the cherubim
are close t,, the Ark. Others, com-
menting in this same vein claim
that the youth-like image of the
cherubim remind us that the
teaching ol our youth is the prim.'
guarantee of our future. There arc
seme who claim that the cherubim I
represent the flaming figures who
watch over the entrance of the
Garden of Eden from which Adam '
v. as banished. Their presence in- j
dieatos that man can some day
return to God and be forgiven anil
thus regain his original place in
Paradise.

of judgment of May a year ago,
everyone sVppaarjj to regard the
French Communists as hardly
more than another bourgeois
party, which happens to have a
special kind of organization and
an unusual degree of support
among workinnmen. It may well
be, moreover, that this Judgment
of tin' Communists is not really
self-deluding any more.
Altogether, then, it is extreme-
ly curious to look at France to-
day, and to remember what was
predicted for France only 1-1
months ago. It teaches a sharp
lesson, too, that ought not to be
forgotten in the United States
The violence of the French
New Left in fact ended by fright-
ening just about everyone. It
consolidated the solid, sensible-
conservative majority, above-
mentioned. It even caused the
Communists to go to work in
earnest, using every means to
insure that they would not again
lose oeotrol ol .\ents. as hap-
pened in the May crisis.
Everything the New Left fid,
In fact, produced exactly the
opposite of the d. sired n
Among the troops oi the New
Left, tin re were, of course. a
good many who did not give a
damn about the results who
merely wanted the feeling of
warm togetherness that irra-
tional v iolence seems to gi i
among certain sorts ol stud< nti
Bui to those who are not wi d-
ded to irrationality as a way ol
life, the French lesson is worth
pondering.
