thorities, this likewise was a sym
bol of freedom. There was a time
when only the noblest and most
exalted people were allowed to
wear white tunics while the lowly
and the enslaved did not wear such
clothing. Thus the white tunic be
came the symbol of one’s station in
life. Since the prestige and status
of the people of Israel was restored
to them in Egypt on the Passover
eve, white gowns are worn at the
seder to this day to show that every
head of every household could wear
the garment of a freeman and a
prince with no distinction between
the freeman and the slave, as was
the case in Egypt.
Some regard the wearing of the
white gown as a symbol of mourn
ing. This was instituted, according
to some opinions, to remind man
that as happy and exalted he may
become on the Passover eve he
should always temper his delight
with the understanding that even
tually he will be adorned with the
white shroud of the corpse. This
might indicate that the joys and
pleasures of this world are but
temporary.
Others see in this white tunic the
notion of purity, implying the no
tion that on the eve of the Passover
in Egypt the people of Israel were
not only set free from physical
slavery, but were also cleansed of
spiritual impurity into which they
had sunk during their extended en
slavement. Freedom of the body is
considered futile unless it is accom
panied with the purity of the soul.

Here's a game which seems
to suit our inclinations
By SAM MILLER
Of the 15 top-level chess players
who participated in the recent in
ternational tournament chess
matches at Zurich, Switzerland,
eight were Jews, the J. T. A. here
was told in an interview with Mig
uel Najdorf, considered the world’s
top master in the disconcertingly
difficult and exacting specialities of
blindfold chess and of simultaneous
chess.
In addition to himself, represent
ing Argentina, he listed as Jews
Samuel Reshevisky (USA), Laszlo
Szabo (Hungary), David Bronstein,
Efim Geller and Isaac Boleslavskij

(USSR). Two other Soviet players,
Yurii Averbach and the pianist
Marc Taimanov, he described as
half-Jews, adding that the latter’s
wife is also Jewish. Tournament
winner Vassily Symslov is a Great
Russian, however. Next spring,
Najdorf revealed, Smyslov will
fight it out in Moscow for the new
world championship with the cur
rent Jewish world champion, Mik
hail Botvinnik.
The Jewish visitors from behind
the Iron Curtain all belonged to the
post-revolutionary generation and
are so strongly assimilated to Soviet
life that they seem to know little
about Judaism, Najdorf related.
With relish he set forth the initial
bafflement of the Jewish chess ex
perts from Russia when Sam Resh-
evsky declared that religious scru
ples would not allow him to play
on the Sabbath. Nonetheless, they
willingly enough re-arranged the
schedule, so that America’s sole
delegate could leave the tourna
ment room an hour before sundown
on Friday to adjourn to the city’s
Orthodox synagogue.
Reshevsky, a hassid, who was
born in a small Polish town but
came to the United States as a
youngster, never returned to the
room until an hour after sunset on
