PLAIN TALK—By Alfred Segal
Mr. Dalid’s Grave Problem
A group of us attended the
cremation of a Jewish friend re
cently and as we were driving
back to town from the crematory
the question arose among us: to
be cremated or to be buried more
Jewishly rather?
I myself interrupted: “Gentle
man, what’s all this fuss you’re
making. Let’s rather talk about
being alive and what to do about
that? What with sputnicks, miss
iles, hydrogen bombs and all
that, how to keep on living has
become a much bigger problem
than how to be buried. Now that
our friend is dead and cremated
let’s rather take up the question
on how we ourselves can keep
on living in the world as it is
today with sputnicks and all.”
But no! One of the group, Mr.
Dalid (that isn’t really his name,
I'm just giving him an alpha
betically Hebraic connotation)
kept on taking about his own
desire to be cremated . . . “It’s
the best way to go from here.”
“Why worry about going from

RALPH H. PH AI
Judge, S.C.A.
July IS, 25, Aug. 1, $
here?” I asked him. “Let’s think
only of staying around a while
to see how it’s all coming out
finally.”
But older Mr. Gimmel (he’s
half Orthodox, half Conservative,
you might say) took up Mr.
Dalid’s challenging declaration
that he’d rather go to the cre
matory.
“You, Dalid, want to be burn
ed!” he exclaimed, “you, a Jew,
want to be burned instead of
buried? You a Jew? Don’t you
know it isn’t Jewish to be cre
mated?"
To which Mr. Dalid replied:
“Yes, but, anyhow, you as a
Jew have just attended the cre
mation of our Jewish friend. If
you feel that cremation isn’t
Jewish why did you go to this
cremation? And you an Ortho
dox Jew!
Mr. Gimmel guessed he went
there on his Conservative side . .
"You see, I’m really not com
pletely Orthodox, and, besides,
Abe was a good friend of mine
and a fine gentlemen. I felt I
should be there for the farewell.
I, this good friend of his! But
Orthodoxieally I myself want to
be buried rather.”
As a matter of fact this kind
of argument between Gimmel
and Dalid is heard in our town
every time a Jew is cremated.
"Is that a Jewish way of being
dead?” an Orthodox Jew will
ask a Reform one. And the re
form one replies: “That’s the
difference?”
There was a time when scarce
ly ever a Jew was taken to the
crematory in our town. Now
it’s a frequent occurrence among
the Reformers and a Reform
rabbi gives his blessing to the
ashes.
Well, when we got downtown
from the crematory the argu
ment between Messrs. Gimmel
and Dalid hadn’t subsided. As
they dismounted from my Chev
rolet, Mr. Dalid said, “Segal,
we’ll let you settle it. You’re an
authority on Jewish matters,
aren’t you? You must be, since
you’re telling the Jewish people
what’s what every week in your
column. Next time we get to
gether again you’ll tell us which
is right: to be buried or to be
cremated.”
I, an authority? The best I
could do was to go to pages 404-
406 of the Universal Jewish En
cyclopedia . . . two pages about
cremation. I learned there that
the Jewish way of being buried
instead of burned seems to rest
on the fact that practically every
body of the Old Testament was
buried not cremated. There was
an exception, though; The Phili
stines had impaled the bodies of
King Saul and his three sons on
the walls of the city of Beth-
Shan. They were cremated by
their followers, the Israelites . .
“The Israelites desired to pre
vent any further disrespect to
or mutiliation of the remains of
the former King,” the encyclo
pedia explains.
Then it goes on to say: “In
the post-Biblical and rabbinical
periods cremation seems to have
been unknown; burial was prac-

HOUSTON, (JTA) — A Day
Center for Older Adults, a new
experimental program under the
auspices of the Houston Jewish
Community Council, will be
opened in the Fall, M. M. Lewis,
chairman of the project, an
nounced this week.
The project, which has been
in the planning stage for a year,
will seek to meet recreational
needs of Jewish men and women
who have either reached or will
soon reach retirement age, a
total which in Houston may be
more than 1,200 persons. Lewis
said. He added that “We believe
this is a minimal figures.”
Lewis said the Council of Jew
ish Women had agreed to pro
vide a volunteer corps to work
at the Day Center under super-
vison of a social worker who
will direct operations of the
program.

ticed as the prevalent custom
and as an obligatory religious
statute.”
It appears, according to the
Encyclopedia that, in the pattern
of Mr. Gimmel and Mr. Dalid
“the question of the legality of
cremation . . . still is a subject
of frequent discussion among
Orthodox and Conservative Jews,
happily witheut bitterness or
great depth of feeling.”
The Reform Jews have settled
it all to their own satisfaction.
As far back as 1892 the Central
Conference of American Rabbis
(Reform) “passed a resolution
which permits its member rabbis
to officiate at the cremation of
deceased Jews. The resolution
stated that there was no war
rant for their refusal to do so
on the supposed ground that
crematon was either anti-Jewish
or anti-religious.”
Still earlier German Jewish
people of Reform persuasion
had got together to promote
cremations in an organization
they called “Wescllschaft fur
Feuerbestaltung. Even among
Orthodox Jews there has been
some relenting as to cremation
. . . "Orthodox rabbis," says the
Encyclopedia, “are permitted to
officate at funerals of those
about to be cremated, provided
they do not witness the actual
incineration, and provided that
they do not in any way have a
share or any hand in the pro
cedure."
Also this: The ashes of one
who has been cremated may not
be buried in one of the sanctified
graves of an Orthodox cemetery;
the ashes, considered ritually un
fit for such burial, must be
buried in a spot apart.
I told all this to Messrs. Gim
mel and Dalid next time 1 met
together . . . “You sure are an
authority, Segal.” said Mr. Dalid.
“You seem to know everything.”
(I didn’t disclose to him the
Encyclopedia source of my scho
larly knowledge.
And Mr. Gimmel said: “But
I want to be buried.”
I wished them both a long
time away from burial or cre
mation. “I wish you to live long
enough even to the time when
you fly up to the moon for va
cation rather than to Miami
Beach.”
