OFF THE RECORD

(A Seven Arts Feature)
What are the similarities be
tween what Russia has done in
Czechoslovakia and what she
wishes to do in the Middle East?
Zeev Sharef, Israel’s new Min
ister of Finance, in his first
speech in this country before
the Board of Governors of the
Israel Bond Organization, re
flected what is the general feel
ing when he said the objective
is the same.
But there is one difference,
Mr. Sharef noted. The Czechs
have been invaded three times
and they knew when the bar
barians from the east invaded

their country some weeks ago
that Czechoslovakia would still
be there. Israel, on the other
hand, knows that if she is in
vaded once, there will be no
Israel left. Israel cannot afford
a single defeat.
It was not easy for Israel to
go to war, said Mr. Sharef.
‘‘Just as the world did nothing
when Russia invaded Czecho
slovakia,” he noted, “so it stood
idly by when Nasser, backed by
Russia, made its threats. We
hoped that the United Nations
would step in. Then we hoped
that France, which regarded it
self then as our defender,
would do something, but it did
nothing. Then we hoped the
United States might protect it
self, but here too there was
no ' overt action.” Israel has
learned the lesson. It must de
pend on its strong arm.
Israel is not a rich country
and the military budget is a
very heavy one. In this con
nection, the Israeli Minister of
Finance noted with some irony
and greater accuracy that at
the time when de Gaulle boast
ed of the adequacy of his gold
reserve, “one fourth of it came
from the money which Israel
had paid France for arms.”
Obviously, Israel cannot bear
OUR BOX
by RABBI SAMUEL FOX
QUESTION: Why is the sho-
far blown at the end of the Day
of Yom Kippur in the syna
gogue?
ANSWER: A number of rea
sons are given for this prac
tice. Some claim that this was
done to be a signal for the
housewife that the fast was
over and that she can at once
feed the children who may have
fasted that day. (Tosofoth Shab-
bos 114b) Others claim that it
is reminiscent of the blast of
the shofar that would be blown
after Yom Kippur on the Jubi
lee year in the days of the
Temple. (Tur, Orach Chayyim
424) Still others claim that the
reason for the shofar blast at
the end of Yom Kippur was to
signal the community to pre
pare for the mood of festivity
which took over in the Jewish
community at the conclusion of
the Day of Atonement. Some
others claim that the blast of
the shofar signifies the depar
ture of the Divine presence
which has been close to us all
day during Yom Kippur. They
trace this to the Psalms which
write “The Almighty ascends
with the sound of the Shofar”
(Psalms 47:6). One opinion
claims that it is blown to drive
off Satan who begins his task
of persecuting humans all over
again. \

this huge military burden and
at the same time build homes

employment for new immi
grants. Immigrants are as im
portant as arms, and they are
coming in.
Israel is willing to assume a
heavy military burden and
budget. Israel asks nothing
more of world Jewry than to
assume its share in the devel
opment budget for new immi
grant®.
It is therefore good to learn
from Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz
that the response of American
Jews to the Israel Bond cam
paign is most encouraging.

ABOUT BOOKS . . .
This has been a good year for
books, but unfortunately I was
prevented from doing much
reading by aggravating eye
trouble.
One of the most unique books
of the year was Tales of Sende-
Bar (JPS) by Dr. Morris Ep
stein. Spicy, informative and at
times even bawdy, this is the
first English translation from
the Hebrew version of a pop
ular medieval romance which
originated in the East . . .
The outstanding Jewish book
of the year was S. Y. Agnon’s
fascinating novel A Guest for
the Night (Shocken). This is
a story of two worlds, the old
enclave in Galicia in which the
author was born and the new
climate that is Israel. This is
a book of sheer artistry . . .
A novelette of general inter
est which deserved a better fate
at the hands of reviewers was
The Assassin (Doubleday) by
Uri Levi, a young writer who
merits watching. A purely in
trospective work of surrealistic
quality, the novel has a beyond-
the-horizon sweep of overpow
ering impact. In essence it is a
reflection, a highly artistic mir
roring, of the madness of our
times and our society . . .
Of all the books that have
been written about the callous
indifference of the world to
Jewish tragedy under Hitler,
none perhaps compares with
Arthur D. Morse’s While Six
Million Died (Random House).
The volume pinpoints with
painful d o c u mentation the
shocking indifference in the
chancellories of the world, par
ticularly in Washington, toward
what,, was happening to the
•Jews*” of Europe under Hitler.
This is an appalling expose not
only of inaction on the part of
those who could have helped,
but of very indifference to a
wave of genocide which took
the lives of six million of our
people . . .
If you think Jewish occupa
tions can’t make for a good
book, read Walter Duckat’s
Beggar to King (Doubleday), a
recounting of some 200 Jewish
trades and professions, includ
ing the oldest one, from Bib
lical to present times. Among
those coming to mind at this
writing are shepherds, tatooers,
snake charmers, rabbis, hunters,
ivory carvers, horsebreeders,
wrestlers, cobblers, bakers and
scribes . . .
The story of the impact of
the immigrant on American life
is still not a closed chapter.
One of the latest contributions
to that epic is Laura Fermi’s
Illustrious Immigrants (Chica
go University Press). One of the
finest chapters in the book is
the one dealing with the intel
lectuals among the immi
grants . . .
And finally here is an all-
too-brief note about another
author, Rabbi Samuel M. Silver,
and his Quotable American
Rabbis (Drake Press). In the
volume Dr. Silver has managed
to collect a wide and largely
brilliant collection of sayings
by the rabbis of all denomina
tions, and some of them are
gems. The volume contains
some 973 sayings and comments
by contemporary Jewish clergy
men of this country. Rabbi
Silver’s “Silver Lining” column
has been for several years the
most popular in the English-
Jewish press . . .

Your local Fiat automobile dealer is
a successful businessman...by any index.
The 28,000 cars he will help sell in
America in 1968 will be a 86.6% increase
over 1967. The quota anticipated for 1969:
50,000 cars.
His sales acceleration and profits
have made the 450-dealer organization of
Fiat-Roosevelt Motors one of the glamor-
growth stories of automotive merchandising
,in the U.S.A. Total sales of 1,365,000 units
last year raised Fiat to the position of the
fourth largest automobile manufacturer in
the world—a four-fold gain in production in.
ten years.
To display everything that stands be
hind a Fiat dealership would take a show
room as big as a typical small town. There
would be Fiat jet defense planes, Fiat rail
cars, Fiat marine engines, Fiat farm equip
ment, Fiat earth-movers, Fiat electrical gen
erators—all of the diverse industrial products
which go to make Fiat the twelfth largest
industrial complex outside the U.S.A. with
sales of over $ 1.7 billion.
But what makes your local Fiat dealer
a successful businessman is not the sheet size
of the industry that stands behind his cars,
nor the nationwide distribution network
that stands ready to sell and service them. It
is the destiny-tipping good fortune of hav
ing the right cars to sell at the right time in
the right place.
