If you read the Israeli press,
' you realize there are other
things than fighting going on in
Israel. We were reading about
some scientific research taking
place there.
Herbert Spencer qi\pe said
that man had a peculiar genius.
He never does anything right
until he has first tried every
possible wrong method.
The obvious eludes us. The
best way to attract attention to
anything is to conceal it. This
applies even to such fields as
power. Man has learned to dig
coal and oil from the depths of
the earth for power. He is just
beginning to study what Dr.
Abraham Oplatka of the Weiz-
mann Institute calls “the oldert
type of transformation known
to mankind, the same kind of
process which every insect and
pvery living being uses to move
his muscles . . .”
We move our muscles with
power produced by chemicals in
QUIZ BOX
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
QUESTION: Why do many
people cover their head with the
Tallith daring prayer?
ANSWER: Some claim that
this is a means of making man
humble in the face of the Al
mighty so that he will be fear
ful of the Almighty. Others say
that this is done so that man
would wrap himself and cover
himself with the Tallith which
symbolizes the commandments
of the Almighty. There are those
who claim that doing so would
aid a man in concentrating on
his prayers and would prevent
him from being distracted by
outside influences.
HUR8TION: Why ta tt that
each of the fringes of a Tallith
has eight strands?
ANSWER: Some trace this to
the Commandment in the Bible
which uses the word for fringe
in the plural (Geddilin—Twisted
Cords). Since the Bible ordered
these cords to be put on all four
corners, and the twisted cord is
made up of two single ones,
two twisted cords would be four
singles which become eight when
they are doubled over. Some
commentaries claim that having
eight cords on each of the four
corners gives a total of thirty-
two cords and thirty-two is the
numerical equivalent of the
Hebrew word for “chai” (JLiev.)
They also say that the number
of cords are thus representative
of the whole Pentateuch since
the Pentateuch begins with the
letter Beth and ends with the
letter Lamed, the two letters
which make up the Hebrew
word for “heart” The fringes,
therefore, are representative of
the Torah as well as the heart,
it being understood that the
Torah is the “heart” of Jewish
tradition and of the Jewish peo
ple.

the food we eat and the same
power can be used to drive a
car. When we raise our hands
we don’t give off smoke and
don’t make much noise and the
same power can be used to drive
a smokeless and noiseless car.
Certain substances are known to
contact and expand when In con
tact with each other and it is
proposed to utilize this faculty
to ultimately drive cars and de
salinate sea water.
At the Weizmann Institute,
they are already using a Dead
Sea salt to turn things in a
small way. Scientists in many
parts of the world are studying
this “new source of energy” but
Israel seems to be in the fore
front of the research but it will
doubtless be a good m&ny years
before the 'car run by this type
of energy is produced.
We were also reading a story
about the visit of Mrs. Hubert
Humphrey and her husband to
Israel In an interview in the
Jerusalem Post, she told of her
dissatisfaction with some of the
activities on the American cam
pus of today. “Oh, the rude
ness of it . . . ,” she said. She
told how some sixty students
had descended on their home.
"I got hold ot a young student
with a very ugly sign about
‘the murder of children.’ I told
him that if he really cared about
children, he could come with me
and work with retarded chil
dren. It’s easy just to carry
signs.”
“It is those who don’t have to
go out and work for their edu
cation that cause all of this mon
key business,” she said. She re
called how as a young woman
she had to take a job to help
finance her young husband’s
college study. “The Humph
reys,” she said, “had to go
through a depression, but they
went to work and didn’t think
everyone- owed them a living.”
“The young people in Ameri
ca,” she said, “lacked the sense
of purpose which the young peo
ple ot Israel who must defend
their country have.”
Maybe the Israeli scientists
can produce n&t only a noiseless
car but a noiseless college stu
dent. Mrs. Humphrey would
welcome it. She loves Israel.
It is one of the most exciting
places in the world, she said,
and “oh the trees, the fields of
grain and cotton.” This is Mrs.
Humphrey’s third and her hus
band’s fourth visit to Israel.
They should settle there. The
Hebrew University would prob
ably give him a job as he has
in Minnesota. When election
time comes around in America,
he could return to America and
run for President.
