THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE, June 27, 1975 - PACE 12 Jewish Quiz Box By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX QUESTION: What is the “Naturei Karta?” ANSWER: This is a term currently applied to the most ex treme religious faction in the State of Israel. Many of this sect refuse to recognize Israel as a State until the arrival of the Messiah. The name “Naturei Karta" has an in teresting origin. It technically means “keepers of the gates.” Rabbi Judah once was said to have sent his students to survey the con dition of scholarship throughout the land of Israel. They arrived at a certain city and found no scribe or scholar. They asked the city fathers to bring to them the watchers of the gates. When they brought before the students the gate keepers, who literally were the watchmen of the physical gates, the students replied: “These are not watchmen of the gates. They arc the destroyers.” When the townspeople asked them, "Who are the keepers of the gates?" they replied, “These are really the scholars, scribes and teachers." The indication was, of course, that the solidification of a city or a country rests with its religious leaders and religious scholars. Thus, in defiance of the literal government leaders, this sect set themselves up as an autonomous body claiming authority over their own domain because of their piety and scholarship. (Talmud Verushalmi, Chagigah, Chapter I) QUESTION: What are the "Misnagdim?” ANSWER: The term Mizrachi Plana July Cake Sale Mizrachi Women will hold a cake sale from 11 a m. until 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, July 2 and 3 at the Buford Clairmont ‘"Misnagdimf means ''op ponents.” It W>as applied to those who opposed the Hasidic move ment in the early 19th century. They were Especially prominent in Lithuania and White Russia. Most famous among those opponents was the famous Gaon of Vilna, Rabbi Elijah. The opposition was stimulated by a fear that the move ment would weaken the intellec tual facet of Judaism and might lead to superstitions which were unfounded. Even though that part of the Jewish population which does not follow Hasidic tendencies are no longer “opponents” in the strict sense of the word, the term is still used as a distinguishing feature, making a distinction between Hasidim and other Jews.
