U.S. Judaism to Flourish
In Future, Says Feinsilver
..... ‘ Judaism will flourish for the next thousand years in Ameri
ca” said Alexander Feinsilver, rabbi of the Temple B’nai Israel
of Sacramento, California, in a talk given last night in Friendly
hall. Rabbi Feinsilver told the gathering that, in his opinion,
Judaism in Europe is through for the next thousand years.
In 1933 there were 8,000,000
Jews in Europe; now there are
1,500,000 and most of these re
maining Jews want to move out.
The Sacramento rabbi reviewed
the literary qualities of the Jewish
book, the Talmud. The Talmud, he
explained, is a commentary on the
first five books of the Bible.
Talmud Parts
The Talmud, completed about
500 A.D., is divided into two main
parts: the Mishna and the Gemara.
The Mishna, he said, is a commen
tary on the first five bocks of the
Bible. The Gemara is a commen
tary on the commentary of the
Mishna.
“The main purpose of the Tal
mud,” the rabbi said, “is to explain
the material in the Bible. For an
example the Bible says that no
one shall work on the sabbath, the
Talmud explains exactly what
constitutes work.”
The Talmud, written for the
Jews in Babylon, is divided into
six sections. Each of these sections
explains some aspect of the reli
gion, Rabbi Feinsilver said. The
theme of these sections are: seeds,
which deals with agriculture; sea
sons, which deals with the reli
gious holidays; Women, tells the
marriage and divorce laws and
sets up the standard for the divi

your choice.
THE "SIDE"
sion of property brought about by
marriages and divorces; damages,
which is the law codes of the Jews;
sacred rites; and spiritual purifi
cation.
“An interesting fact about the
Talmud,” the visiting rabbi said,
“is that many stories such as
Aesop’s fables originated in this
book.”
Rabbi Feinsilver concluded his
lecture by answering questions and
comments from the audience.

Change Proposed
In ISA Constitution
All independent students are
again reminded of the proposed
amendment to the ISA constitu
tion which will be voted on No
vember 27 in the Co-op.
This amendment, if voted in, will
change the present policy of a
single representative to a class
on the ISA executive council. It
would provide for one man and
one woman representative from
each of the four classes.
As this would constitute an im
portant change, all independent
students are urged to vote.
