Besides smashing the famous sculpture,
the poor

suddenly unmasked as a primitive idol,

explain his hurried pilgrimage to the
stricken marble lady, kneeling before her
and, of all things, sending her a
bouquet of roses to soothe her bruises.
(Rather reminiscent of young Abraham's
disgust at seeing offerings placed at the feet
of his father's wooden images.)

"Every tiniest fragment" was carefully, lovto

and mourning for the irreplaceable trea¬

whatever it costs to repair it is irrelevant."
One wonders, where were these warm
hearts and salty tears and unlimited funds
from Church coffers when millions were
starved, beaten, humiliated, tortured, gassed
or burned? What of other millions, victims
of famines, floods, wars? Are a Pope's

SOLL ICH WEINEN ?
Der
Prophet Secharjo berichtet von einer
(religioese Frage). In
seltsamen Schaalo
jener Zeit war ein ansehnlicher Teil der
Juden Babylons wieder nach Eretz Israel
zurueckgekehrt. Wieder war ein juedischer
Staat auf heiligem Boden entstanden. Der
zweite Tempel war errichtet und der
Opferdienst ermoeglicht. Schon war man zum
Abschaffen des Fasten an Zom
Gedaljo
geschritten, denn das Trauern ueber Vertreibung aus Eretz Israel (nach Ermordung
Gedaljos) war durch erneutes Ansiedeln
aufgehoben. Wie steht es aber mit den
anderen Fasttagen, die den Verlust von
Staat, Jerusalem und Tempel betrauern
(Asoro bTewes, Schiwo osor bTamus,
Tischo bAw)?
Die Juden Babylons wandten sich an die
Kohanim und Propheten in Jerusalem
mit
der halachischen Frage (Secharjo 7:3):

verlangte G'tt, mehr als gewohn-

und Hueten von

versprach G'tt, wird bald Seine Schechino
wieder in Israels Mitte weilen und der
juedische Staat mit sicherem Scholom gesegnet werden. Dann werden alle Vertriebenen wieder heimkehren und das Land

getan habe

Tischo bAw, denn wenn dieser nicht mehr
zu halten ist, fallen die anderen
Fasttage
selbstverstaendlich weg.)
Aus der Antwort, eine laengere Botschaft
G'ttes an den Propheten, ist die Unschlues-
sigkeit und die Zweifel der Fragenden klar
zu erkennen. Zwar war
juedisches Volks-
leben wieder in Eretz Israel erstanden und
der Tempel wieder erbaut, aber es waren
doch noch nicht Moschiachs Zeiten. Es
fehlten (nach Erklaerung Malbim) sieben
Erloesungszeichen:

"Soil ich weinen?" war Israels
Frage an
G'tt. Seine Antwort: Solange die Ursachen
die zur Zerstoerung
fuehrten, noch nicht
geschwunden sind, und solange das heiss
ersehnte Glueck noch nicht gekommen
ist,
ist Weinen und Fasten
am
Platz.

HAPPY DAYS

happier days for Israel
begins a Mishna (end of
Tractate Tanis).
What
Whose heart hath ne'er within him
promising beginning, full of joy
and rejoicing. Israel has many happy days,
of festivity and delight. (Doesn't Judaism
excel in joy with its bridal benediction a
gushing, bubbling well of synonyms:
nn nn
nnmn *pw
"joy and gladness, cheer and exultation,
delight and pleasure"?) And now, "There
were no happier days for Israel than

bringing showers of joy and gladiness?

.
bubble. Pins puncturing a balloon. We sort
of expected Simchas Torah or Purim or at
least a major holiday — Pesach, Shovuos,
Sukkos. Fifteenth of Av? Happiest day?
We grudgingly make room for Yom
Kippur. Its happiness exists, of course, on
a
spiritual level. Not in food and drink,
song and dance. Come to think of it, a
profound, soul uplifting day, Day of Atone¬
ment and Reconciliation (G'd s gift of for¬
giveness and second Tablets of Law its
historical precedent). But what, on earth,
does the fifteenth of Av commemorate?
Wait. The Mishna doesn't speak of his¬
torical
background
cance.
Rather, of the
of religious signifi¬
nor
way
in which Israel
of old observed and celebrated these
days:
for on them the maidens of Jeru¬
salem, dressed in white, went forth to dance
in the surrounding vineyards to attract the
eyes of the young men
Now we "dig" the happiness. These two
calendar dates were set aside for "dates,"
discreet encounters, social gatherings with
the undisguised object: matrimony.
On Yom Kippur? Yes, indeed! A highly
appropriate day for choosing carefully and
wisely. To paraphrase Scott:
"Breathes there a Jew with soul so dead,
.
burn'd
a
rmm
.
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my holy day?
no
.
.
.
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From year-long wandering astray?"
On Yom Kippur we can be relied upon
to ignore all bewitching
guile and frivolous
temptation.
Fine. Yom Kippur. But what of the fif¬
teenth of Av?
Rarely, if ever, has our people so impul¬
sively draped joy and festivity around a
calendar page, without biblical or rabbinic
decree, as here. The Talmud records no less
than six causes, snatched up by our
people,
to give it distinction:
(1) Last of the desert generation had
died
all were now ready to enter the
—
Land of Israel.
(2) Lifting of the ban
on
intermarriage
between the Tribes of Israel (which had
existed during the first generation).
(3) Peace with Tribe of Benjamin after
civil war and solution of estrangement
problems.
(4) Opening of roads to Jerusalem for
Temple pilgrims (which Jerobeam had
sealed for the people of the Northern
Kingdom).
(5) Burial of slain defenders of Betar,
many years of negotiations with
after
Roman conquerors.
(6) End of wood-cutting season for
Temple supply (wane of summer heat,
needed for drying the wood).
No common denominator, no current of
adhesive similarity run through these six
points. They're all legitimate, of course,
pointing up to such national and religious
highlights as Eretz Israel, unity of the
nation, hero appreciation, Temple worship.
Call them reasons or pretexts.
They sanc¬
tion and authorize a
post-mourning (after
"Three
summer
Weeks" and Tisho
festival of joy.
