graphic Agency, Inc.)
QUESTION: Why is it custom
ajy to place broken pieces of
earthenware over the eyes and
mouth of the corpse before burial
takes place?
ANSWER: Several reasons are
offered, chief of which is the
fact that originally, burial was
supposed to take place directly in
the earth. Since caskets are used
today the broken pieces of earth
enware grant the corpse direct
contact with something that
stems from the soil. Some read
into the custom the symbolism
that man’s life is compared by
the Bible to a “broken dish”
which crumbles in the hands of a
higher power.

rites to cover the grave with
earth?
ANSWER: This is the last
honor to be performed and it re
sembles the loving affection with
which a mother draws the covers
over her sleeping child. It indi
cates that even in death men
should help and comfort each
other. Some feel that it adds to
the forgiveness which the de
ceased seeks in the eyes of the
Heavenly tribunal. Others indi
cate that it is a symbol of the fact
that all will eventually follow
the path to the grave and that the
deceased is only a step ahead.

Warns Against Pressure
For Inclusion Os Israel
In Marshall Plan
Dr. Israel Goldstein, former
Jewish Agency treasurer who is
en route home to the United
States from Jerusalem, said the
task is “to tell the Jewish people
and the non-Jewish world that
in the East-West conflict, Israel
must remain neutral”. Those who
pressed for the inclusion of Is
rael in the Marshall Plan, he
declared, were doing the young
state no service and were “in
viting danger of tremendous
consequences”. He added that
the attention of the Jewish peo
ple must be directed to the fact
that Israel is not yet beyond
danger.

Remains Os Ancient Samaritan
Synagogue Discovered In Israel
JERUSALEM ((JTA) —The remains of a Samaritan synagogue
dating back to the fourth century C. E. have been unearthed in a
site near Latrun under the direction of Prof. Eliezer Sukenik, of the
Hebrew University, it was reoorted here. The archaeological dis
covery is expected to shed new light on the history of the Samaritan
sect.
The area, where the discovery
was made by a group of soldiers,
is on the border of no-man’s
land, which separates Israel and
Arab forces. The Jewish troops
manned machine-guns to ward
off any possible interference with
the archaelogical excavations,
which took five weeks to com
plete.
One of the chief finds is two
mosiac floors of the ancient syn
agogue, which faced Mount Geri
zim, the center of the surviving
members of the Samaritans. The
floors contain a Greek inscript
ion which has not yet been de
ciphered, two candelabra and a
verse from the Song of Moses in
the Book of Exodus which differs
slightly from the Masoretic vers
ion generally accepted by Jews,
i The finds, including the syna
gogue floors, have been removed
i to the Hebrew University under
i authority of the Israel Depart
ment of Antiquities. A complete
study of the inscriptions will be
made by University and other
: experts.
