RABBIJOSEPH B. SOLOVEITCHIK

Recognizing the inadequacy of the gesture, wc are dedicating

the 1982 MASMID to Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Shiita, the

Rav. While it is beyond the scope of this dedication to even begin

10 describe the impact of the Rav on the Jewish history of our

time, we can reflect on what his presence here at Yeshiva has

meant to us. Only a small fraction of undergraduates study in the

Rav's shiur and some of us have never heard him speak. Yet the

quality of life at Yeshiva is enhanced for all of us because we at-

tend the school with which his name is associated.

For over forty years the Rav has flown in each week from

Boston, a pace that would exhaust a younger man. Watching him

walk between his apartment in Morgenstern Residence Hall and

his shiur room in Furst Hall surrounded by his disciples is awe-

inspiring. Any act of association with the Rav gives us stature.

Yeshiva University as an ideal, not merely as an educational in-

stitution, gains credibility and legitimacy because of the Rav.

Over the years Yeshiva has been criticized from the left and the

right, from without and even within, but primarily because of the

Rav we must be taken seriously.

Roshei Yeshiva are rarely philosophers. Jewish philosophers

are usually not the most eloquent of speakers. The Rav

dominates our world in both these areas and more. A rigorous

thinker and yet a poet, he combines the precision of Brisk with

an unusual sensitivity to feelings and emotions. The Rav's

description of his grandfather Rav Chaim Soloveitchik as more

importantly the man of Chesed, loving kindness, rather than

the great creative halachik thinker applies equally to himself.

Greatness in Jewish life must be reflected in character as well

as in intellect; the Rav personifies both. His very presence each

week, often at great inconvenience and pain, is an act of loyalty

and devotion to the Yeshiva and his students.

The inllucncc of the Rav extends to the

practical realm of world affairs as well,

particularly in his inspiring leadership in

behalf of the Mizrachi religious Zionist

Movement. The Rav regards the State of

Israel as part of the historical religious

destiny of our people, not merely as a

secular political entity. He has, therefore,

devoted his energies and his considerable

ability to further the cause of religious

Zionism in Israel and support the

rebuilding of the Slate.

Above all, in a world of narrow

specialization, the Rav is a singular

reminder of how broad a Torah scholar

can be. His incredible erudition in many

secular disciplines fits harmoniously into

his Torah-true outlook. His concept of

Torah knowledge is constantly expanding,

incorporating a multiplicity of perspectives

and skills. Unafraid of complexities and

apparent contradictions the Rav

simultaneously penetrates to the core of

the idea while showing the validity of dif-

fering approaches. We could never hope to

duplicate the results of the Rav's genius

but we can share in the realization that a

religious Jew can think in large terms and

need not fear confronting new ideas.

"Be a Jew in your home and a man in the streets,"

was the rallying cry of Judah Leib Gordon, the poet of

East European Haskalah, who felt that this approach

would lead to a general acceptance of Jewish par-

ticipation in Russian society. He himself, though, sad-

ly discovered that his formula would not work; those

young people who had espoused this doctrine aban-

doned the ways of Judaism to graze in foreign fields,

severing all ties with the faith of their parents and

ancestors.

The philosophy of Yeshiva University rejects Gordon's

credo. To be a functioning, contributing member of society, a

Jew need not sacrifice his heritage; on the contrary, the goal of

the Yeshiva graduate is to incorporate his Jewishncss with

everything he does and have it permeate all facets of his life.

Granted, today's America differs greatly from 19th century

Russia; yet like Gordon in his time, we are confronted with a

society from which assimilation beckons temptingly. Our reac-

tion to this beckoning must be one of renewed and expanded

commitment.

We see ourselves as part of a long chain of Yeshiva

graduates who will contribute in our various ways to

American and Israeli life, both as Jews and as profes-

sionals. We will be doctors, but not ordinary ones. Or-

dinary physicians are not produced by a Pre-Medical

society whose annual journal devotes an entire section

to Halachik issues in medicine. Nor do average doc-

tors come from a Biology department chaired by a

Talmudic scholar who has written and spoken exten-

sively on Jewish medical ethics. A special type of doc-

tor emerges from a college which supplements medical

knowledge with Talmudic wisdom. We will be doctors,

but of the kind Rabbi Zalman Posner describes —doctors who can treat a patient, but can recite

Tehillim for him as well.

I

W'c will be hiwycrs ;ind political scicnlisls as well, bul of a

special breed. During our four years at Ycshiva College wc

have had Rabbeini who have not only laughl us what the

Torah and the Talmud instruct the lawyer, but have written on

the subject as well. What was left unsaid could be discovered in

the Chaver program where wc were awed by a Rabbi Bleich.

who beyond being a veritable encyclopedia of Torah knowledge

is a professor of law. Rabbi Dr. Michael Hecht, our Pre-law

adviser is further living proof of the harmonious blend of Torah

and secular law. Career night brought us in contact with

Yeshiva graduates who arc now making noticeable gains in

corporate law, property law, government service and other

legal areas in American society, while still finding time for

Jewish communal work.

Perhaps some of us will follow Julius Berman into corporate law or

Manny Behar to City Hall. But in any case our concern will be real; it

will be the type fostered by our activities in the Joseph Dunner Political

Science Society — in our trips to Washington DC to oppose the

AWACS sale or to lobby at the United Nations for Soviet Jewry.

"It is the American Jew's duty to

bring the unique view of his heritage to

bear on the issues that confront

America."

Medicine, law, and political involvement are far from everything that

instill Yeshiva's unique influence on us and, indirectly, on the world; these

are merely some of the more blatant examples.

Perhaps the most blatant example of all is in the area of Torah and

moral behavior. For the past four years at Yeshiva has molded many a stu-

dent into a better, more deeply committed Jew. Maybe the nights spent

"shteiging away" in the Beit Medrash evoked a change in our very beings.

The beautiful Shiurim, heard from some of the most distinguished Roshei

Yeshiva in the world, have undoubtedly made strong and lasting impres-

sions on us all. Somehow, magically, over the years the metamorphosis has

occurred. Many students have now advanced to the point where they can

proudly declare that they know how to learn. And a few have even reached

the higher level where they realize that there is much to be studied and a

great deal to be accomplished before they can be considered true and

respected Talmidei Chachamim. All this augurs well for the future.

America's Roslici Ycshiva and pulpit Rabbis of

tomorrow arc today's dcni/cns of the Beit Hamedrash,

whose Torah and ethical behavior will have been

carefully nurtured at Yeshiva University, imagine. Asingle such young man has the ability to produce a

tremendous impact; a group of dozens and hundreds

can mean a rejuvenation of Orthodoxy in America.

indeed, a rejuvenation has already begun thanks to

the dedicated efforts of previous Yeshiva graduates.

Some of us will join them in inspiring American youth

to seek Torah and in guiding American Jewish

families along a path of true Jewish observance. We,

too, will travel far to become Rabbis in spiritually bar-

ren communities bringing with us the particular spark

of our personalities, our talents, our dedication and

dreams. We will write and speak, chide and praise,

coax and demand, and hopefully change things for the

better.

^

But our influence, we forsee, will not be limited to

America; Israel welds a magnetic force on us of which only

a few previous generations have been privileged to ex-

perience. That of which our grandparents could only dream,

we can live. Our practice of law or medicine and our profes-

sional careers may be carried out in our homeland. Our

learning and teaching of the Torah can be performed in the

land where many of us studied for a year or two before

entering Yeshiva University. Many of us spent a summer or

two in Israel working for volunteer groups such as T'chiya

and other organizations in which we were able to reach and

develop meaningful relationships with children from all

walks of Israeli life.

In Israel we will be able to join other alumni who have

made Aliyah and have contributed greatly to Israeli society.

Yeshiva University has provided many selfless men and

women who now enrich Israel with their professional skills

and talents.

To have given Israel a Rabbi Aharon Lichtcnstcin would have been

enough of a claim to fame, but he is only one glorious part of a muchlarger contribution of teachers, businessmen, and professionals.

And for those of us who have not as yet made serious plans or thought

about living in Israel, we nonetheless will always remain committed to

the security of Israel as a viable and independent nation. We will use

whatever means we may have at our disposal — political, social,

economic or other to insure the development and growth of our

homeland.

To those who would reject all that has

been written on these few pages as mere

propaganda, which ignores the pro-

blems with life at Ycshiva, we say that

they arc correct from a day to day

standpoint. Our viewpoint, though, is

one of retrospect which considers the

overall effects of four years of our

development. Four years of growth and

maturation into contributing members

of both American and Israeli society.

The effects, if then honestly appraised,

were beneficial ones. We are under-

standing of Yeshiva's.'"--''"-

oblivious to then

s weakpoi

graduatmg class looks back and

looks ahead, but most of all, it looks

beyond. In looking back it gains a new

perspective on the Yeshiva experience

by passing over all the insignificant

details and petty day to day complaints.

Gone are the frantic cramming sessions

and the overdue term papers: schedul-

ing problems and closed courses dissolve

away, as if all the undergraduate

obstacles "were but spirits and are

melted into air. thin air." All that re-

mains is the overall view of our college

experience. And from retrospect wecannot help but being

proud of the past and confident of the

future.

My Dear Graduates

I find these farewell messages always difficult, not necessarily onlybecause parting is such sweet sorrow. But rather because whatcan one say that has not already been said, and said very well,other than to extend good wishes, which are always in order.In fact, however, that alone may be enough. The Birkhat Kohanimconstitute the epitome of benedictions, and they certainly havenever lost their force, in spite of constant and exact repetitionover the millenia.

Nonetheless, even if we can't conjure up some altogether newexpectation, perhaps we can couch it in a new and surprisingway.

Our Hazal tell us that when speaking of a Beit Midrash or Yeshiva,"S Aft )c>'| <^^^ r/'"^ ~ 3 thousand come in and only one goes

out. The plain meaning, of course, is that of the thousand whoenter the Beit Midrash, we're lucky if even one reaches theaspirations of his teachers, of his rebbeim.

I would like to interpret this aphorism a little differently.Namely, that of the thousand who enter the Kotlei Beit HaMidrash,for even one to be viewed as leaving it eventually is overlymuch. Our profoundest prayer in Yeshiva is that wherever yougo, whatever vocation in life you pursue, and however distantgeographically you may literally be from us, the Beit Midrash

'^ _ ^ ~. you never]leave.

Graduates3-2 9-82page two

Is this not perhaps what David meant in the ' T IK 7> T H I

"I have asked for one thing of the L-rd and this I seek: To

sit in the House of the L-rd all the days of my life and to see

the pleasantness of the L-rd, and to visit in His sanctuary."

On the face of it, the request is a contradictory one. First

he says: "to sit in the House of the l.-rd all the days of

my life," and then he expresses the more limited desire, only

"to visit in His sanctuary." But, as we have intimated, it

is possible to be away from the actual physical structure of

the Beit Midrash and to come only to visit, yet all the while

to be sitting in the House of the L-rd for the Beit Midrash

has not left you.

Dear Graduate,

I feel a bit strange, after years of meeting withmany of you on an individual basis, using a group saluta-tion. But it may be an appropriate term, in this briefsummation, serving as a kind of integration symbol, limits-- freshman through graduate.

The academic "dual program" has drawn to a close andlife's dual program begins. its goals are simply stated:making a living and living. I hope that you have indeedacquired the skills for the former and that our JewishStudies programs and offerings have presented the insightsand inspiration that will enable you to live a meaningfulJewish life. And, for the Yeshiva College graduate, thiswould mean not only spiritual purpose, personal peace,contentment and fulfillment, but a serious commitment topromote and enrich community and people.

These are our hopes and wishes to you, today's gradu-ate — tomorrow's leader, from our faculty and institution.

KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

Wisdom is, in the Bible, associated with the heartand not the head of brain. Thus, the architects and buildersof the Tabernacle who were endowed by G-d with "the spiritof Wisdom" are described as "wise of heart", and the Book ofProverbs tells us: "The wise of heart chooses good deeds."

There is, of course, a distinction between know-ledge and wisdom. Knowledge is lodged in the brain, the seatof the intellect, while wisdom, informed by knowledge, drawsdeeply upon the heart, the source of feeling and sensibility.Knowledge is objective and detached, and may have little im-pact on character and conduct, while wisdom inheres in thewise man to mold his personlity and elevate the meaning andquality of his life.

^. -

The ideals of human faith, spirit, and endeavor, de-rive more from the wisdom of the heart than the knowledge ofthe mind. Secular education provides knowledge, but it isTorah learning that adds the dimension of wisdom which in-spires spiritual awareness and religious commitment. TheYeshiva graduate must aspire to be wise of heart even as hepursues the goals of knowledge, career success, and personalfulfillment, and he can do this by maintaining his bond ofloyalty to Torah and Yeshiva.

To all graduates, I extend my very best wishes formany and bountiful blessings.

OFFICE OF THE DEAN

Dear Graduates;

March 3, 1982

I congratulate you on the successful completion of your studies at

Yeshiva College, This is more than a personal achievement. As membersof our fifty-first graduating class, you share with your classmates and

a half-century of alumni a commitment to the Yeshiva University ideal of

Torah u'Madda.

This commitment has required an enormous investment of time and energy.You have subjected yourselves to the rigors of a dual program, each componentof which is in itself demanding of full time attention. You have acceptedthe challenge of integrating your Torah studies with what is best in Westerncivilization and culture.

Your success in meeting this challenge and realizing the University ideal

will be reflected in your lives and careers. Graduates of the past fifty yearshave demonstrated in their lives and careers that this challenge can be metsuccessfully and that the Torah u'Madda ideal retains its freshness and vitality.

Therefore, as you leave Yeshiva College, I urge you to bear in mind thatyou will be exemplars for future Yeshiva College men.

I wish you wel I

IN MEMORIAM

RABBI MORRIS BESDINZ"L

Rabbi Morris J. Besdin, Z"L, was an unusual individual, someone toward whom all his students and col-

leagues felt a special closeness. One might suppose that it was his down to earth, unpretentious demeanor that

drew individuals of all ages towards him. Rabbi Besdin allowed himself to be susceptible to the love of all whoknew him. However, he was a very modest man and could be easily mistaken for the Pasuk:

"Now the man Moses was very meek above all the men that were upon the face of the earth."

His Modesty also brings to mind Moses' descent from Sinai with the second "Luchot," regarding which the Bi-

ble tells us:

"And Moses did not know that the skin of his face sent forth beams . .

."

Moshe Besdin possessed this same quality of unconsciously enlightening all those with whom he came into

contact.

Rabbi Besdin referred to himself primarily as a "Melamed," a clearcut testimony to his great humility. And a

master teacher he was. Not only was he a man of great learning and scholarship, but he additionally had the

rare gift of being able to impart all of that knowledge clearly and concisely to his students. What made Rabbi

Besdin such a wonderful teacher? It was probably that he loved, not only his many students, but also the sub-

jects he taught, one of which was Chumash. The love for Torah came across in each one of his classes, and his

enthusiasm was sensed by all his students. After all, who wouldn't look in and listen intently when entreated to

partake of a "beautiful" RASHI? Students of even the most limited background gained an appreciation for the

brevity and clarity of Rashi's commentary from this great man.

Rabbi Besdin took a deep interest in each one of his students, not only during their freshman year, when he

was their teacher, but throughout their entire stay at Yeshiva and even later. In fact, it still isn't rare to see

various postcards and letters from alumni adorning the walls of the JSS office. His offlce was always open to

any student who had a problem, personal or otherwise, or who just wanted to say hello. He was always checking

with various students to see if they were learning properly and if there was anything that he could do to help.

Even after a long hard day of interviewing prospective students for JSS, he still would set aside time for a

meeting with a student in need.

This rare quality of "Zerizut" which Rabbi Besdin possessed is reminiscent of the exchange between MosheRabbeinu and G-d at the burning bush.

"And G-d called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and He said: Moses, Moses. And he (Moses) said:

Here I am."

Our Moshe, in his everyday dealings with students, faculty, and friends was forever saying, "Hineini," "Here

I am, I am ready to give of myself."

JSS, Yeshiva University, and the entire world will sorely miss Rabbi Moshe Besdin, Z"L.

May his soul be bound up in the bond of immortal life.

IN MEMORIAM

DR. DAVID MIRSKYZ"L

From his earliest years Professor David Mirsky served as a leader within the walls of Yeshiva University. His

sojourn began as a student of the High School, where he was the first graduate of both the Teacher's Institute

and the Talmudic Academy. Continuing on at the College, Prof. Mirsky served as a school leader, contributing

to such activities as the dramatic society and school journals. After graduation in 1942 he proceeded to the

Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Seminary where he received smicha. Further graduate studies were pursued at Columbia

and New York Universities.

All the while a professor of English and Hebrew literature he continued to serve the University, first in the of-

fice of the Registrar, then as the Dean of Admissions, Dean of Stern College and Acting Vice-President of

Academic Affairs. His pervasive influence was felt outside the walls of the University as well. It may be said

that just as David Mirsky served as Dean at Yeshiva University, so too did he serve as Dean of Jewish education

within the greater world of education — Dean of Jewish education within a community composed of Deans of

Education.

Prof. Mirsky was active in, and held appointed and elected positions in various organizations within the

academic world. Among these were; Council of Higher Educational Institutions of New York; Middle States

Association Commission on Higher Education; Governor's Committee on Scholastic Achievement; ModernLanguage Association; American Association of Higher Education; President of the Histadrut Ivrit; National

Chairman of the American Professors for Peace in the Middle East. Working outwards from within. Prof. Mir-

sky was able to further the cause of Judaism as a moving force, in the establishment of regular testing on Sun-

days for the Sabbath observant student. The sight of his black yarmulka trimmed in gold was a welcome and

familiar sight among his colleagues, just as welcome and familiar as were his ready smile and probing mind.

Yet, Prof. Mirsky was not satisfied with furthering the cause of education among educators alone. Hereached out to the masses, the general public. To this end Prof. Mirsky proposed and hosted programs to be

viewed on national television and radio. His series were entitled: "Minorities in American Literaure";

"American Literature — the Voice of Minorities"; "College Clinic"; "Focus on Education"; "America

Through 13 Pair of Eyes, Parts 1 & 2"; as well as a series of broadcasts on Hebrew and Biblical Literature.

Prof. Mirsky was one of the first hosts of early morning and late night media.

We knew him as our professor, our mentor-patient, yet persistent. Results were realized because he realized

the potential within us all. His love of students was obvious. His love of learning was overhwhelming. Prof. Mir-

sky was able to bring to our lives a harmony of humanity and grace, a synthesis of the secular and the spiritual.

David Mirsky was born in the city of Jerusalem, the city of David, to which he has now returned. Under his

influence Yeshiva University flourished. Though he lived a lifetime within Yeshiva, what made him special was

his relationship to the world outside its walls. Through his guidance his students gained knowledge. Through his

endeavors the world of education enlarged. Culture thrived and study flourished. We mourn his loss and shall

cherish his memory. We live on as a testament to the man that he was.

— Yehudah Mirsky

RABBI MICHAEL.^..•...;..c......><...v-J^'

BERNSTEINZ"L i

Very few members of the YC Class of 1982 had the opportunity and privilege to study with my father Z"L, but most of you were his

students. It is unlikely that many members of the graduating class were never taught in the course of their Jewish education, at YU or

elsewhere, by talmidim of my father.

From the time he came to MTA in the early 1930's until his untimely petirah, my father was a part of Yeshiva, as student, rosh

yeshiva, and professor in YC and BRGS. And from the time he returned to Yeshiva to stay in the late 1940's, he was an integral part of

that community in Washington Heights which centered around Yeshiva, a community which no longer exists, but has scattered to

Queens, Flatbush, Teaneck, Monsey, and Long Island. In a certain sense, Yeshiva was my home as I grew up, and my father's home

part of the Yeshiva. He lived in the vicinity out of choice, because he felt that it was not right that a rebbe "teach and run;" later in his

life that choice became a necessity.

He always davened with "the boys," from the days when the minyan was still in RIETS Hall, and later in its travels to Rubin and

Morg. Later on, when my father's twenty-year illness caused his health to deteriorate beyond the point that he could go to shul, the

boys would come up on Shabbat to a regular minyan in his apartment. I still meet former talmidei hayeshiva, including those who never

studied formally with my father, who recall fondly that davening, kiddush and the informal learning which followed.

I have recollections from my earliest childhood of students coming and going in our apartment until late at night, seeking help not

only in their studies, but asking advice regarding careers, jobs, shidduchim, problems and the like. The door was always open to the

talmidei hayeshiva and they took full advantage of it. My father had the ability to speak to a talmid, or rather to allow the talmid to

speak to him until the difficulty was resolved.

And the "boys" did not forget. Whether they were able to visit in New York or keep in touch by mail or phone, a generation and a

half ofYU students acknowledged the debts they owed to my father. He was always glad to join in their successes and to lend an ear in

their distress long after they had left the four walls of Yeshiva.

My father's maspidim in America and in Israel delivered touching hespedim, including his life-long chaver Rabbi Moshe Besdin,

Z"L, who is lamentably being memorialized elsewhere in these pages, and the Rav, yibbadel lechayim, to whom this yearbook is

dedicated. Rather than taking this opportunity to eulogize my father once again, I thought it particularly appropriate that this

memorial to him be delivered by his "boys," remembering him and thanking him, and acknowledging the multifaceted role which he

played in their lives. These comments have been selected, with almost no editing, from letters of my father's former talmidim which myfamily received during our avelut. They are but a few chosen to represent many, and their authors were talmidim in the 40's, SO's, 60's

and 70's.

''The passing of Rabbi Michael Bernstein marks the conclusion and epoch within Yeshiva

University that will never return. From his earliest days of association with our alma mater he

represented the finest of love for students, high caliber scholarship in Torah and related studies,

and commitment to those who were privileged to beneflt from his teaching and friendship."

"My youngest son who is now in his first semester in YUHS came home and told me of the

passing of Rabbi Bernstein, Z"L; he decided to listen to the hespedim, report back to me and

thus represent the family. It is indeed fitting that a son should be present to give kavod to a

Rebbe of his father, a man who placed a light kind hand on us, leaving a strong, distinct

imprint." ^

"A week does not go by in which I do not find myself explaining insights that I have learned

from Rabbi Bernstein. It is clear that he had more lasting positive influence on me than any

other person. He taught me to be dedicated to Torah, to search for truth but to be intellectually

honest with oneself and one's students about one's limited achievement, and to be deeply com-

mitted to G-d and Judaism.

"I was always welcome in your home. Rabbi Bernstein was a person I looked to as an exam-

ple, as a lamdan, a scholar and a human being. I really began to appreciate him more as the

years went by."

''He was a master teacher, and his method of teaching from text and through text was an in-

tellectual delight. One could learn so much not only from his courses, but also from the sichat

chullin of this great talmid chacham. His courage in the face of illness is, of course, a story unto

itself. I cannot speak for others, but, as for myself. Rabbi Bernstein's influcence on my intellec-

tual and spiritual growth was deep and abiding."

"His best piece of advice about the difference between the Yeshiva world and that of baale

batim served me in good stead. The lessons taught me by the Rabbi helped me to be true to

myself and my family and to develop in Torah."

"He was in every way a scholar, a gentleman, and a baal middot, who personified everything

that a ben Torah should be. In addition, he had a deep and genuine concern and affection for the

students of the Yeshiva, and was always ready to help them with a kind word or a warm gesture.

As one who was a recipient of his chesed at a critical point in my Semicha studies, I learned

first-hand of his noble character and mesirat nefesh to all that was sacred at Yeshiva."

At the hakamat matzevah in Israel, one of my father's talmidim remarked, "You had sons who were your students, and students who

were your sons." His family talmidim and talmidim's talmidim have shared a common loss, and we share a common responsibility to

maintain the legacy which he has left us.

Seminarby Stuart Ehrlich

Recently, the Department of ContinuingEducation of Yeshiva University spon-sored a halachic seminar which dealt withthe problems faced by a contemporaryJewish family. Unfortunately, most of uswent on with our daUy lives unaware of

this event. The fact is that thephenomenon of non-awareness continues.This is the symbolic importance of thehalachic seminar. The simple fact

remains that we, especially the studentsof YU, must become aware and moreinvolved with the Jewish community andthe problems it faces.

The many outstanding scholars andorators gathered at the seminar includedmembers of YU's extensive faculty andjudges on New York's Supreme Court.The participants were secondary, though;it was the information that was beingtransferred from one to the next that wasvital. An insight into the program is

necessary. The main idea of the seminarwasn't simply halacha. It was howhalacha and American Law can operatecoherently with one another. Views werepresented on how the Din Torah operatesand which points are stressed, and whichare finely thought out. On the fUp side,

Rabbi Wohlberg, an eminent lawyer,descirbed the operational mechanics of

the American courts in similar situations.

Professor Twersky illuminated thegrowing fact that the Jewish conununitypressures us into taking child custodycases to a Din Torah. He cited some of thedinim that we have in Gamara Ketuvot onthis subject, i.e. a boy, unlU the age of six,

wUl stay with his mother and afterwardsgoes to his father; a girl always remainsunder the custody and concern of hermother. In some cases, the Bet Din musttake into consideration the child's overallwelfare and go against the normalprinciples and conclusions.

Rabbi Genackpresents SOY

Kashruth Lectureby Moehe Orenbuch

On Wednesday, March 17, SOY held its

latest Kashrut lecture. The lecture series,

in its seventh year, is sponsored by the

SOY Kashrut Committee. The speakerwas Rabbi Menachem Genack, director of

kashrut for the Union of Orthodox JewishCongregations, who also gave the

pre-Pesach lecture last year.

Rabbi Genack opened his lecture witha D'var Torah. He spoke about the

obligation of simcha on Yom Tov. Hecame to the conclusion that Pesach has anadded obligation of simcha that is

manifested through the four cups of wine.Therefore, young children who do not gainsimcha from wine should be given nutsand candies so they can enjoy simcha ontheir own level.

Rabbi Genack then opened the floor to

questions. Many interesting and informa-tive topics were discussed. The entire

process of obtaining a hashgacha from the

O.U. was outlined. The poUcies of the O.U.were outUned regarding problems thatcome up in the hashgacha process. RabbiGenack discussed the various problemswith Bishul Akum and Pat Akum (foodcooked and bread baked by a non-Jew)and how the O.U. reaches a satisfactory

agreement with a non-Jewish producer.

Rabbi Genack was able to provide the

students with a basic understanding of theconcept of hashgacha and some of the

detail involved in its application. Thisyear's format, emphasizing the questions

and answers over the D'var Torah, wasgreatly appreciated by the students, since

it enabled them to understand many of the

confusing issues which come up year after

year.

Purim ChagigahRestores Old Style

This year's Purim chagigah broughtback memories of past chagigot as well assetting standards for all future chagigot.This year's festivities began with the

reading of Megilal Esther in variousplaces around Yeshiva and at StemCoUege. The jubilant crowds at the

megilah readings were indicative of the

mood for the evening.

The chagigah began with spirited

dancing, as the students of Yeshivaquickly warmed to the festive occasion.

There were so many students attempting

to enter the chagigah that there wastrememdous congestion at the doors. In

addition to the hundreds of students whocame many Raboeim attended, mostnotably Rabbi Lamm, Rabbi Charlop,

and Rabbi Blau. Rabbi Lamm did not

dehver a speech or participate visibly, but

rather, he spent his time celebrating

Purim with the students, and enjoying the

chagigah itself.

About an hour and-a-half after the

chagigah started, SOY, which sponsored

the chagigah, restored an old tradition,

It's Last ChapterYeshiva established its first

high school, the first high school

in the United States under Jew-ish auspices, in 1916. This school

wa§ originally located in the

Lower East Side of New YorkCity. The Talmudical Academy,as it was called, together with

the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theo-

logical Seminary, The Teachers

Institute for Men and the newly

formed Y'eshiva College, movedto what is now the Main Campusof Y'eshiva L'niversity, in Wash-ington Heights, in 1929.

In 194.5. the late Dr. SamuelBelkin, second president of Ye-

shiva, established a Brooklyn

Extensive renovations of the YCDS Studio Theater are expected following a recent

the Student Union Building last month, issued a very unsatisfactory report.

Lack Of Exits

The principal problem is the JLlBS^6rdAA AwnU9theater's lack of two viable exits.

Though the theater does have

two sets of doors, one is located

behind the stage and is obstruct-

ed by the sets (see diagram,

point Al. In addition, the firemen

objected to the storage of sets and

other paraphenalia in the upstairs

corridors and the ramp leading

downstairs. Also paper and

other garbage from other student

activities reportedly cluttered the

halls and offices of the YC Stu-

dent Council, WYUR and The

Commentator, all of which are lo-

cated on the second floor along-

side the theater. Neitherthe main entry aisle into the

theater (point C), nor the access

aisle to the tiered seats (at D)

meet the necessary four-foot

width requirement. Consequently,

one of the double doors at the

main entrance to the theater (at

B) is partially obstructed by the

seats. A center aisle is also nec-

essary in the middle of the main

seating area (at point E). and

none currently exists. Proper exit

signs over the doors and leading

out to the corridors were missing,

as was a fire extinguisher. Also,

the extensive electrical wir-

theatrical lighting is inadequate.

Currently, there exist two pro-

Slightly Broke

"The University is slightly

now facing is whether Brookdale

ner listed four options currently

being considered by faculty com-

mittees at Kerkauf and Wurz-

The fiscal benefits of renting

prime real estate are obvious.

Though the rented space would

be taxable and compatible ten-

ants would have to be found, the

revenue would, by conservative

estimates, exceed $5(i0,0O0 an-

al.so important financial consider-

ty to stay up until four in the

morning.

In my four years at YU I have had

the opportunity to encounter giants

in the various liberal arts fields, and I

have gained the ability to consumeenough alcohol to make just about

any jerk off the street seem like a

true academic giant.

I have learned the strategic ability

necessary to successfully win a water

fight. This coupled with the

knowledge of how to never attend

classes and still be placed on tlie

Dean's List have formed a strong

basis for a successful future.

The ability to obtain a Bachelor's

Degree (hopefully) without ever

attending class. Also, the Deans'

home phone numbers as well as a

couple of rides in Norman's limo.

The sad realization of how little everybody

else knows.

Yeshiva University has been a

tremendous experience for me. It has

provided me with a firm educational

basis both Judaicly and secularly.

Absolutely nothing. I mean YU'sbeen a real bummer. But have a good

one anyway.

Yeshiva offers more than just a bachelor's

degree and an opportunity to continue

one's Jewish education. Only at Yeshiva

would I have been able to broaden myhorizons by participating in a plethora of

extracurricular activities. Also, nowhere

else would 1 have been able to establish

such meaningful relationships with the

many special people that I have met here.

Rooming with a psychotic lunatic for

six months, I learned the art of self

defense. I can also now appreciate the

term "Survival of the Fittest."

YU proved to be an invaluable ex-

perience for me. I feel I gained a

solid education as well as a keen sen-

sitivity to Jewish ideals and thought.

A Tribute To

There are three minutes remaining in the game. The fans arc

sitting on the edge of their scats. It does not make the slightest

difference that the Yeshiva Maccabees arc about to be crushed

by Lehman. The only thing that matters now is whether Harvey

Sheff will be able to break Stuic Poloncr's eleven year old all-

lime scoring record of 1378 points. Harvey docs not disappoint

his many fans. With only seconds remaining on the clock,

Harvey converts a layup on a pass from Alan Sapadin giving

him 26 points for the evening and 1 380 career points — surpass-

ing Stuie Poloner by two.

For those who are privileged to know Harvey, this feat came

as no surprise. Harvey was just continuing where he started off

in high school. Known in HI LI as the "scoring machine," he set

all types of team and league scoring records. He was voted MVPof the Metropolitan Jewish High School League and played

alongside Danny Shayes (presently with the Utah Stars in the

NBA) in the first annual Jewish High School all-star game.

After spending a year learning at N'vei Yehoshua in Israel,

Harvey came to Yeshiva. He immediately gained the respect of

his new teammates. Playing his masterful "chefs" role, he quick-

ly began to cook his opponents. His burning baseline drives and

precision shooting became Maccabee legends. It may be manyyears before his record of 1 500 career points is broken. Some of

his other honors include; captain of the Maccabees, all con-

ference team for 4 consecutive years, all tournament teams, and

nnally Jewish athlete of the year for 1981-1982.

Harvey, however, is best known for his off the court role. His

dedication to Jewish tradition as well as his wit are well known

to his many friends. In fact, Harvey's decision to come to

Yeshiva was based not only on the quality of its Torah educa-

tion, but also because Yeshiva is the only college of its kind not

to schedule basketball games on the Shabbat.

Harvey, an Economics Major, plans to go into business.

Meanwhile he will be playing professional basketball in Israel

this coming year. Whichever team he plays for will discover a

serious and committed Jew, as well as a natural leader. For there

is no doubt that once in the lineup Harvey will resume his role as

"team captain," in every sense of the word.
