DEDICATION
We dedicate this issue of Masmid to a man who is doubly unique.
Professor Irving Greenberg is an extraordinary thinker and educator, being
highly proficient not only in history, his specialty, but in the Humanities
and the Natural and Social Sciences as well. Dr. Greenberg's knowledge
is matched by his teaching ability, as evidenced by the rare combination
of clarity, precision, and subtle humor shown in his lectures. Meeting the
test of a true professor, Dr. Greenberg always stimulates his students to
work diligently on their own.
Dr. Greenberg is also an extraordinary human being; never one to neglect
his students despite an increasingly heavy schedule. Anyone with personal
or scholastic problems knows that Dr. Greenberg is always available with
a smiling face and a sympathetic heart. His encouraging manner in itself
is often the first step in solving the difficulty.
More deeply, Dr. Greenberg's significance lies in that he is the personi-
fication of the aim of Yeshiva University. Never reluctant to draw parallels
and show differences between the heritage of classical Judaism and modern
Western culture, Dr. Greenberg's ultimate goal for himself, his students,
and the institution is "synthesis" in its highest form.
The dedication of Masmid to Dr. Greenberg is only a small token of our
deep esteem for him. Perhaps the only true recognition that can be given
such a man is our self-dedication towards reaching our goal of Torah
U'Madah.
IN MEMORIAM
Dr. Meyer Atlas

(A? I
i"^A ^H
The unexpected and tragic death of Dr. Meyer Atlas on October
15, 1965 brought to a premature end an academic career that
spanned almost three decades of loyal and devoted service to
Yeshiva College and its student body. His passing left an irre-
placeable void in the faculty as well as a deep feeling of sadness
and sorrow in the hearts of his colleagues as in all the students who
were privileged to be in his classes.
Dr. Atlas was an outstanding proponent of the philosophy that
a professor's primary activities should be teaching and then re-
search. He was not only interested in transferring information but
in helping motivate students to pursue learning and to develop a
capacity for independent thought.
Dr. Atlas was a biologist whose erudition was both broad in
scope and rich in depth. As a man, he was modest, self-effacing
and unobstrusive. His personal qualities collectively made him
stand out even in the academic world. He sought neither compli-
ments nor recognition, for he felt he was only fulfilling his respon-
sibilities. Many generations of students are immeasurably richer
for having had him as their teacher — this is his legacy.
Dr. Saul Wischnitzer
Great achievements in life are attained by men with a singular
ideal. Eager to see their ideals implemented, these people put all
other interests aside. The old adage that there is a time and a place
for everything was never intended for these extra-ordinary men.
Their particular commitments in life, which transcend time and
place, are always in order.
Such dedication in any field greatly taxes the devotee. How
much more so, in the realm of Torah, which asks the service of
body and mind, the wakeful hours and the sleepless ones.
Rav Fishman was an extraordinary man, dedicated uncondi-
tionally to Torah and Mitzvot. In other pursuits, total involvement
is often characterized by a frenzied look or an eccentric person-
ality. In Rav Fishman, one saw a staidness which reflected an
inner calm that possessed the Rebbe. Verily, he was an Aron
Hakodesh, a sanctuary wherein the Torah resided.
The growth of a mature tree is imperceptible for it grows in
girth, not in height. So the Rebbe was constantly amassing knowl-
edge of Torah, constantly perfecting his deep love for man, and
his reverence for G-d. His roots in Torah struck deep; he towered
over ordinary men as the cedar in the forest.
It was only when the tree was struck down and we counted ring
upon ring, that we realized whom we had lost.
When we look back on the four years we spent together at Yeshiva,
several of our classmates are sure to be remembered. Those who dis-
tinguished themselves in athletics, class leadership, or in their studies
will be among the first to come to mind. However, there will be others
remembered, not because of some singular achievement, but rather
because of a general impression made upon us. Such a person was Philip
Lieberman.
Phil, was a quiet boy, never concerned with making his presence
known. He knew what his obligations were and fulfilled them to the
best of his ability. He approached every task diligently, finding in its
successful completion a source of personal satisfaction, not a basis for
competition with his classmates. Religious practice especially was an
accepted fact for him; a natural part of his daily life. Even when deathly
ill he strove to perform the Mitzvot. Yet there was another aspect of
Phil's personality that will contribute, perhaps, even more strongly to
recollections of him. He was always ready and willing to be of assist-
ance to anyone in need of help. And of extreme importance; his will-
ingness to help was a true manifestation of his character, and not a
facade or the expression of an egocentric need.
It is in acknowledgement of these traits, that we, the class of 1966,
remember Phil and mourn his passing.
Philip Lieberman

The ultimate goal of any college career must be to aid the
individual toward appreciation of his personal identity. The
contemporary liberal arts college stresses achievement not in the
realm of information as much as in the realm of insight and
experience, and this is to be greatly praised. Modern man faces, as
his gravest dilemma, alienation — psychological, social, economic
and religious. Such alienation can only be alleviated through the
self-realization of every individual within the context of his modern
life. It is in this realm that college serves as the unique attempt
to solve modern problems. The individual is not to be approached
as a unit, a number, another student, but rather as a human
intellect searching for self-understanding and self-appreciation. This
is no mean quest nor are there set pat answers or methods for its
successful fulfillment. The college years are four years of agony —
years of perplexity, of withdrawal, of excitement, of despair, of hope,
of success, of failure — they are years of doubt and frustration,
but they are also fruitful years.
In truth, the quest for oneself is heightened in college.
The easy concession to the status quo, to the fictitious reality
of the "average American" is lost and one is faced with a struggle
for existence, a struggle for one's soul and mind.
To attend a regular college would be to appreciate the agony
of only half one's soul. Yeshiva College alone is capable of aiding
the whole man — the full soul, mind, and existence of the individual —
for it alone joins the secular and the religious in recognition of
the realities of modern life.
Message
from the
President
As you leave Yeshiva College, I extend my sincerest congratulations for your
past achievements and wish you every success in your future endeavors.
Yeshiva College concentrates on the moral and spiritual purposes of the knowl-
edge acquired in a liberal arts college — a center of learning which provides the
opportunity to search and research into the mysteries of the universe, to acquire a
better understanding of the world in which we have been placed, to achieve a
greater appreciation of the lives and destinies of the peoples among whom we live.
Here you have devoted yourselves to the full development of your capabilities as
Jews and as students of Western Culture.
You thus bear the special obligation to further your personal growth through the
unending study of Torah and of all knowledge. In the years ahead it is to you that
we will turn for the leadership of our communities, for the inspiration of our youth.
It is you who will carry forward our sacred traditions.
I have abiding faith that you will utilize your education for consecrated service
to G-d and our fellowman.
Sincerely yours,
SAMUEL BELKIN
President
Message
from the
Dean
Undergraduate colleges have been placing too much stress on professional prepa-
ration thereby helping to create what Ortega y Gasset calls the most specialized
barbarians who know the finest nuances of their specialty but are illiterates in
every other respect. At Yeshiva College you were privileged to receive a broad
humanistic education of the kind which rather than undermine or destroy will —
I am sure — reinforce and strengthen your traditional Jewish patterns and foster
the highest moral and ethical standards and spiritual growth.
As you, members of the 35th graduating class, leave the sacred halls of Yeshiva,
the best wishes of the faculty and the administration go with you. I hope that
whether you be far or near you will always retain interest in your Alma Mater and
her concerns, and I wish each and every one of you farewell in the sense that you
may truly fare well.
Sincerely yours,
ISAAC BACON
Dean

AD MINISTRATION
The college student's life is one of abstractions, of ideas, of philoso-
phies— it is a life too often devoid of nature, of reality, and practi-
cality. The faculty only strengthens this, perhaps, enviable situation
and goads the students into still loftier flights of the intellect and
imagination. It is the administration which must face the practicali-
ties of college life and integrate them into a wholly intellectual world.
The quest for knowledge and understanding is often plagued by the
exigencies of reality — of "closed-out" courses, of program changes,
of graduate and scholarship applications, of transcripts and of bursar's
matters. But a competent bureaucracy is always capable of seeking
the techniques most conducive to a university atmosphere. It realizes
the difficulties of these four years and appreciates the mission and
zeal of its subjects and handles them as the fragile soul-searchers and
soul-seekers they are.

We live in an age where religion is no
longer the basic assumption or premise
used in the solution and explanation of
temporal existence. This is an era "come
of age", capable of mundane existence and
even accomplishment irrespective of reli-
gion. True it is thus an era facing the
gravest religious problems, nevertheless, it
is also an age facing the greatest possibili-
ties of religious achievement. No longer
can religion be maligned as a crutch, an
opiate, a social factor, a political instru-
ment— today the challenge is that religion
is irrelevant. For this we have searched
for four agonizing and edifying years, for
this we shall continue to search — for a
total appreciation of our religion as truly
relevant in our modern situation; as a reli-
gion cognizant of the exigencies and reali-
ties of contemporary life.

"Direction
34
Ours is an age of phenomenal success
in the realms of natural science. Not only
have the applied aspects succeeded in per-
vading society but so have the intellectual
aspects as may be seen in the field of "the
philosophy of science" and the application
of mathematical principles to philosophy.
But the world of science, the world of
cumulative knowledge is one of great pre-
requisites. The search for understanding
or even just competency in science is long
and hard. For four years only limited
amounts of what is really "elementary"
material are mastered. It is frustrating to
study deeply and well and realize that
in essence only the first step has been
reached. It is a far off goal that draws
the scientist. Perseverance is the pass-
word for the four years of search — a
search that will ultimately achieve fuller
understanding of our world and, hopeful-
ly, of man and God as well.

In our era of obvious scientific and
technological advance, our philosophy of
history must involve a notion of progress
and development. Nevertheless, often our
world must be viewed with the amazement
of a Midas — seeing our overpowering suc-
cess become a Frankenstein.
Desperately we search for meaning in
our lives and solutions for our world. With
hope, perhaps naive but still strong, we
turn to the social sciences. Those realms
of thought which delve into man — his
mind, soul, society and environment.
There is no single panacea, no simple
solution; yet, something must be done. Per-
haps noncumulative knowledge must be re-
directed so as to render it cumulative. For
four years we blunder in the darkness of
only elementary knowledge, searching for
the dawn of understanding. The quest for
cures, for meaning, even for simple com-
prehension is a nerve-racking, satisfying,
tortuous, and hopeful search. It is usually
a road of frustration, but the moments of
understanding are of such searing, monu-
mental exultation as to render the agony
irrelevant. The desire to understand is the
impetus for our quest no matter what the
obstacles.

Man's intellectual position is a combi-
nation of two distinctly separate planes —
the mind and the soul. Often the person
is incapable of unifying his personality
and synthesizing the power of these two
aspects.
In truth, the search for artistic self-
expression is an attempt to make these
parallel planes converge. It is through
the language of words, notes, paints, or
objects that we attempt to concretize the
ephemeral notions which flutter through
our intellect with a potency beyond com-
prehension.
We attempt to appreciate and under-
stand the intellectual concretizations in our
history and, through them, our own intel-
lects and human condition. The language
of artistic invention is never pellucid and
is often turgid. But, nevertheless, we search
for our own self-expression and a compre-
hension of that of others through which we
may attempt to accomplish vicariously the
same thing.

Sports have, for generations, been con-
sidered one of the many educational tools
used to produce the whole man. The hack-
neyed "mens sana in corpora sano" rings
through college gymnasia the world over
bringing home the notion of the integrated
student.
For Jews, however, this idea is relatively
new. Perhaps, this is due to Israeli influ-
ence, perhaps this is simply a sign of the
pervasiveness of American methodology.
At any rate, Yeshiva College has joined the
ranks of the thousands of secular universi-
ties stimulating their students to appreciate
activities of the body.
For us, however, Sports are more than
merely an exercise in physical capability
or good sportsmanship. In America, as in
any integrated or religious society, we must
contend with sharp external inroads on our
hitherto tightly-closed religious community.
We must attempt to attain a mastery of our-
selves, to, in a sense, remove ourselves from
the amorphousness of our environment so
that we can better appreciate our unique
position.
In terms of a college experience, Sports
in their intercollegiate and even intracol-
legiate sense, are a necessary condition for
seeing ourselves as equal members of our
society. We contend in purely secular areas
such as sports — and we even succeed in
them. We find our place in the secular sun.
For our separateness must only come from
an equality: an inequality breeds a weak
and abhorrent separateness. By being part
of America, even in Sports, we can better
assert our uniqueness as Jews with a tradi-
tion of millenia behind us.

• League
Game
The Yeshiva University Basketball Team after an
extremely poor start rallied to win four of its last five
games and closed the season with a seven-thirteen rec-
ord. Yeshiva also won its last two league contests which
enabled it to finish with a four and three league record
and a third place tie in the Knickerbocker League.
Although Yeshiva's over-all record was below
.500%, the season still contained many thrills and up-
sets. Among these was the 72-68 upset victory over
defending league champion Pace College. Likewise, the
80-65 triumph over arch rival Brooklyn College before
a capacity crowd enabled Yeshiva to tie for third place
and avenged last year's loss to Brooklyn.
This season was also marked by the great individual
performance of Sheldon Rokach. Shelly, in the 90-82
overtime loss to Hartford, scored 39 points to become
the 5th player in Yeshiva history to tally over 1,000
points. Shelly closed his career by scoring 1,223 points
to become Yeshiva's all-time third highest scorer.
Although Yeshiva loses three senior starters, pros-
pects for next year are hopeful. Improvement over this
year's record depends mostly on the performance of
Sam Stern, the Captain-Elect, who averaged 12 points
a game, this season, while still averaging eight assists.
Sammy, who is without a doubt one of the most excit-
ing ballplayers ever to play for Yeshiva, should have a
great senior year and again provide Yeshiva fans with
many thrill-packed moments.
Another fine prospect is junior guard Paul Palefski
who with exceptional speed and an excellent jump shot
should team well with Stern in the backcourt. Aiding
Stern and Palefski will be 6-4 sophomore Ray Aboff
and 6-5 junior Stan Raphael. The remaining starting
position will be filled by returning lettermen Henry
Shimansky, Dave Hershkowitz, or Mike Koenig.

Returning from last year's embarrassing 1-11 season, the
fencing team was out to establish itself, once again, as
Yeshiva's "winningest" team. And so it did, with an ad-
mirable 8-4 record.
Lacking outstanding fencing individualists (with the single
exception of Howie Feldman ) , the team's strength came from
the unusual team spirit felt throughout the season. The fenc-
ing team, known for publicizing the famous school song
"High Above the Harlem River" and such soul searching
cheers as ". . . when it's cold, Yeshiva!", worked as such
a closely knit team that it may very well have been the spirit
of comradeship alone that pulled them through such tradi-
tionally hard opponents as Brookly Poly and Brandeis.
Another important factor in determining the outcome of
this and, we hope, many more successful campaigns is the
optimal use of two coaches. While assistant coach Marcell
has the responsibility of teaching and preparing the novices,
Coach Tauber can spend more of his time and efforts in
polishing the varsity men. Through the combined efforts and
mutual assistance of both men both the freshman and varsity
teams have been able to learn and improve themselves faster
than ever before.
With several of the most promising fencers as sophomores,
Yeshiva's fencing team is headed for more winning seasons.

WRESTLING
This has been a truly momentous year for Yeshiva' s
Wrestling Team. Under the masterful guidance of Coach
Henry Wittenberg, the grapplers, for the first time have
come through with a winning season.
Unquestionably, the two outstanding wrestlers this
year were Neil Ellman and Shelly Katz. Neil, amiably
known as the Chattanooga Kid, has shown one of the
greatest combinations of skill, speed, style, and deter-
mination ever to be seen at Yeshiva. Exciting the home
crowds with such self-styled moves as the "Possum
Stomp," Neil is sure to be a favorite next year.
The pressure for victory builds up as the match pro-
gresses to the heavier divisions. Knowing that his match
would often make the difference between victory and
defeat, Shelly would wrestle with fierce determination
and drive. Employing some rather nerve-wracking tac-
tics as the "Shelly Shoelace Hold," Shelly captured the
fastest pin record with a thirty second pin in the Brook-
lyn Poly match.
This year, besides the pleasure of sporting a winning
record, the Wrestling Team had the honor of seeing
two of its men entered in the Metropolitan Invitational
Tournament. Although unable to place in the finals,
both men did a fine job representing Yeshiva.
Over the past few years, the Brandeis match has
taken on all the trimmings of an arch rivalry. School
enthusiasm is always at its peak, and this year, with
Brandeis as the last home game, it marked the highlight
of a triumphant season. Amidst a fine array of posters,
slogans, and cheers, the grapplers put on one of the
finest performances of the year. With a victorious sea-
son under their belts, the Yeshiva grapplers are eager
to prove themselves again next year.

TENNIS TEAM
The Y.U. Tennis Team, although weakened by the loss of three starters, held its
own this year and came through with a 3-4 overall record and 3-3 record in
Metropolitan League play. Two additional matches were on the schedule but were
cancelled due to inclement weather.
This was an important building year for the Varsity. The "Big 3" of the 1965
season — Zizquit, Samet, and Lightman — were sorely missed. Coach Epstein estab-
lished as his goal this year the rehabilitation of the team, and the return of the
netmen to their previous formidable strength. The 1, 2, 3 positions were filled by
freshman Joe Eichenbaum, George Kornfeld, and returning letterman Viv Kops
(the Captain).
Yeshiva had no easy matches this year, and in most cases, the contest was not
decided until the last doubles match was completed. Of the three Yeshiva victories,
two were decided by margins of 5-4. Overall, the doubles teams of Eichenbaum-
Kops and Kornfeld-Moos were the most consistent winners.
The 1967 outlook is excellent. Of the starters this year only Captain Vic Kops
will be lost by graduation. A major contribution will be made with the return of
1965 Metropolitan Conference Tennis champion Don Zisquit. Also, freshmen
starters Eichenbaum and Berezin, with a year of Varsity experience under their
belts, will be contending for the top positions. That unbeatable doubles team of
Kornfeld and Moss will be back. And don't discount Dave Shapiro, Tully Polak,
and Morty Lightman, all of whom have shown excellent potential.
The 1967 Tennis Team could very well walk away with the 14 team Metropolitan
Conference Championship.

EPHRAIM FLEISHER MEMORIAL AWARD
King Saul: Man Against Fate
by Larry Grossman
The saga of Saul is a profound psychological
account of the deterioration of a human being.
At first noble and unassuming, Saul gradually
becomes the prey of fear and rage. As a young
man, he is a wholesome, perhaps diffident, rustic.
The Saul who visits the witch at Endor is a beaten
man.
Saul's personal tragedy is merely one dimension
of the narrative in the First Samuel. On a deeper
level, we confront, through Saul's eyes, a problem
that has perplexed religious thinkers from time
immemorial. The king's life-long struggle is not,
I feel, simply a tale of ambition and impotent
jealousy. His enemy is not David, but fate in the
form of the will of God as declared by Samuel
the prophet. Saul's consciousness is the battle-
ground for conflict between man's free-will and
superhuman determinism.
Saul seems perfectly suited for his role as king.
Samuel makes it clear that it is not the true will of
God to have a monarch over Israel: "Ye have
this day rejected your God, who Himself saveth
you out of all your calamities and your distresses;
and ye have said unto Him: Nay, but set a king
over us."1 Saul matches Godly reluctance with
his own: "Behold, he hath hid himself among the
baggage."2 The new king is obviously not inclined
to be a dictator. Content in the implied promise
that he would found a dynasty in Israel, he adapts
himself to the loose nature of the tribal con-
federation.
The mysterious hand of fate strikes almost im-
mediately. At Gilgal, the king awaits the arrival
of Samuel before engaging the Philistines in com-
bat. The seven days which the prophet specified
have elapsed. The Israelite soldiers are disorgan-
ized, awaiting royal orders; yet, Saul is reluctant
to disobey the word of God by proceeding without
Samuel. At length, fearful of the approaching
enemy, Saul utters the fateful words, "Bring hither
to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings."3
Preparations for war are underway. The prophet
arrives a few hours too late and Saul's doom is
foretold: "Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not
kept the commandments of the Lord thy God,
which He commanded thee; for now would the
Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel
for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not con-
tinue."4
Saul had not sinned out of a spirit of willfull
disobedience. Concern for the successful prosecu-
tion of the war had been uppermost in his mind.
Extenuating circumstances compel one to conclude
that there is a distinct lack of justice, in human
terms, in Samuel's decree. The word of omni-
potent God has irrationally declared that Saul is
unworthy of kingship. Yet, the king resolves not
to let fate rule him. In Jewish thought, man is not
totally helpless in the fact of supernatural forces;
he has a role in determining his lot. Perhaps Saul,
through some act of goodness or greatness, could
change or nullify the divine sentence.
The remainder of Saul's life is a succession of
various attempts to change the will of God. First,
the king looks to the martial virtues as the means
of his salvation. Before fighting the Philistines,
he vows that no one, on pain of death, shall eat
until the enemy is defeated. His son Jonathan,
absent at the time of the oath, eats to refresh him-
self while the battle rages. Saul is prepared to
keep his word: "God do so and more also; thou
shalt surely die, Jonathan.""' Only the intercession
of the people prevents the king from effecting his
purpose. The bizarre nature of Saul's actions can
be explained in only one way. He resolved to let
no sentiment interfere with his prosecution of the
1 Samuel I, 10:19.
2 Ibid., 10:22.
3 Ibid., 13:9.
* Ibid., 13:13-14.
5 Ibid., 14:44.
war. By subduing the enemies of the Lord with
singleminded energy, he hoped to obtain forgive-
ness and restoration of divine favor.
The humiliation suffered by Saul in his wish
to kill his own son causes him to seek a more prac-
tical alternative in his struggle against fate. It
would be impossible for any outsider to assume
the kingship if he himself could retain army sup-
port. Thus, when the Amalekites are defeated,
Saul allows his people to take the cattle of Amalek,
contrary to the divine command of total extermina-
tion. He also spares Agag, king of Amalek. This
is probably done in order to provide a visible
reminder for the army that Saul had conquered
the enemy and is therefore deserving of popular
support. Saul has chosen the wrong road to retain
power. His fate is again foretold by the prophet:
"The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from
thee this day, and hat hgiven it to a neighbor of
thine, that is better than thou."6 Saul's fate seems
sealed, but he is still not reconciled to it.
David's star rises quickly. His acts of valor
make him a popular hero. The people sing "Saul
hath slain his thousand, And David his ten thou-
sands."7 Saul gradually becomes aware that David
is the man chosen by God to carry out His will.
"And Saul eyed David from that day and for-
ward."8 The king, still believing that human
action can conquer fate, chooses the simplest
means towards his end. Twice he attempts to
assassinate David with a spear. Then, cognizant
of the young man's popularity, Saul devises more
devious means. David is appointed captain so
that he might fall in battle. Michal, the king's
daughter, is given to David in marriage, to act as
a spy for her father. However, David defeats the
Philistines "And Saul was yet the more afraid of
David; and Saul was David's enemy continually."9
Saul now devotes himself completely to the
destruction of David. The king feels that only
through the elimination of his rival can he circum-
vent the word of God. Twice, David finds Saul
asleep. The first time, the former cuts off a piece
of the monarch's robe; the second, he takes Saul's
spear and cruse of water. Each time, Saul tem-
porarily repents his pursuit of David. He says
"And now, behold I know that thou shalt surely
be king, and that the kingdo mof Israel shall be
established in thy hand."10 Although at times the
king seems to despair of affecting the will of God
in regard to the monarchy, he cannot resign him-
self totally to dispossession and oblivion.
Samuel, the prophet of God, has died. Saul is
preparing to battle the Philistines once again.
Through the witch of Endor, the king is given an
opportunity to find out whether the promise of
his doom has been lifted. The ghost of Samuel
tells him that it has not, "Because thou didst not
hearken to the voice of the Lord, and didst not
execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek."11 Saul's
undoing is not the result of his first sin of not
waiting for Samuel before sacrificing. Had the
king chosen, through his own free will, a path of
repentence, the preordained verdict of God would
have been revoked. Saul's mortal sin was that he
used his free will in an incorrect manner, as typi-
fied by the Amalekite episode. Human action
contrary to the will of God can only compound,
not absolve the first sin.
The story of Saul is a study of one man's reac-
tion to the seemingly capricious will of God. Saul
does not use the enormous power which Judaism
ascribes to human action. He wastes it in devising
stratagems to escape fate. Simple obedience to
God is the means for attainment of closeness to
God. Saul was not destroyed by fate; he destroyed
himself.
