MEMQRI AM MR. JOSEPH LICHTENBERG Math heartfelt praife waf Jhowered iipon Mr. Lithtenberg daring the toiirfe of hit life. Hit frilitfzil intelleet, hit amazing veryatility, hir inarvelozif h7llIN!ZlZ677E.fJ, all thefe traitf were duly extolled while he wax yet alive. Brit no ainoiint of adiilation coiild ever .rziffire to define in ity entirety the great inagnitiide of ehararter that way hif. U7 e will therefore not even attempt to pay tribiite to hif memory by tiilling from a Jtorh of florid adjettivef. W'e will, however, attempt to recall the .fpirit of Mr. Lichtenberg, oar own teacher. Of all the teaeherf at YUHS, it can fnrel y be Jtated that Mi'. Liehtenberg wat the one who entered into the teaching promo- with the greateft degree of enthiifiafin. He delighted in inzparting knowledge, regardleff of itx natiire, And he Jtrove to torn- rnzinirate to all, the J'l0lU61' .ftiidentf af well af the fafter, He wax a inan of infinite patience, and even totally naive qzzeftionf reeeived hif attention. He would explain .roinething twenty tinzef if neeeffary, waiting for the light of iinderftanding to thine in everyone': eye.r. Mr. Liehtenberg went on teafhin g till the very end, for retirement on hi: part would have ineant a difeontinzianee of hit inoft joyfiil artivity. Liehtie war zznderitandably not as fan, inathematieally fpeaking, at the end of hif tearhing career ay he had been .romewhat earlier. Confeqiiently he enjoyed depending on hit better flildfllff to fapply mechaniral detailf. Biit in matter! of theory, he never loft hif toinnzand, for hif mind remained frexh and Jeehing. Upon learning of Mr. Lil'bl6l7bBt'g'.f death nioft of af were Jtriith with a fort of groping difbelief. We knew that he had been zfery ferionyly ill and that he wax not in the prime of life any longer, but fornewhat J'7!bC0l2JTi0IlJ'ly we had amiined that he would be with zz: a good deal longery for within him way rooted a .f0llt'C'E of nearly inexhaziftible energy. Thi: energy, thir ypirit will abide within in as long a.r we rhoofe to cherifh the noble experieneex of our life.

judges The Torah's qualifications for a judge are that he be wise, understanding, and of good reputation. A judge is required to exhibit a total lack of prejudice in making his decisions. He is also expected to be patient in hearing cases. Witli these thoughts in mind we entitle this section.
