Hank Huish the candidate without a party jauntily launched a day of politicking last week alone but undaunted.

Nielson On the same day, the Republican basked in White House attention of President Reagan, and planned a string of commercial endorsements from dominant GOP political officeholders SIk EDITOR'S NOTEAnyone who scans the letters to the editor can get the impression that Utahns are concerned about religion. And let's not pull any punches about it Sometimes those letters come across as salvos of intolerance fired at each other. It occurred to a few staff writers that a few articles outlining the basic tenets of the religions in this state might produce at least a glimmer of understanding That series begins today. To tell everything about every faith is beyond the ability of a newspaper, and it might be argued that it s beyond the capacity of words alone But these articles do have a point of view to them That point of view comes from an old parable that compares God to a bird flying hioh above a crowd of oeoole, so high that they cannot see exactly what kind of bird it is To some people it looks like a crow, to others an eagle, and to others a gull Shou'd the people argue about it? The answer comes from taking a "bird's-ey- e view" of the situation. When the bird looks down. It sees the situation clearly: down below there Faces of Faith. upturned faces a Life of Laws, Rewards Thats how deep the roots of Judaism go. Back to around 1800 B.C E , when Abraham made his covenants with God that have spanned the millema There were people on earth before Abraham, of course, and the Earth and universe eons before that But God was around even before the universe It was He who brought order to the chaos. The first prayer a Jew says in the morning commemorates God's creative will How God did it is open to speculation. The Big Bang Theorv that the universe began from a single, colossal explosion and condensed into what we see today is as good as any other The first few pages of Genesis just set the stage for Abraham and the founding of the faith Abraham lived in the area that is probably present day Iraq Legends say he was the son of an idol maker or a chief priest One day, while his father was away, he smashed all the idols in the shop or temple but one He put his club in the hands of the last idol, and later told his father that this idol had broken all the his It couldn't have. others father insisted It's only made of clay Ab Then why worship it raham retorted The story may be apocryphal but. as far as Judaism is concerned. Abraham's agreement that he and all generations of his family would follow Gods laws is an abiding truth Abraham's frail humanity is ap e or parent He's not superhuman, but a man who has arguments with his wives, who gets mad and even tells lies But what and all makes Abraham distinct Jews since his time is the struggle to become nghteous The struggle is in the love and observance of the laws, many of which may at first seem arbitrary Circumcision, for instance, wasn't or isn t ordered for health reasons The uncircumcised pagans Abraham grew up with and lived among showed no ill effects. No Health Factor Nor are the dietary laws of Judaism based on some sort of health code Even thousands of years ago, people knew that cook- See Page Column 1 semi-divin- B-- By John Serfustim Tribune City Editor Hebrew, the language of the Jews since the dawn of history, has no word that translates into religion. That is a telling point, a key to unlocking the mysteries of this faith. With no word for it, there's no way to define religion in a way that would isolate it as a part of life. For the Jews, religion is life itself. Consider the implications. If all of life is the love and serv ice of God, then God must command how to do everything properly. That leads to some mighty strict rules But as Rabbi Eric Silver, the spiritual leader of Utah's 3,000 Jews, explains it, this channeling of behavior brings rewards And the rewards aren't promises of payment somewhere down the line Theyre in the observance every day Dietary Laws There are dietary laws, for instance, that command what to eat, how to prepare it, and what prayers to say over it But that makes you conscious that you are eating, the rahbi states, "So I can look at a piece of " bread and realize its a miracle Another is the sense of It's family " belonging to a belonging to a group that's 4.000 years old and sharing in that daily history, says Rabbi Silver rard The teachings of Judaism, represented in the picture as an open book Ln Congrega- - tion Kol praise Ami, show the faithful how to with every act of daily life.
