בשו"ת עמק הלכה ה"א סי' מ"ג כתב מו"ז הכ"מ זצ"ל ליישב מחלוקת המג"א והגמ"י בענין קבורת נפל ביו"ט שני של גלויות, ואמר שם אשר בעיה הגמ' בגמ' סנהדרין דמ"ו ע"ב בענין קבורה אי הוי כפרה אי בזיון דלרוב הפוסקים דס"ל הקבורה מן התורה דע"כ סוגיא זו כר' שמעון אתיא דדריש טעמא דקרא, דיש קרא דקבר תקברנו והגמ' מיבעיא אי משום כפרה אי משום בזיון. וא"כ המג"א ס"ל דכיון דאגן לא ס"ל כר"ש לענין דרשינן טעמא דקרא ממילא הוי נפל כשאר מתים להקבר ביו"ט שני, והגמ"י בשיטת הרמב"ם אזיל דב"ל כר"ש כמוכח מדבריו

אחבוק אשפתות, אני האמון עלי תולע, אבכה ואילל, אוי לי, לבי מתפקע! עת אפתח ספר התלמוד ואסתבך בקושיות, אקום בלהב, נפשי תתרעש ואותו אחפש... אוי לי ואללי לי, נפשי תתמוגג בקרבי כי אזכור אשר היה ואינו – מת עלי רבי! הוי, סבא, ענני! כי מצרי שאול סבבוני, אקונן מר, וחזוי ראשי יבהלונני, כי לולא סבי על מפתן בית המדרש לא קמתי. הוי, אבי, ענני! כי נדמית – נדמיתי, מתי. קלוני ראש קלוני זרון – ואתה, אין! ואני אחיה? היזרום נחל אם פסק עין? אם אכלה אש שורש, עץ שתול על שממה יצמח? בלה לב כלב. כלו כליות עם כלי רוח. נתקלקל גוע. אזניו סתמו, עצמו העינים.

The new editorial staff of the Masmid 1949 has just been announced. It will consist of Matthew Katz, editor-in-chief; Norman Lamm and Bernard Ducoff, literary editors; Cy Shavrick, business manager; Alvin Krasna, photography editor; Al Morgenstern, art editor; and David Halpern, technical editor. Assisting them will be Boris Rackovsky and Chiel Simon, assistant business managers, and Erwin Ruch, assistant art editor.Work on the 1949 Masmid is already underway, and the literary section has completed its plans for the magazine. The editors intend to include a series of research articles on topics such as “The American Jewish Scene.” Volunteers are asked to contact the literary editors immediately, as articles will be assigned over the summer vacation.

When the Senior Class was preparing the plans for this evening, and the question of dedication presented itself, we found that there was only one logical choice as to the man whom we were going to honor this evening. Since the choice of a professor in either the natural or social sciences would have resulted in a rabid free-for-all among the students, we had to choose a man who was neither a strictly natural scientist nor exclusively devoted to the social sciences – a sort of happy compromise which automatically eliminated most of the faculty. Furthermore, democratic procedure required that, since most members of the class are unfortunately of Lithuanian extraction, the candidate had to be a chemically pure Litvak. Two more facts were crucial in influencing our decision. One, the fact that all members of the class are Jewish and, hence, have some interest in the Bible; and second, the astounding fact that we all are men. The four corresponding prerequisites, we found to our satisfaction, could be fulfilled by only one man. This man is not a natural scientist and also not exclusively a social scientist. He is an unadulterated Litvak, with the added distinction of having been a student at the Telsher Yeshiva. He is a Professor of Bible and, happily, a Dean of Men at Yeshiva University. In short, he is Mr. Samuel L. Sar.I must admit, however, that the decision to honor Mr. Sar was attended with some difficulty. And the crux of the problem was the very touchy fact I mentioned – Mr. Sar’s being a Litvak. Anyone who has attended any of his Thursday afternoon Bible classes this past year knows of the constant clashes and exchange of words between Mr. Sar and his few chassidishe students, of which I am one. And we Hasidim, though a minority, were seriously considering attaching one condition to the election of Mr. Sar. The condition was one which dared Mr. Sar to pronounce the sentence as a Jew would pronounce it: “ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם.” To which one of my Litvak classma…
