Title: A day in the life of a rabbi.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A RABBI #1823 Teaching Jewish ceremonies and customs is part of the regular curriculum of religious schools conducted by rabbis. Training of youth in moral principles is one of the most important duties of the rabbi. Rabbi David de Sola Pool, of Shearith Israel Congregation, New York, is shown facing a responsive audience as he expounds on teachings of the sacred Torah. The Hebrew inscription on the blackboard reads; “Say Little and Do Much” - a Talmudic injunction. Religious schools are held four times a week and on Sundays, and pupils range in age from 6 to 16. On his 13th birthday, a Jewish boy becomes a “Bar Mitzvah” (a son of the commandment), which binds him to perform the precepts of his religion.

Study of the Talmud, compendium of Jewish law and teaching, is considered by Orthodox to be the most important duty in Judaism, because it leads to proper living and action. The rabbi is primarily a scholar and teacher rather than a minister and his main duty is to guide and instruct. Dr. Pool wears a ring which bears the crest of the Sola family of Portugal, which dates back to the ninth century, and of which he is a descendant.
