Little Sun was received by President Chaim Herzog at the president’s official residence, as befitting a tribal chief. For this visit he aban doned the ceremonial garb he had worn on his arrival and wore a skullcap. He spent some time chatting with Her zog, who asked him about In dian tribal customs. The President presented his guest with a copy of his book on the history of the Israel- Arab wars, noting that “you should know something of the Jewish wars, as well as the In dian wars.” The young chief later told reporters he felt both Jewish and Indian but “at the mo ment I feel the Jewish wave is swamping the Indian wave in side me.” Rabbi Joins Priest in English Translation of Aramaic Bible LOS ANGELES (JTA) - Father Martin McNamara, a Dublin priest whose aides in clude Rabbi Samson Levey of the Hebrew Union College here, has sirrsmged for the first English translation in 16 volumes of all the Targums comprising the Arammc Bible (Old Testament).
