A Rosh Hashonoh Thought
By RABBI JULIUS MARK
Nashville, Tenn.
I gladly avail myself of the oppor
tunity offered me by the editor of
the Southern Israelite to extend a
word of greeting as the New Year
approaches. No festival celebrated by
any people on earth can be compared
to the Jewish New Year in its
uniqueness. For it celebrates not the
occurrence of an ordinary event in
the history of a particular people,
such as a military victory on the
birth of an individual however great;
it is the anniversary of the creation
of the entire universe, according to our
ancient tradition, and, what is equally
important, the re-creation of the hu
man soul. One readily recognizes the
mighty significance of the Holiday
when he realizes that it is thus bound
up with the deepest emotions and lof
tiest hopes of human-kind.
That life with its victories and de
feats, its joys and its miseries, its
hopes and its desires, is at best un
certain has been vividly and, alas,
tragically illustrated in the life of
Israel during the last months of 5089.
How thrilling was the message that
issued forth from Zurich that after
years of quarreling and haggling and
bitterness World Jewry became unit
ed upon a plan of action in behalf of
our ancient Homeland. Peace at last
reigned in Israel. All Jews, irrespec
tive of their attitude towards Zionism,
were to labor for Palestine. Hut we
were not destined to rejoice for long.
Our ecstatic joy was turned to bitter
mourning; our high hopes were dash
ed to the ground; our gladdened hearts
became seared with inexpressible
pain. The brutality and fury of un
governable passion within a few days
destroyed Jewish homes, mutilated and
slew Jewish men, women and children,
blasted Jewish hopes, undid what
years of toil had accomplished. Once
more Rachel is mourning for her chil
dren.
Shall the setback which Palestinian
Israel and world Israel suffered dis
courage us ? Shall we throw down our
weapons of construction and feebly
ask: “What’s the use?” No, no! A
thousand times, no! Israel has been

defeated before. Time and again y
homes have been destroyed, his g j!

Thank God, never! The blood of pronh

ers still courses in our veins. N or ha*
we ceased to produce Maccabees who

RABBI JULIUS MARK
Each New Year brings with it a
New Beginning. Phoenix-like Israel
will rise from the smoking ashes and
bring new blessings to mankind, We
have not forgotten how to dream of,
and pray for, the welfare of all the
children of men. Weaklings are em
bittered by defeats; strong men are
ennobled by every obstacle. May
such strength be ours in the
Year. May Israel in every land and in
every clime once more renew his loy
alty to the faith of old at the altar
of our God; may he never cease to
hope or to toil until all the work
will become what Jerusalem
named to be, “A City of Peace.
