A Message for the Nezv Yen-
By RABBI BENJAMIN KELSON
ll'ihninyton. X. C.
Ushering in the New ^ ear, we of
Israel invariably do so with hope.
Whatever the fortunes or misfortunes
of the past, the future for us is allur
ing with mystery and the promise of
fulfillment. The mystery of the days
to come does not affright us, however;
for we treasure our immortal certain
ties. What are the afflictions of our
personal experience when compared to
the travail of Israel through the gen
erations? What are the burdens we
bear, that we succumb to them, when
we remember the burdens bravely
borne by our fathers? Israel has never
quailed; nor shall we, now that our
opportunities are so manifold and our
burdens lighter, quail beneath those
lighter burdens. Looking back over
the path that we have traversed
through our lives unto this moment,
we may wonder at the darkness that
overshadows it, at the tortuous course
of the journey; we may tremble and
be afraid. But looking forward, as
Israel has ever looked, lifted on the
wings of our faith, upheld by the con
victions that surge into being within
us—looking confidently forward through
the gate of the New Year, we see the
mystic rays of light that must gleam
upon us when our sincerest and noblest-
desires inevitably are fulfilled. For
when we pray, as we do in our holy
season, for strength of the spirit, for
the immutable possessions of faith, our
prayers will surely be answered.
Our country, especially our fair
Southland, has been oppressed by a
blight of drought. Through the ages
in such crises men have always directed
their prayers to Heaven for rain. This
has been the custom in Judaism. But
is not the prevalence of materialism,
cynicism, and lawlessness a menace as
great as any menace of drought? Into
the spirits so parched for the living
waters of faith, may there come in
this New Year healing and courage.
May all the sons and daughters of
Israel drink anew of the wells of sal
vation which eternally are theirs. May
all those who stumble in the dark, who
