scure. Anxiously we try to peer
into the future, to learn what the

written, “And the redeemer shall
come to Zion and to them that
turn from transgression in Jacob
when will the redeemer come?
When they shall turn from their

When the Jew shall repent for
his transgression to Jacob, for

May this day teach the world
to learn from the Jew to think
of humanity as well as itself.
And may it teach the Jew to
learn from the world to think
of himself as well as humanity.

new Jew and a new humanity.

of Israel’s sages be realized-
“and God will say unto Israel:
“My children, I look upon you
as if today, on Rosh Hashonah
you have made for Me anew, as
if today I created you-a new
being, a new people, and new
humanity.’’
