SALVATION IN STILLNESS
Yom Kippur is the day when God seals our individual
and communal destiny for the year to come. It is the great
moment in man’s life when he becomes reconciled with his
fate, though he is eternally hopeful that the gzar din, the de
cree, can still be altered by repentance, almsgiving and sup
plication.
Yom Kippur is one day in the year when man is alone
with God and himself, doing penitence, seeking forgiveness,
recanting error and seeking path. However, the day’s mercy
is not alone in confession or expiation but in man’s spiritual
ascension as he seeks peace with his God and conscience.
The essence of Yom Kippur is recognition of the falli
bility of man and of his striving to return to the path. All
humans strive for regeneration, but the path to its attain
ment lies in aloneness, that rare but sublime moment when
man is with himself and his creator in sanctified detachment
from world and burden.
The sanctity that is Yom Kippur can only be felt not
described. Scripture envisioned the ineffable moment that
overtakes every Jew during the awesome seconds before
Kol Nidre when it counselled man that God was heard not
in the fury of wind or storm but in the quiet of stillness.
Thunder is rolling over the world as we enter our new
year. Let us set our hearts on stillness and on the abundance
that comes from tranquility.

Israel Court Starts
Hearing on Claim of
Iraqi Premier Heir
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The Dis
trict Court in Tel Aviv began
today a hearing to decde wheth
er 17-year-old Abraham Maza-
liah is a grandson of the late
Iraqi Premier Nurias-Said. The
youth is seeking to be recogn
ized as the sole surviving heir
of the assassinated Premier and
to claim his fortune, estimated
to run in the millions of pounds,
and believed to be on deposit in
British and Swiss banks.
While the court would not
agree to hand down a decision
whether Abraham Mazaliah is,
as he claims, the sole surviving
member of the as-Said family,
it did agree to preside over pro
ceedings seeking to establish his
relationship as a grandson.
The first witness was his Jew
ish mother, who testified that
she was married to Sabah el-
eadon
