THE NEW YEAR
Within a few diys the ten days of repentance will be upon
us beginning with Rosh Hashonah when we stand in judg
ment and ending with Yom Kippur when the decree is sealed
In another climate and another era the occasion was
marked by a depth of awe without parallel in other precincts.
Our community of another day during the “ten days” was
steeped in holiness, quivering with anticipation over the de
creeing script. There was reward and punishrAent, calcula
tions beyond grasp and script beyond deciphering, but the
scribe was always just and his judgment too. Yet the decree
was not irretrievable. Repentance, charity and prayer could
still divert the judgment—and there was hope. There were the
troubles for Jews in the world, but ajways there was the
faith that the Guardian of Israel neither slept nor slumbered
A Jew in those days was never alone, for always the Lord
was with him and his people.
In the climate of our own days the soil unfortunately is
too arid for such sanctity. We of another generation grow
plants of other hues and odors. Yet we would be guilty of
traducing our community if we said 'that the impact of the
“ten days" is now completely lost upon our people. We may
not bend over sacred tomes as did our ancestors at this sea-,
son of the year, but there is a distinctly discernible under
current agitating as as we near the high holy days. There is
a depth of religious sensitivity in our Jewish precincts, mani
festing itself in all obviousness at this time of the season pre
cisely because it had been throttled by manifold circum
stances throughout fhe rest of the year.
On Rosh Hashonah we stand in judgment as individuals
and as a community for our sins of commission and omission.
In all humility we must bow to the decree, but in t^e faith
that it will be diverted by repentance, charity and prayer.
The path to higher purpose is a ladder reaching out to heaven.

A PL Hec shire for
Bermuda Hotels
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Anti-
Semitic discrimination, lone
practiced by some of the Ber
muda resort hotels, is now a
thing of the past, according to a
study published this week by
the Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B’rith.
The League sent Harold Brav-
erman, director of its national
.'iWiiaunftLWflA dOMurUaaat, ..to
conduct "the' survey at the urg
ing of the Bermuda Trade De
velopment Board, a Bermuda
Government Agency The re
quest for the survey followed
news reports last January which
charged an American representa
tive of an important Bermuda
hotel with engaging in a pro
gram designed to reduce Jewish
patronage.

guest houses were surveyed Ac
cording to the League report,
"With some unimportant excep
tions all replied. They indicated
that religion was not a test of a
guest’s acceptability.” The report
concluded: “Most of the practices
of anti-Semitic discrimination in
Bermuda are over. Now there
seems to be a genuine impulse to
get rid of the stigma of anti-
Semitism as well.”
