So much hun ger in the world, so much hating, so much wrestling for power in the world, so much injustice. So much to be improved on the earth!” Then Rosh Hashonah tells me that it has been hesitating to come in the world thifcs^eaaon. What for? To start another year of misery on that earth an other year of all the hatefulness? “Yes,” Rosh Hashonah goes on to tell me in the interview, “I really thought of keeping away from mankind who doesn’t know how to behave in the years which he spoils, year after year. But here I am on the earth, after all, and what kind of year will they make for me?” I try to argue the matter with this new Rosh Hashonah: “Oh, dear Rosh Hashonah, you aren’t just another one of those years . . . like the one which starts on January 1st. It was ordained by calendar-makers, but you, Rosh Hashonah, were ordained by God, as a sacred occasion toward mak ing the world as I’ve been told better. We Jews speak up to God through you. " I continue my interview with Rosh Hashonah by reciting some of the words we speak in schul to God on account of the new year: “Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God . . . who bestowest loving kindness . . . Thou sustaineth the living with loving kindness, quickenest the dead with great mercy, supportest the falling, healest the sick, loose th the bound. “And, besides” I go on, “we sound the shofar for our free dom; we sound it for God to hear us. Yes, God comes along with you to the earth, in the hope He and you may make a better place out of this, after all You’re really the noblest of the holy days and may your ideals keep sticking around awhile in the world; let’s hope. Yes, to tell you the truth, I really agree with your Rosh Ha shonah idea that for us to keep on staying down here to make the earth worth while is really much more sane than for us to be spending all that money to get to the moon. What for?” At this the interview came to an end, with Roah Hashonah tak ing me warmly by the hand and saying: “Yes, Segal, I hope that whatever you write in your colu mn may persuade people to make the new year more than an oc casion for going to acbul lor • day or two. Rather, I’ll feel the more honored if people get start ed toward the big idea of making a better world. Then I could be sure that 1, Rosh Hashonah, am not in vain.” At this I awoke and went to my typewriter to report the dream.
