Friday. Sept I, INI THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE Mi nwiiM ■»»4T we— The Lost Generation By RABBI MORRIS B. CHAPMAN SPIRITUAL LEADER B*nal Israel Synagogue St. Petersburg, Fla. Rosh Hashonah affords each of us a precious oppor tunity to assess our life and to gauge the measure of our loyalty to Judaism. Unfortunately, many of us do not measure up to the high standards required and we justify our limitations by referring to ourselves as members of “the lost genera tion.” Are we being honest with ourselves? It is my feeling that we are somewhat less than candid. Being lost im plies having a destination, and it is only when one can not arrive at his destination that he is lost. Otherwise, without a destination, one is not lost; he is simply moving about aimlessly. This truth was borne home tq me a few years ago when looking at a cartoon showing a little boy, during the Christ mas season, gazing open-eyed at all the toys, with a mother ly type woman hovering soli citously over him and asking: “Little boy, are you lost?”; and he replies: “How can I be lost when I don’t care where I am going!” The truth is that the appeal tq the “lost generation" is a cRshonest one because, by and large, these are not members qf the “lost generation” but these are people who are real ly indifferent and careless. If they were really members of the “lost generation, they \yould be crowding the syna gogues and the Jewish school- roqjns trying to discover the meaning of Jewish life and how to live the Jewish life. r Instead, most of our “lost generation” go about their Best Wishes For The Year 1961-62 5722-23 « a i i r r « a • » o • FLORIDA’S FAMED MINCIAL STRINGS HEALTH RES0RT Tw*nty-fiv« Kink Ml Old Tampa tay aaar Cbarwatar.

What we really need is a “lost generation” of men and women who are seeking, questing, and groping for the answers to Jewish life. With a corps of such men and wom en, there would be a verita ble revolution in Jewish life and Jews would be finding their way home. I wish you and your dear ones a very Happy New Year. I pray that this will be a year of return to Jewish life and Jewish values, so that this coming Rosh Hashonah will be a year of self-fulfillment and the realization of our fopdest hopes. ST.
