New Year Message
Cycle of Life
by RABBI SYDNEY K. MOSSMAN
Shearith Israel Congregation
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
We live beyond our daily work
Replete with constant strife;
By dreams of hope all men
exist,
And cling to fickle life.
I wrote this short poem for
my college literary magazine
when I was just eighteen years
old. I look at this youthful
poem and strangely enough the
thought it expresses looms as
large in my mind today as it
did then.
As my hours turn into days
and my days into years, and
all my yesteryears seem only
as yesterday, one thought con
verges to unite the hours, the
days and the years: that living
is the experience of learning
how to cope with problems but
not necessarily how to solve
them. Life is indeed filled with
constant strife. In my lifetime I
have lived through two World
Wars; I think it was Secretary
MacNamara who counted one
hundred and sixty four con
flicts in the span of my life
time. This on the global scene;
what shall I say of the strife
that exists between man and
his fellow man, a strife that
haunts our every footstep.
These have not been resolved
by our increase in knowledge;
the technological triumphs
have left the inner man un-
solutioned. And if all this were
not enough what about the
strife within each self? Life is
replete with constant strife.
Today as the cycle of the
year 5726 revolves into 5727,
with Rosh Hashana as its turn
ing point, I meditate ever more
deeply on the constant strife.
Is there no end to it? Must
peace on earth and peace with
in forever elude us?
Though my own cycle of
years has revolved many times
since 1 wrote that poem, in my
heart its conclusion remains
the same. Perhaps it is naive;
if so I am guilty of naivete. But
I dream and hope that at least
a part of this peace can be
found and some of the strife be
allayed. I think today of the
words of the prophet that we
shall say at our selichos ser
vices, “Come let us reason to
gether saith the Lord’’, that if
only we human beings can
learn how to reason together
we can bring our dreams to
fruition and our hopes to real
ity. It is this power of man that
can change our worlds. If we
could only reason together in
Vietnam, across the iron cur
tain, over the Berlin Wall, un
der the boundaries of Israel,
atop the loftiness of space, in
the deep reaches of our hearts,
then nations and men could
truly learn how to live togeth
er. If black and white could
only reason together what
miracles we could accomplish.
The constant strife rises from
the paradox that we reason but
never together. We reason only
from our own base and our
own conclusions but not to
gether.
Rosh Hashana and Yom Kip-
pur turning again in the cycle
of our years teach us that
through our reflections on
these sacred days, through our
meditations, through our pray
ers we can learn to reason to
gether, with G-d and with our
fellow man. They are our
eternal symbols that “By
dreams of hope all men exist
and cling to fickle life.’’ Thus
we pray that in the coming
year we shall be granted yet
another lease on fickle life in
order that once again we may
seek to redeem our hope and
fulfill our dream of bringing to
an end this constant strife' by
following the words of our G-d
who said “Come let us reason
together.”
