Draluck, Treasurer New Year Message Presence of G-D By Rabbi Emanuel Feldman CONGREGATION BETH JACOB, ATLANTA, GA. Rabbi Feldman wrote this while en route to Israel for a Sabbatical from his spiritual leadership in Atlanta. After settling his family in Israel, he has returned to conduct High Holy Days services and will be back in the Mid-East in time to join the faculty at Bar Ilan University. This is being written on the high seas—a little too high for our comfort at the moment— on our way to Israel. One has a chance to think on a sea voyage. You sit on the deck and nothing is in sight but the vast expanse of water, sky and stars. The magnitude of it all inspires awe. You wonder, as you stand under a vast dome of stars, how men can go through life not believing in a creator. A 30,000 ton ship, 2 Vi city blocks long, several stories high rocks like a toy in the midst of a strang gale, and the waves heave and smash 30 feet high, and the wind howls across the deck— and for a moment you under stand the meaning of the words of our daily prayers— “Hael h a g a d o 1 hagibor v’hanorah—The L-d, great mighty and awesome—” and of the words of the Psalms in chapter 107: “They who go down to the sea in ships . . . they saw the works of the L-d, and his wonders in the depths.” Here all around us is the presence of the almighty. But you don’t have to be on the ocean to feel the presence of the Holy One. We are all voyagers through life, and G-d is present not only in the whirlwirid, but in the still, small, quiet moments of daily life as well. We need only to be awake and attuned to Him, through study of Torah and observance of his Mitzvos, and He will be felt and per ceived. May G-d grant, as we ap proach the New Year, that all of us may return to the cen tral truths of our faith: the existence of a personal G-d, and the need to commit our lives to him.
