TEN
TO
BE
TENDER
By DR. SAMVEL SILVER
(A Seven Arts Feature)
Although Roeh Hashana .*
known as the New Year, it in-
auguratess not the first month of
the year but the seventh.
Why?
Apparently out
sages wanted to
differentiate be
tween the secu
lar year and the
ethical one.
The calendar
may begin with
Month No. 1,
originally Nissan, when Spring
breaks out upon the world.
But the time for moral stock
taking ought to be associated
with another month. The one
chosen was the seventh month,
Tishri. Thus we read in the Bible
that the time of the sounding of
the Shofar should be the first
day of the seventh month, and
the time to “afflict our souls,”
that i^to fast, should be on the
tenth day" of Tishri.
That the seventh month should
be chosen should not astonish us
because seven is a favorite re
ligious numeral in Jewish life.
Perhaps because each day is
precious to us, and the week is
regarded as moving towards its
climax, the Sabbath, seven is
special. The seventh day is a
holy one. The seventh month is
the time^for the beginning of the
spiritual year. Seven times seven
years constitutes the period of
the Jubilee when freedom and
release are called for. Inciden
tally, the English word, jubilate,
comes from this verbal source.
If the number seven is under
scored on the High Holydays, so
is the number ten.
The High Holydays are a span
of ten days during which we are
urged to consider our own deeds,
adjudge our lives with candor,
strive to reform the quality of
our life, recall the wrongs we
have committed, seek to gain
pardon from those we have hurt,
find the strength to forgive those
who have harmed u; and gird
ourselves for the following year.
Why ten days?
Well, our moral law is pred
icated upon Ten Words, the
Commandments given on Sinai.
The Decalogue comprises the
headlines whicli ought to be
translated into heartlines. It is as
though our tradition were asking
us to take one day to ponder
each of the Commandments and
inquire of ourselves to what ex
tent we are heeding them.
What if we ignore the Ten
Commandments.' Then we are
putting ourselves in the position
of Pharaoh, who repudiated the
call to nobility. And what hap
pened to Pharaoh? He too had a
tenfold confrontation: the Plag
ues. During the Ten Days, then,
we are asked to avoid the Ten
Plagues by adhering to the Ten
Commandments.
One rabbinical sage has opined
that the number ten was chosen
because it was so handy. That is,
the number corresponds to the
number of fingers on our hand.
As we look at them we have a
rule of thumb, as if were, to in
ventory our spiritual status.
Tradition has it that Yom Kip-
pur commemorates the pardon
given to the ancient Israelites for
making the Golden Calf whilst
the Commandments were being
promulgated. The Lord, accord
ing to Holy Writ, wanted to des
troy the Jews for that sacrilege,
but He was stayed in His wrath
by Moses, who pleaded for his
people.
The High Holyday period Is
our opportunity to emulate the
All-Higheet in terms of compas
sion and concern. In other word3,
we are offered ten days to learn
to be tender.

The answers are not the same for every investor. Personal
investment needs and objectives vary with individuals and
from time to time. Changing conditions often alter the out
look for individual companies. Why continue to hold a se
curity which fails to serve the purpose for which it was
purchased?
But we are in a position to help you in arriving at your
decision.
Our sources of information and all of our facilities are
available to help you make those decisions.
