However, the battle is still not
over. Unfortunately, there are still
armed clashes along the Suez
Canal, along the Syrian border,
and along the Jordanian border.
It is even interesting to note that

were proclaiming that 200,000
Jews visited the “Western Wall”

they recited me daily prayers. An
injection of faith and courage had
been infused into Jewish veins.
No longer is the story of David
and Goliath merely to be recited
as a Sunday School myth, as a
legend, as a beautiful story of
fiction. We of the twentieth cen-
tury have been able to see this
story actually re-enaCted.

I am happy to have this oppor-
tunity to extend best wishes for
the coming year to all of you. The
year ahead is one of promise and
excitement, of challenge and de-
mand. Events move so rapidly that
it is difficult for us to keep up
with this ever-changing world.
But this season gives us a brief
pause to reflect upon the year that
has passed and the year that will
be.
The past year has brought new
hope to our people. Once again we
are able to look to one Jerusalem.
We have thrilled to the valor of
our brothers in the land of Israel.
But the road to lasting peace is
not sure. May the year ahead see
peace come to the land of Israel.
This is the promise and the chal-
lenge.
Our land too has been too long
torn by the destruction of war.
Too many of our young men have
been cut-off in the prime of life
May this year see an end to that
bloodshed as well.
May all our lives be enriched
by the blessings of peace and har-
mony. May we accept the chal-
lenges that the new year brings so
that we may see its promise ful-
filled.

Jewish History Repeated Itself
Some of the major events of
our past history have been the
exodus from Egypt, the giving
of the Ten Commandments, the
forty year march through the
desert, the conquest of the Holy
Land, the building of the Holy
Temple, and life in the Holy
Land. Unfortunately, we have al-
so experienced many calamities.
However, this past summer an-
other major event was added to
Jewish history. Once again David
faced Goliath and was victorious.
The people of Israel were encir-
cled by more than 100 million
Arab people and more than a
dozen Arab nations, but within
a period of six days they came
forth victorious and with heads
erect, the city of Jerusalem was
once again reunited, and the West
Bank of the Jordan River was
once again in Jewish hands.
Again Jewish people were stand-
ing at the Kothel Hamarabi, the
“Western Wall.” No longer were
we addressing it as the “Wailing
Wall” but rather as the “Western
Wall.” Our days of wailing and
weeping were over. Now was a
time for happiness and joy.
It was even interesting to note
that many Israeli soldiers who
publicly stated that they were
“not religious” stood before the
“Western Wall” and wrapped
themselves in their talethim and
donned their tefillian and wept as
