WILL IT REALLY BE A GOOD YEAR?
Each year for millenia Jews have attended their synagogues
on these Holy Days and have addressed themselves to the
eventuality of a better New Year. Each year this great hope
has been dashed by historical events mostly out of the hands
of our Jewish people. The grinding stones have crushed the
people of Israel at various stages of historic development.
The day that Abraham shattered the idols and proclaimed
the ideal of a “One God” the will of the existing peoples of
the time was hardened against the offspring of the Hebraic
patriarch. The slave quarters of Egypt were emptied by Moses,
and the then nations of the world held up their hands against
them and hindered their pathway to the Promised Land, many
times abetted by the former slaves. In the heydays of the King-
doms under Saul and David and Solomon the battles were
fought against the enemy that was always closing in on this
tiny echelon of people who believed.
The seal of fate was almost heated to the point of extinction
at one time or another. It fostered new religions—two which
became the new tormentors of those who held on to their reli-
gious beliefs. The hand of the majority was heavy and at each
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur—and every day—there was
the petition to their God that the day ahead be a bit easier.
For some there was happiness throughout a lifetime—for oth-
ers, it was a sadder year with the progression of time. Never
has one people suffered so much at the hands of what we call
the “respectable class of religious believers.”
No, the year ahead will be little better than the year just
going into history. Centuries of persecution and deliberate mis-
understanding cannot be solved by “dialogue” or “partial ac-
ceptance of the Judaic people.” It will take decades, or perhaps
centuries, to erase the lines in the testaments which held up to
derision, through repeated lies, the people who gave Western
civilization its religious ideals and its religious inspiration. It
will take many more centuries to educate the leadership, let
alone the unwashed, tp accept people for themselves not for
their nationality nor for their color nor their creed.
But then, Rosh Hashanah is not a national holiday in that
sense of the word. It is a personal religious holiday—one which
focuses attention on the introspection of oneself. This is the
significance of the Holy Days. This is the basic contribution of
the Judaic spirit to the individual. This is the inspiration to
live a better personal life when measured by what has not
been done as by what has been accomplished. It is also a way
of opening the world of inner beauty to those who in their daily
lives find it a humdrum existence, sans beauty, sans under-
. standing, sans inspiration.
The message for Rosh Hashanah is a simple one—if each of
us would be the right person and all shouldered their responsi-
bilities on an individual plane—the world would be a better
one. If the fast tempo were to slow down just a bit for each
one, it would give a greater normalcy to living and the objec-
tives for each man. The prophetic vision of those great geniuses
we know as the prophets looked into the potential world of
tomorrow and set down ideals which man had not been able to
approach in these thousands of years. We have given a greater
a
f
significant impact, in many ways,
right here at home. Contributions
which will be both meaningful to
the individual and to the commu-
nity.
Each year, the Jewish Commu-
nity Council makes great efforts
in meeting the challenges and the
needs of our people and the com-
munity in which we live. But there
is always more to be done. It is
my hope that in the New Year
ahead the Jewish Community
Council will provide even greater
leadership and will stimulate
creative activities in the many vi-
tal areas in which we participate.
At the same time, I hope our
many community organizations
will respond with even greater
enthusiasm in helping us to fulfill
these moral commitments.
With this sense of re-examina-
tion and re-dedication, I take this
opportunity, on behalf of the of-
ficers and executive committee of
the Jewish Community Council,
to wish every member of our Jew-
ish community, and for all per-
sons, a New Year of Health, Hap-
piness and Peace.

This New Year provides all of
us an opportunity of “beginning
again.” An opportunity to re-think
our actions or lack of them in the
year just past, and to begin anew.
To help shape new and exciting
programs and activities which
will provide meaningful solutions
to some of the vexing problems
confronting our community.
True, there are many difficult
problems facing our nation. For
most of us, these are beyond our
reach. We become needlessly frus-
trated with our inability to re-
spond, and move away from any
involvement no matter on what
level. Yet each of us can make a
