BY  DR.  HELEN  HIRSCH
Rosh Hashonah, like a mighty, rock-hewn lighthouse on eter¬ nity's far away shores, has flashed its holy, awe-lnspirtng message through the millennia thus relentlessly preparing potent agencies for spiritual i-enewal to hundreds of generations of Jews.
Striking the deepest chords of human feelings and voicing religion's subllmest truth, the soul-stirring prayers recited during the "Days of Awe" (Yomta Noraim) enshrine whatever Judaism has to say on God, man and his manifold rosponslbillties. "Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel!" is the stern bidding of the Prophet Amos (4:12).
IN LEVmOUS 23:24, it is writ- ten: "All year round, the people are busy at their tasks; but on Rosh Hashonah, they take their shofars and blow them before God; and God Almighty goes from the throne of judgment to the throne of mercy and 1^ filled with compassion for them."
Once again, the soiil-stirring blasts of the shofar bid us take leave of our daily routine and set us to dwell upon our acheive- ments and failures of the year gone by to see for ourselves whether we have succeeded or not In living up to our manifold re¬ sponsibilities.
THIS rs- THB time to relent lessly pry into our minds and souls and to attempt to model our lives to the holy Torah, our eter¬ nal code of law dealing with the duties man. has towards his fellow- men as well as towards his Crea¬ tor.
A harmonious blending of man's moral obligations to humanity and his divine attachment to God, a synthesis between his contem¬ porary environment and his inner spiritual life—this is the high set goal man must try to achieve.-
WHAT IMAHES the "Days of Awe" so fearful, so awe-inspiring is the fateful uncertainty of the human lot to foresee the future. From hoary antiquity on, there has been no change in this aspect of man's precarious existence. The perturbing element of chance has remained.
And so, at the beginning of each New Year, we ask ourselves, full of anxiety: "Who shall live and Who shall die?" Only God Al- mighty knows the answer and in our soul-stirring prayers we turn to Him earnestly imploring His great mercy and compassion.
THIS IS THE time of the year (Continuad   on   peqe   4)

"Who's running for president? . . . Where do I register? . . . I'm freezing! It's too cold to get up . . . Who's David Bluml>erg? . . . What's a Knesset? ... Hi. I'm Cherl Leeman, Columbus, Ohio, Dis¬ trict 2!"
These are some of the many words and sounds heard at the International B'nai B'rith Girls (Convention. Girls from CJanada, the United States, and Great Britain attended this convention, the highest convention  held in  the order of
BBG. There are regional and dis¬ trict conventions, but in my mind none can surpass the Internation¬ al convention.

I had already attended an In¬ ternational convention in 1969 so I knew some of the girls from other districts such as the girl who was to be elected 1960-61 oresident and who was from San Francisco  and  many girls  from
the small town Mass.

OTHERS WHO had not attended an Intemational convention were thrilled at meeting girls from C!alifornia to Massachusetts, from Canada to Mexico. In five short days most of us made friends of girls from all over our Order.
We heard our president, Sara Miller, give her State of the Or¬ der address. We met people such as Anita.Pearhaan, founder of BBG and national past president of B'nai B'rith Women; Label Katz, Intemational president of B'nai B'rith; Mrs. Avraham Har- man, wife of the Israeli Aml>assa' (C«ntfnu«d  on  pag*  4)
