WttMn a few days we trill be gathered In our syna¬ gogues and temples In ca^tem^atton of the hand at jud^ent that on Yom Vippm jseals our tate.,
We will be standing thei| ;at the threshold of Rosh HashansA, when we gather,} iii prayor for expiation from sih and forgiveness. iManiy are the prayers on th^se days, but in essenceithey add up to one suppli¬ cation: May the Scribe in t^i^,coming year keep fUll covenant with our liopes. Moreover, even though we pray firom the script tliat is before us, on those days many of our supplication^ are uttered in stillness JErom unwritten script. For the tortures that, beset us as we unburden ourselves of our sins are often . beyond the reach of thc^qrlpt that is therttual of the observance. In a sensp then, while we pray for tiw welfare of the many, we reach genuine ascent
when we are with ourselves.
The year has been one of grave crisis forthe world, our country and for Israiel. Ai^ {sveh ds^e enter the -New Year the cloi^ of trbiiUe, ,tenslon and war are over the Jand,, ofmdous, disturbing, frightening.
As the year was drawing to its close there were dark shadows over Eurc^e as Moscow exp^ed tts domain intp the very heart of Czechoslovakia, starv¬ ing in Biafra and concern in Israel as its foes again were flexing their muscles. Surely we will be praying for. peace, but, perhaps more importantly^ vjre ouglit to pray for courage to faring peace lo tills stricken world. '' ¦
The Ohio Jewisb Qhroidcle ^kes this opportunity to wish you and yours a healthy^ happy anc(jiirosper- ous New Year. ^i' "^
