the day not merely because it was
to have occurred on Rosh Hash
honah, but because we hope 10
benfit by this noble act on the
part of our forefather, Abraham,
who was about to make the sacrl-
flee.
The reason the Shofar is usually
made of a rams horn is to empha-
size the incident more strongly
since it was the ram that was
finally offered by Abraham in
stead of his son. The sound OF
the Shofar on New Years day is
intended to emphasize the solem-
nifty of the occasion, and to call
for a searching examination OF
our deeds and conduct during the
past year. The old year is gone,
a New Year is ushered in. What
use have we made of our time?
How did we spend the life given
to us?
The Shofar reminds us OF the
real purpose of life.
Now in this day of Yom Hadin,
in the day of Judgement, let us
be united for the good of Israel
and live in brotherly love and
have our Judaism and religion in
our heart. Let us pray in the
Hebrew language that kept us
united for so long. And God will
put us in the book of life and give
us a Happy New Year.
