The Meaning Of Penitence

vice. But the ethical import of
these ancient symbols was always
stressed. In the days of the
Temple, in an elaborate ceremo-
NAL, scapegoat, laden with the
sins of the people, was sent away
into the wilderness. This served
to stress the thought that man
can and must disassociate his life
from the accretions of sin and
evil-doing. The rite was not en-
phasized at the expense of the
right.
One legend, quoted by Schauss
in his book of Jewish festivals,
tells of Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai
and a pupil, Rabbi Joshua, who
stood gazing at the ruins of the
Temple. Said the pupil: "Woe to
us, that the place where Jews were
forgiven for their sins is Destroy
ed" my son." answered Rabbi
Johanan, regret it not. We have
another medium, just as good, for
the forgiveness of sin. It is: Do
good to mankind. For it is writ
ten: I desire mercy and not
sacrifice.
A quaint ritual is that of the
Taschlich ceremony which is still
occasionally performed but which
was often so grossly misunder-
stood that the rabbis regarded it
as bordering on the superstitious.
In this ceremony groups of wor-
shippers assemble at the bank of
a river or stream and symbolic
ally thrust their sins into the
depths of the water reciting the

istic or racial. During these ten
days, the minds of the worship
pers are more attuned than ever
to spiritual considerations. The
prayers and the scripture read
ings prescribed for these days ex-
press for each worshipper the
noble thoughts which should ac-
tuate him in his search for the
good life The Kol Nidre melody
and the cantor's chanting of the
time-honored prayers inspire emo
tons which the hectic urban life
fail to evoke.
AS a further expression of the
penitential mood, tn ere arose
many folk customs which amidst
rich symbolism invoked the peni-
tential mood. Some have since
lapsed and are immortalized in
the words of the synagogue SER

Biblical verse "And thou shalt
cast thy sins into the depths of

wise stressed the need of sepa-

bis disapproved of the popular be-
lief that the observance appeased
the evil spirits thought to dwell
in the stream.
The home observance of Kap-
oroth was another custom which
authorities in the earlier editions
of the Codes branded as super

awe of the Lord as the Judge over
our life's deeds. Two days before

Penitence is a word not often
heard in modern parlance. 1t
calls for personal self -scrutiny and
for the moral reform of the in
dividuals life. In a world of fix
ed bayonets and in home commu-
mites where neighbors are job
less and hungry it may seem ir-
relevant to think of individual
penitence. However, no system Of
social betterment can be imple-
mented without the purging of the
individual soul from greed, sin and
selfishness. BY penitential medi-
tation upon errors and personal
inadequacies in prayerful mood,
the individual can face the new
year with confidence and cour-
age.
The Jewish religious calendar
which marks the turn of the cen
fury, 500, sets aside ten days
from Rosh Hashonah to Yom
Kippur as period Of meditation
and determination. All the
ceremonies and rituals observed
during these days aim to give dra-
matte emphasis to the need for
personal penitence. Especially this
year, when many Jews feel more
sinned against than SHINING, there
is real danger that self-righteous-
ness born out of self-pity would
obscure the need of the experience
Of repentance.
The Jewish High Holidays are
not related to any historic event.
Their appeal is personal and pure
ly religious rather than national

This marks the seventh year in
which your editor has been serv-
ing the Jewish people. Everyone
familiar with the progress of Jew
ish life in this territory need not
be reminded of the role being
played by this publication.
Many of the outstanding leaders
of our community have declared
that the Southern Jewish Weekly
is real communal necessity-an
institution which should be en-
couraged and fostered. They fur
Their asserted that it is the duty
of every member of our commune
ties to cooperate with the pub
fishers of the Southern Jewish
Weekly by paying their annual
subscriptions regularly and
promptly.
Especially during the past year
has the progress Of our anglo-Jew-
ish publication in this territory
taken on tremendous advance.
For the first time a Jewish weekly
has been born in this vicinity. We
are gratified with the splendid
response both from Jews and Cen
tiles in this important venture,
and shall continue to publish a
dignified, clean, thoroughly honest
periodical, playing fair with our
public Jew and Gentle alike.
To all who have helped and en-
couraged us we extend our thanks
and appreciation. To those who
have not become supporting mem
bers of the family of the Southern
Jewish Weekly through paid SUBJ
scriptions or through the use of
our advertising columns we once
again invite you to join and help
us. The more support and CO.
operation of this kind we receive
the better this publication can
become, and the more departments
we can run, thereby rendering
greater service to our community.
Whatever success comes to the
Southern Jewish Weekly is due to
the loyal cooperation of our many
friends who recognize in this pub
LEGATION medium which seeks to
bring about good feeling and har-
mony between Gentiles and Jews.
Our purpose is also to serve the
various Hebrew organizations
throughout our field in furthering
their work by spreading education
and knowledge in all Jewish
homes, in unifying our people, slim
ulating their Jewish consciousness,
and enlightening them with the
latest news events and articles of
special Jewish interest. We shall
continue to give recognition to
outstanding achievement among
our people.
And finally, we shall dedicate
our work and our energies to the
ideals of democracy and fight
Nazism, Fascism, Communism and
anti-Semitism, the four isms
which are violently opposed to the
principles of Americanism.
Again we thank those who have
helped us to serve. May God
grant that the coming year enable
us to publish happier news about
the welfare of our people. Amen.

dishes for juvenile service as 1t is for older folks so do not omit it with the thought the fine touch will not be missed. Very simple decorations will always do, of course. Perhaps nothing more than crescents of pickled beets and twigs of parsleys to give color to some nearly white escalloped recipe; or wheels Of hard-boiled egg which add their measure of food value as well as a nice color note. Tomato slices and rings of green pepper are two other inexpensive standbys that make a pretty plate; and little fancy forms of gelatin in which leftover vegeta- bles have been molded are always a delight to the youngsters. They may serve as their salad course, while they bring interest and color to the ensemble.
 Several good recipes for the chil- drens table are the following for which I suggest appropriate gar- nishishes:
 Clipped Beef With Noodles
 Mdke CTtdIu SduCC uoAll6 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 cups of hot milk. Cook until smooth and creamy and add 1 cup of dried beef which has been cut in strips and sauted until the edges curl in hot butter. Have ready some hot buttered noodles and arrange them in a ring on he child's plate Tn the center pour the cream ed dfied beef; scatter over beef and noodles some very small dice of fried bread and border with half-circles of pickled red beet around the out side of the noodle ring.
 EscallOped Spinach
 Reheat cups of cooked and drained spinach and press 1t through a sieve. Add 2 beaten eggs mixed with IA cup water, 2 tablespoons minced onion, 1-2 tea spoon salt, Ia teaspoon pepper, 13 cup evaporated milk and mix thor oughly. Pour into buttered pud- ding dish and covered with 1-2 cup of buttered crumbs. Bake in a mod crate over or electric cooker until Drowned on the top.
