JEWS SUMMONED
BEFORE TRIBUNAL
SERVICES TO BE HELD SEP
TENDER 81 AT LOCAL
SYNAGOGUE
BY RABBI LAZARUS LEHRER
Bnai Zion Congregation Rabbi


Reprinted from The Jewish
Floridian)
Once more. the Jewish people
throughout the world will usher
in the Rosh Hashonah-the Jew-
ish New Year-which marks the
beginning Of a potential season,
elinaxing in the Great White
Day. Yom Kippur-the Day of
Atonement.
observance of the event will
begin Sunday evening, Septem-
Der 81, with services at the local
synagogue)
On Rosh Hashonah, the JEWS
summoned before the celestial
and terrestrial tribunal to give an
account of his deeds and actions
of the past year; to take inven-
tory Of his soul. It is a day of
self-analysis and self-judgment,
an occasion demanding sincere
and honest endeavor to be
cleansed and purified from the
elross of daily life.
The supreme theme of this
awe-inspiring festival is LIFE.
We appear as beggars at the por-
tails of the universe, with a sup
plication on our lips, beseeching
the Creator of the world, the Su-
preme Judge Of the celestial tri-
bunal, to grant us Life. And
with this fervent prayer we join
the nyriads of Israel trusting
that we win be inscribed in the
Book Of a Happy Life.
But before these prayers will
reach the gates of heaven, we
must appear, humbly and mod
estly before the supreme judge
of the terrestrial tribunal-our
own conscience. This small,
whispering voice-the spark of
divinity within Us. can never be
silenced with compromise and
platitudes. We must confess our
selfishness, our greed, our vain
glory! We must make firm res
olutions to change our bad hab-
its, our sins into virtues. Our
conscience can never be APP
peased and reconciled without
such a sincere and honest desire
for a re-valuation and regenera-
lion Of our physical and spirit
ual life.
May this New Year be the be-
ginning of such a life. which
leads men on the road of their
destiny to a happy and content
ed life.
May this season, which marks
revival of Judaism, fulfill its
mission and weld US together in
a strong bond of unity and har-
mony, so that we. too, will write
our own book Of life, dipping our
pen deeply into the everlasting
fountain of love, writing indel-
IDLY upon the blank page our
aspirations to become better men
and women; our sincere good
wishes to our fellow men. and
our humble prayers to our mer-
ciful God in Heaven. the King
of the universe, that He may
remember us, all Israel. and all
humanity, for 4 Happy Life.
