ROSH HA-SHANAH GREETINGS

When in Need of

Rabbi Moses had liven from his
youthan enemy of the Chasidic doc-
youth
trine, which seemed to him an untrue
and wicked heresy. Once he was vis-
iting, his friend, Rabbi Joseph Ascher,
who like himself was an enemy of the
new teaching. It happened that lost
that time the prayer book of .las-
ter Lur i a , the Venerable, who was
the leader of the Chasidic sect, was
first printed. When a copy was
brought to the two Rabbis, Rabbi
'oses jerked the heavy volume from
the hands of the messenger, and cast
it upon the ground. Rabbi Joseph
Ascher picked it up and said: "After
all, if is a prayer hook, nil we must
not treat it disrespectfully."
When this incident was related ta
Rabbi Jacob of Lublin, he said:
"Rabbi Nloses will join the Chasidim,
but Rald.i Ascher will continue an op-
ponent of that sect. For he who is all
ardent enemy may beyome an ardent
1111VOellte; but he whose enmity if self-
o■ ntain«1 and nualerate will never
change."
And so it happened.

they come to where their paths divide
