' In the Spirit of ROSH HASHONAH We Take Pleasure In Extending Our Best Wishes for a Happy Holiday By RABBI JOSEPH EISENMAN RACHEL LENA DAVIS The passing year will be recorded in history as a year of unemployment, industrial depression, earth- quakes, drought, crime, discontent, restlessness, disre- spect for law and order and a general disregard for spiritual and moral values. Not a pretty picture. To climax it all we note a most heartless shattering of our hopes in Palestine by the British government. Is it not time that we pause in the rush of our daily routine and inquire whence come these ills, what is their cause, and what is their remedy? During the past decade we have observed the practical workings of a philosophy based on materialism. Those who have preached this doctrine have seen their efforts bear fruit—a harvest of misery and suffering. At a time when we possess an over-abundance of all things essential to human comfort and happiness we see so much want and privation. Confronted with these facts is it still possible to accept this doctrine of material- ism, selfishness and greed? No. To further persist along these lines is to lapse into a state of moral decay and final dissolution. "Turn, 0 Israel, unto the Lord." So spoke the prophets of old, and therein lies the hope of our salva- tion. We must return to our Torah, our Scriptures, our spiritual treasures. We must again strive to do justice, to love mercy, and walk humbly before God. We must diligently practice the Golden Rule. Let us hold fast to our heritage of the past and our redemp- tion can not be far away. May the New Year witness the rebirth of Israel and the fulfillment of our cherished dreams, 71 years old, the matriarch of a large family, was buried Sunday afternoon at Machpelah Cemetery, after impressive services, with Rabbis S. N. Cutler and E. Aishis- kin officiating. Born in Wilna, the deceased came to Detroit 18 years ago and for the last 10 years has made her home with Mrs. B, Kra- mer at 3025 West Grand avenue. She is survived by seven sons, Morris, Jacob, Meyer, Abraham, Isadore, Harry and David; five daughters, Mrs. II. Kramer, Mrs. A. Locher, Mrs. S. Helfman, Mrs. II. Cohen and Mrs. I. Rubin; grandchildren and three great- grandchildren. Her husband died 20 years ago. One of the sons, !lorry Davis, now of Mt. Clemens, is a World War veteran. Another son, Rev. Meyer Davis, has been shochet in Mt. Clemens for the last 24 years. WELCOMING THE YEAR 5691 By RABBI I. STOLLMAN Like sunshine after a cloudy, dreary day that dis- perses the shadows and clears up the skies, so the High Holy Days approach its with their sacred call for puri- fication of our souls and hearts that were in dispair and uneasiness (luring the elapsed year 5690. The past year added to our great grievances on account of the outrages in Palestine during the last months of 5689. Nothing has been accomplished (luring the passing year to ease our feelings and strengthen our spirits. The British reply as to the restoration of the Jewish National 'Ionic in Palestine was vague as ever. American Jewry, on the other hand, on whose support and constructive work the entire nation is depending. faced an economic crisis which discouraged further achievements. The situa- tion all around is problematic. The American Jew looks forward to the high Holy Days as the redeemer of our spiritual exile that will bring forth Jewry to new achievements and unity. The Yomim Neroyim offer us a great deal of help and stimulation if we would attend them conscientiously. They are the days of our pleading before the Almighty for health and prosperity during the coming year and they also serve as the days of the counting and total- ing of our deeds and actions, our merits and sins. But let us remember that we ought to pay atten- tion to our attitudes towards each other. For noble deeds of one person elicit the same from others; but evil doings committed by one person would be the cause of more evils done by another. We are respon- sible for each other. We should utilize the Yomim Neroyim for this Din V'cheshbon that would encour- age further efforts and aspirations to strengthen our desired unity. We are, as the Midrosh expresses, "Ocher I'mayse breyshith vakedem lepuroniuth." The man is the first to be stricken by crisis and the last to enjoy spiritual things. The last is the comment to the rest. Let us therefore hope that the spirit of "Yomim Neyroim" will accompany us during the future days to come, purify our souls and approach us to spiritual things. Let the blow of the shofar be heard ! Let its voice for unity and responsibility stimulate us during the coming year and encourage us to spiritual accomplish- ments! Let the year 5691 make us forget the strug- gles and uneasiness of the year 5690! Sale of Calendars: , The Temple Sisterhood an- nounces its annual sale of Jewish calendars.
