"The offerings of the Lord are broken spirits."

Lord than will be offered on There was a time—not far back in the past—when "broken spirits, bruised and crushed heart," were only exceptions to the gen- eral happy mood and cheerful aspect of life. Alas! Since pre-war, war times, the essential part of our life is made up— war and post to quote the psalmist—of troubles, weariness, worry and sin.

It seems as if history would again be bent to justify the ancient claim of the Jew to be the "heart of mankind." Because Israel is the heart of mankind, said Judah and feels more intensely the pangs Ilalevy, Israel suffers more and afflictions of mankind. threatened by Hammanism, its foes have If Israel before was Horteism, Ilackenkreutzlerism, Higher multiplied into Ilitlerism, now Anti-Semitism and ever so many isms who all have joined forces for the destruction of the Jew, In the face of so many calamities and castastrophies, we cele- brate our New Year, we meet in our spiritual citadels; in our temples, we listen to the voice of the Shofar telling us of the visitations, trials, martyrdom of ages, and comforting us with the message, that Heaven, Divine Providence guides and guards for all that, God rules in the destiny of mankind, that at the bottom of the universe there rules yet love and justice.
