The call to penitence, prayer
and philantropic deeds (teshuvo,
tefilo u-tzedoko) during the
month of Ellul and through Yom
Kippur, is the spiritual equiva-
lent of a call to arms. It is our
annual peacetime conscription for

reconstruction abroad is not
enough. We must also submit
to such rigid discipline during
these days of spiritual training
as will prepare us to live the
total program of Judaism.
It is this everyday life in To-
rah with which we must be con-
cerned as we begin the first year
of a new century in Hebrew
chronology. In a religious and
moral sense, we have long ago
been conscripted for the "Armies
of the Eternal," ever since that
oath of allegiance on Sinai. The
routine of Jewish duty—mitzva
—is a highly perfected system
for the development of the ideal
personality. But Mesianic, trag-
edy-laden times demand even
more meticulous adherence to the
code of honor which qualifies us
for partnership with G-d in the
work of re-creation.
Providence has chosen us, heirs
to an historic tradition who have
been transplanted to this conti-
nent, to become the heralds of a
new society. It is given to this
generation of Jews to experience
—like Noah, Job and Daniel—
the cataclysmic destruction of
one world and the building of
another within the span of a
lifetime. Once more the chil-
dren of Israel become the har-
bingers of freedom and redemp-
tion as the mighty battle of Gog
and Magog nears its end. Al-
ways the victims of slavery and
despotism, we may not be in the
very thick of the physical* strug-
gle, but we certainly are no mere
onlookers as mankind comes to
grip with its fate.
In the last analysis, clashes on
land, sea, or in the air, will not
determine the future of civiliza-
tion. Jealousies which we still
call human, unsatisfied normal
and abnormal desires of the
flesh, and the limitless lust for
power and vain glory—ha-kin'o,
ha-ta'avo, veha-kovod—iwIl al-
ways draw us away from the
enjoyment of the accumulated
and abounding good of the world.
After England emerges victori-
ous from the present conflict,
another war would bring even
greater destruction. Only the re-
birth of man and the reshaping
of his environment in accordance
with the divine scheme, will make
this earth safe for humanity.
