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.

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.
