Rosh Hashanah, Day of Humility and Hope

VERA HUTCHIN
Formerly of Friendly Beauty Salem

By Dr. Maeanna Cheserton-Mangle

"And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, in the
seventh month, in the first day
of the month, shall ye have a
sabbath, a memorial of blowing
of trumpets, and holy convoca-
tion." (Lev. XXIII: 23-25).

With these words the observ-
ance of Rosh Hashanah, the
Jewish New Year, was ordained.
Unlike most J e w i s h holidays,
which commemorate some his-
torical or seasonal event, Rosh
Hashanah has a universal sig-
nificance. It celebrates the an-
niversary of the Creation, which

Lord opens three books on Rosh
according to the Jewish calen- Hashanah, one listing the
names of the completely right-
dar, occurred 5,713 years ago.
Down through the ages, Rosh
Hashanah has been observed as
a Day of Judgment — a time
when God, seated on the throne
of mercy, hears men recount
their deeds, and avow their
sins. It is the moment when
the Lord examines the roster of
all individuals and inscribes
their fate for the coming year.
Rosh Hashanah marks the be-
ginning of the "High Holy
Days," a 10-day period of re-
pentence, ending with Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
According to the Talmud, the

eous, one listing the wicked, and
the third containing the names
of the average men and women.
The righteous are immediately
granted life, the wicked con-
demned to death. The fate of
the others hangs in balance un-
til Yom Kippur, when, if they
merit forgiveness, they are "in.-
scribed" for a bounteous year.
From this belief stems the tra-
ditional greeting among Jews on
Rosh Hashanah: "Leshanah
Tobah Tikateb V'tehatem." "May
you be inscribed and sealed for
a good year."
Although a day of great
solemnity, Rosh Hashanah is
not a mournful Holiday. It is a
time for introspection and affir-
mation. The ceremonies and
prayers connected with the ob-
servance are of a nature that
spur the individual to self-
scrutiny, "What am I doing with
this life of mine?"

As Nehemiah said to the ex-
iles "Go your way, eat the fat,
and drink the sweet, and send
portions unto him for whom,
nothing is prepared: for this
day is holy unto our Lord: neith-
er be ye grieved; for the joy of
the Lord is your strength." (Nell.
VIII: 10-11).

Ceremonies in the home also
stress the outlook for the New
Year. On the eve of the holiday,
the Kiddush (sanctification pray-
er) is recited, and the • festive
lights are kindled. As a symbol
of the hope which character-
izes the observance of Rosh
Hashanah, a piece of sweet
apple is dipped in honey, to the
accompaniment of the words:
"May it be God's will to grant
us a good and sweet year."
The lesson of Rosh Hashanah
is one of humility and hope. Al-
though God is merciful and
recognizes that it is human to
err, He expects His children to
be penitent and return to Him
after they have gone astray.
The spirit of self-examination
and re-dedication to the way of
God, which characterizes the
age-old observance of Rosh
Hashanah, finds expression in
our observance of the civil New
Year, while Christians similarly
reflect on their actions of the
past 12 months and resolve to
live a better life in the year
ahead.
