Why is it traditional among
some Jews to cry, during the
High Holy Day services?
they may relax.their attention and
proceed with the service in the
synagogue. Some writers (Rabbi
Jacob Molin) claim that this prac-
tice may be traced from the pas-
sage in the Bible where it is said
that "When the ram's horn sounds
long, they may come up to the
mountain." (Exodus 19:13). The
thought expressed here was that
the long blast of the shofar was a
signal to the people of Israel that
the historic revelation was ended
and that now the mountain which
they were forbidden to touch or to
come near was now like any moun- I

proper name for the festival. In
the Bible it is known as "the day

of blthving (the shofar)" and the
day of the "remembering blowing."
Actually, the name "Day of Re-
membrance" is not perhaps the
original way of translating the

term "Yom Hazikaron." A better
translation has been suggested
which would indicate that the term
"zikaron" would be more fittingly
translated as "awareness." This

would stress the contention that on

Rosh Hashana the Almghty is es-

pecially aware of the condition of
every human being, his shortcom-
ings and his needs. Thus, the term
"Zikaron Terua" which is com-

moralists have stated, we create,

who is thus reminded of the prox-

Almighty. Thus, the term "Yom 1

lated as "a day of awareness."
This, then, becomes a most appro-

since it retained its sacred charac-
ter only as long as the revelation
was taking place, indicative of
God's presence on the mountain.
Likewise, a long shofar note on
Rosh Hashana, similar to the long
shofar note at the end of Yom
Kippur, symbolizes that the climax
was over—either the climax of the
Great Day of Atonement on Yom
Kippur or the crucial moment of
the blowing of the shofar which
summoned the presence of God to
be close to His People, on Rosh
Hashana.

One reason given is that the
High Holy Days represent an occa-
sion when we are most anxious for
t he Almighty to hear our supplica-
tions. The rabbis claim that, while
the "Gates of Prayer" may be
, c losed, the "Gates of Tears" are
always open to allow the weeping
, o f the Jewish soul to reach the Al-
mighty. Some authorities based
this on the passage of the Psalms
which says, "For the Lord hath
heard the voice of my crying"
,Of
Ot
(Psalms 6:9). The commentaries
on the Jewish codes trace this par-
