New Moon's Role
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright 1971, JTA.
-Jewish tradition considers it im-
portant to note the phase of the
New Moon observing every New
Moon as a semi-holiday.
The Hebrew calendar is basically
a lunar calendar and the phase of
the New Moon marks the begin-
ning of the Hebrew month. Hebrew
tradition regarded the beginnings
of many things as Reals . to be re-
garded with special importance
and the beginning of the month
was, of course, no exception. In
some way, this deep reverence, for
beginnings indicated the loyalty of
the Jew to the Creator, who made
the world from its beginning and
who is the "master" of- time: Some
indicate that the New Moon is of
special significance to the Jew be-
cause the various festivals are
dated according to a special date
in the -respective . month. Also in-
teresting. is the opinion at'a -nuni-
ber of Jewish authorities, that the
moon pla.:ia- ti special role in re-
f:ecting the history of the Jewish
pecple.
The Phase of the New.: Moon
g:ves added hope to the suffering
Jew for this "New , Moon" ap-
pears after the moon - seems to
have almost been phased out alto-
gather during the last quarter. The
New Moon begins a new cycle
when. the moon begins to wax
larger and larger. Such is the des-
tiny of the Jewish people — they
almost seem destined for oblivion
after tragic 'events in its -history,
only to rise again.like the Phoenix
to develop a new civilization.-
