for their "Cradle Songs in
Yiddish," the anthology ap-
pearing also under the title
"Unter Yankele's Vigele."
Published in Israel, this
collection contains more
than 200 lullabies and a
vast variety of songs ad-
dressed to children.
Bracha Kopstein, who
has lectured in Detroit
and in many American
cities, announces that a
new printing of "Cradle
Songs in Yiddish" was
necessitated by the in-
creased demand for the
book. Miss Kopstein is
distributing the book
from her home, 53
LaGuardia St., Tel Aviv.

Anti-Semitic -
Incidents in UK

LONDON (JTA) — More
than 10 Jewish tombstones
at Golders Green Cemetery
in northwest London have
been daubed with Nazi slo-
gans and the initials "BM"
believed to stand for the
"British Movement," an
overtly anti-Semitic group.
The daubings follow simi-
lar incidents in Manchester
and Leeds, which both have
sizeable- Jewish com-
munities. Most occurred
since the screening of the
television series
"Holocaust."
Dr. Jacob Gewirtz, de-
fense secretary of the Board
of Deputies of British Jews,
said that the British Move-
ment had recently pub-
lished a new edition of the
anti-Jewish tract "The Pro-
tocols of the Elders of Zion."
In Manchester, windows
have been broken at the
premises of two local Jewish
newspapers and there have
been anti-Jewish daubings
at a synagogue and railway
station. In Leeds, a cemet-
ery has been desecrated and
the reporter of a Jewish
newspaper was struck with
an iron bar.

By the Grace of G-d
Fourth Day of the Week of
"Arise, shine forth"
18th of Elul, 5738
Brooklyn, N.Y.

To the Sons and Daughters of
Our People Israel, Everywhere-
G-d bless you all!

Greeting and Blessing:
Mention was made at the beginning of
this year that it has a special significance
in that it is a Leap-Year, and also the
conclusion of a (19 years) Cycle (Machzor
Kattan).
The purpose of a Leap-Year — in the
ordinary sense — is that it makes up the
"lag" in time of lunar years vis-a-vis the
solar years, to ensure that our festivals
should occur in their proper seasons of the
year (Pesach in the spring, etc.)
In a deeper sense, our Lunar Calendar
("Jews reckon the time according to the
moon") is symbolic, and a periodic remin-
der, of the fact that every Jew has teh G-d
given capacity to make up for the days
that — for one reason or another — have
not been fully utilized in matters of Yid-
dishkeit, Torah and mitzvos. Moreover,
even if certain aspects of one's conduct,
involving thought, speech or action, were
not as they shoud have been — a Jew has
the ability with the proper resolve and
determination, to rectify completely all
failures and deficiencies of the past "with
one 'turn' and in one moment."
Herein can be seen the unique quality
and special preeminence of Teshuvah,
(Repentance), in addition to all it has in
common with other matters of Torah and
Mitzvos, the vast majority of which re-
quire and take a certain duration in time.
For instance: The first Mitzvah that a
Jew has to fulfill upon becoming duty-
bound to fulfill all the Mitzvos is the
Mitzvah of Kabbolas 01 Malchus
Shomayim (Submission to the supreme
rule of G-d), which is the prerequisite and
basis of Kabbolas 01 of all the Mitzvos;
and this Mitzvah is fulfilled through the
recital of Shema, which requires a clear
and deliberate enunication of the words,
with proper concentration, etc., necessar-
ily involving a period of time.
But as regards Teshuvah, its unique
aspect, as aforesaid, is that it is accom-
plished "in one moment".
Because Teshuvah transcends the ele-
ment of time and the physical world, and
in one moment it transforms the whole
past and sets the proper stage for the
whole future.

UNITED NATIONS
The month of Elul is, of course, the
(JTA) — Israeli Ambas- month of Teshuva, set aside for the Jew's
sador Yehuda Blum met "return" to his roots and essence through
last week with Mexico's rectifying and completing all matters
Foreign Minister Dr. San- wherein he failed in the foregoing days of
tiago Roel Garcia and dis- the years. And within the month of Elul
cussed matters of mutual itself, its last days, beginning from the

interest to the two coun-
tries, including close ties
and bonds of friendship and
the development of bilateral
relations.

18th of Elul, correspond to the months of
the year, a day for a month.
Therefore, if every year this is the time
to make up for all deficiencies — through
Teshuvah — how much more so in the
month of Elul of a Leap-Year, and one
that completes the period of the Cycle.
It is also undersatndable that if all
matters of Torah and Mitzvos have to be
done with true joy, in keeping with the
principle, "Serve G-d with joy", surely the
Mitzvah of Teshuvah should be fulfilled
with profound joy, considering the special
preeminence of Teshuvah over all other
Mitzvos, as mentioned above.
And surely there is no contradiction
involved here, even though .Teshuvah is
associated with earnest introspection and
profound regret, etc. For, with all that, it
is surely cause for the greatest possible
rejoicing that the -Al-mighty has given
every Jew the capability and strength to
do Teshuvah — and "in one moment",
together with the assurance that when a
Jew resolves to avail himself of this
opportunity, his Teshuvah will be ac-
cepted.
Thus, when a Jew undertakes to do
Teshuvah and does it with joy, and since
"joy breaks through barriers" — it takes
him out of all constraints, including the
constraints of his former conduct; also the
kind of conduct which, though good at the
time, could oftentimes have been even
better. In all these cases there is the as-
surance that "Nothing stands in the way
of Teshuvah", increasing still further the
joy in doing it.
* * *
And then — since G-d "reciprocates in
kind," but in a most generous measure —
also G-d's blessing pours down without
limit, "to overflowing", including the
blessing that all good resolutions made
during these days of the month of Elul
will be fulfilled in the fullest and most
complete measure.
Increasing still further the blessing of
Kesivo vaChasimo Toiva for the new year
that is coming unto us and all Israel for
good and blessing.
Including- the essential blessing that
"G-d does wonders' — therein also the
wonder of the assurance "the Torah
promises that the Jewish people are cer-
tain to do Teshuvah toward the -end of
their Golus, whereupon they shall im-
mediately ("in one moment") be re-
deemed."
With esteem and blessing of
Kesivo vaChasimo Toivo
for a good and sweet year
materially and spiritually,

SIRabbi Menachem
