TANENBAUM • "This is the day of the crea- tion of the world. This is the day on which all the creatures of the earth stand under judgment." These phrases are from the Machzor, the Hebrew prayer book that is used on Rosh Hashanah. The High Holy Days, cli- maxed by Yom Kippur, are sol- emn days that express the uni- versal human need for self- purification, for taking inven- tory of one's self, probing the meaning , and purpose of one's individual and group existence, and then seeking through fast- ing and repentance to change for the better. It .was not too long ago that many skeptical, sophisticated 20th Century people looked upon such religious ideas and practices with elegant disdain and smug superiority. But self- indulgent, narissistic human be- ings eventually had to face the inescapable and frigthening re- cord of an age of violence, injus- tice and corruptionthat dis- pensed with the biblical moral disciplines and legal norms and gave birth to Hiroshima, Dachau and Auschwitz, Af- ghanistan, Lebanon, Poland, Ire- land, the PLO, Sakharov, Soviet Jewry and South Africa. - It's a big wheel with all lovers of •fine cheese.

Jarlsberg. Every good store carries it t 4 tOC !'4 4;0 There are very few preten- SiOnS left about the vaunted, in- nate moral superiorities of mod- ern man, his belief in the in- evitability of progress toward Utopia, nor in messianic science and technology as absolute un- mixed blessings of secular salva- tion. Man ultimately is a paradox, as Jewish tradition has always , affirmed. He is both glorious creator and destructive creature; and his creatureliness is compounded , of the sinful idolatries, the false gods of power, egotism, greed .and pride. Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish holy day , period of peni- tence are in effect moral sen- sitivity systems, human poten- tial movements which evolved over 3,000 years of Jewish agonizing and hard testing about how to transform this creature into a humane, com- passionate personality' modeled in the Divine image. It is also a source of insight and spiritual power to help achieve an ethical community, a kingdom of priests and a hay -natton, committed to help redeem and heal a broken and suffering world through deeds of decency, mutual re- spect, justice, kindness and civilized values.
