THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
TORAH PORTION
Build Anew Without
Discarding The Old
RABBI M. ROBERT SYME
Special to The Jewish News
e are currently
reading the fifth
book of the Torah,
the Book of Deuteronomy.
The word "Deuteronomy"
means repetition. It is so
named because the aged
leader Moses "repeats" the
story of his life. This is
typical of most of us, as we
grow older. We tend to repeat
past events. Anyone who is
fortunate enough to have.
elderly grandparents, is
aware of the fact that they
frequently narrate stories
that took place many years
ago. Why do they repeat the
past? For the obvious reason,
that their past is more
exciting than their present or
their future.
In this week's sidrah,
Moses reminds the Israelites
about an incident that took
place many years earlier.
After the Exodus from Egypt,
Moses climbed the mountain
to receive the two tablets of
the Covenant. When he came
down, after 40 days and 40
nights, bearing the tablets of
the Covenant, behold, the Is-
raelites had made a molten
calf and were worshiping it.
What did Moses do? In his
anger, he smashed the tab-
lets. Later, he ascended the
mountain, fashioned two new
tablets of stone, and brought
them down to the people. All
this, Moses remembers and
recounts in this week's sid-
rah.
Now, the ancient sages, in
commenting on this narrative
ask: "What happened to the
broken tablets? Were they
left lying there in the wilder-
ness?" They answer and say:
"Moses picked up the broken
fragments, and placed them
in the Ark, together with the
new tablets of the Law."
What a marvelous com-
mentary on human existence!
In virtually every person's
life, there comes a time of
illness, of bereavement. All
around us are the fragments
of broken dreams, of shat-
tered hopes. How do we re-
act? Some people withdraw
from life. Some people be-
come embittered. And then
there are those, who bravely
pick up the broken frag-
ments, place them in the ark
of their hearts, and courage-
ously continue with the tasks
of life.
This is the thrust of Rabbi
Harold Kushner's remarkable
book When Bad Things Hap-
pen to Good People. Many
people bought the book, as-
suming that it dealt with the
question: why do bad things
happen to good people?
Long ago, the author of the
Book of Job attempted to an-
M. Robert Syme is rabbi at
Temple Israel.
swer that question: "Why do
the good suffer, and why do
the wicked prosper?" To the
question why, there is no
satisfactory answer. But to
when bad
the question:
things happen," there are
many answers. Rabbi Kush-
ner provides us with wise
counsel. And in this week's
Torah portion, we find much
guidance by reading between
the lines.
It really comes down to
this: Every life is a mingling
of light and shadow. What do
Shabbat Ekev:
Deuteronomy
7:12-11:25;
Isaiah 49:14-51:3
you do when the shadow of
bereavement darkens the
landscape of your life? What
course do you follow when
you lose someone you love?
Do you say, "My life is over?"
Do you vow, "I'll never love
again?" You may, if you
wish. But remember what
Shakespeare said, that this
approach has "lighted fools
the way to dusty death."
There is another way, the
biblical way which says, hit-
na aree may ah far koo mee
— "shake thyself from the
dust and arise" and pledge
your allegiance to life! Kindle
the torch of faith, and believe
that the blossoms of love Will
bloom once again in your
heart. Do not discard the
broken fragments, those will
remain with you always. But
be sure to build new tablets,
as did Moses. Thus, you will
walk forward to that prom-
ised land, where love and se-
renity are awaiting you.

Drop Seen
In Terrorism
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Interna-
tional terrorist incidents de-
clined slightly from 412 in
1984 to 408 in 1985, accord-
ing to Inter 85, the latest re-
view of international ter-
rorism just published by the
Tel Aviv University Jaffee
Center for Strategic Studies.
However, the project's defi-
nition of international ter-
rorism is likely to cause some
controversy. The researchers
chose to exclude attacks car-
ried about by a dissident or
guerrilla group on its home
territory against any foreign
or outside force. The report
does not cover incidents
against Soviet troops in Af-
ghanistan, American troops
in Latin America or Israel
Defense Force units in south
Lebanon.
