the pitch victory this year
when Israel's High Court
ordered the Ministry of the
Interior to stop blocking con-
struction of the National Soc-
cer Stadium in Jerusalem's
Manahat neighborhood.
After a decade of wrangling
in which ultra-Orthodox in-
terests attempted to block
what they saw at the
"Hellenization" of the Holy
City, construction of the
stadium finally got underway.
Work ceased almost im-
mediately, however, through
lack of funds.
All in all, then, the sporting
year has been anexciting and
hectic one, with many
achievements and some
disappointments, but not
enough to discourage serious
sport enthusaists. ❑

S

in is not sinful because
God forbade it, but
God forbade it because
it is sinful," wrote Joseph
Sa'adya, Gaon of Sura,
Babylon in his Emmunot Ve
Deot in 933 C.E. Yet human
beings are fallible creatures
and Jews, like everyone else,
fall prey to sin. We are told
that a contrite heart and true
confession of sin during the
days before Yom Kippur may
bring about a merciful judg-
ment. "The gates of prayer
are sometimes open and
sometimes closed," it is writ-
ten, "but the gates of repen-
tance are ever open."
Our faith gives us many op-
portunities to rid ourselves of
sin, and one very dramatic
ritual carried out on the after-
noon of the first day of Rosh
Hashanah, is known as
"Tashlich" or "casting." It is
customary to walk to a river
or spring, preferably one with
fish in it, and recite special
penitential prayers, the
essence of which is: "You will
cast all their sins into the
depths of the sea, and may
You cast all the sins of Your
people, the house of Israel,
into a place where they shall
be no more remembered or
visited or very come to mind."
(Mic. 7:19)
After reciting the prayers,
the custom is to empty your
pockets, pull them out and
shake them three times,
casting crumbs into the water
as symbolic of casting off sins
and starting the New Year
fresh. Tashlich can be per-
formed even on the second
