Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men pray ahead of the Jewish New Year at the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can
pray in Jerusalem's old city, Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2013. Israelis happily welcomed the Jewish New Year late Wednesday
despite uncertainty and turmoil brewing on both its northern and southern borders.
Israel celebrates Rosh
Hashana am--id confli*ct
The Jewish New
Year was celebrated
despite turmoil
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israelis
happily welcomed the Jewish
New Year on Wednesday despite
uncertainty and turmoil brew-
ing on both its northern and
southernborders.
Rosh Hashana, whichbegins
at sundown, ushers in 10 days
of Jewish soul-searching -
known as the "Days of Awe"
- capped by Yom Kippur, the
Day of Atonement. The two-
day holiday commemorates the
creation of the world - which
this year reached the age of
5774, according to the Jewish
calendar.
But all around Israel, the
region is in upheaval. Egypt has
experienced weeks of unrest
since the military overthrew
its Islamist president in July,
and al-Qaida-linked fighters are
roaming the lawless Sinai Pen-
insula on Israel's doorstep. In
Syria, a bloody civil war that has
killed more than 100,000 rages
on as the U.S. weighs a military
strike in reaction to the regime's
alleged use of chemical weapons.
Israel fears violence could
spill into its territory. Syria's
Lebanese ally, Hezbollah, pos-
sesses thousands of rockets
and missiles that could be used
against Israel if a U.S. strike
sparks a wider conflagration.
The Jewish state has been
careful not to take sides in the
conflict but is believed to have
carried out three airstrikes
inside Syria, targeting weapons
reportedly headed to Hezbollah.
"The world around us has
turned upside down," colum-
nist Eitan Haber wrote in the
Yediot Ahronot daily. "The
picture is still not clear, but in
any case it is not an easy one
for ... Israel, which is trying to
live a normal life in destruc-
tive and turbulent surround-
ings."
His colleague, Sever Plock-
er, said the year could prove
to be one of the most fateful in
Israeli history.
"Israel and its government
will be called upon to cope -
first on a conceptual level and
then in diplomatic and mili-
tary terms - with a different
Syria, a different Egypt, a dif-
ferent Iran, and different Pal-
estinians," he wrote. "The year
5774 is expected to be a year
that can be called challenging,
or more simply put: difficult."
A small glimmer of hope
exists in the newly restarted
peace talks with Palestinians.
Though both sides remain
skeptical a final peace accord
can be reached, the talks offer
a boost after more than five
years of stalemate in peace-
making efforts.
