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. 0 0 Seniors & Gra Make a Difference & I Apply by S Spring/Summer 2( eacecor s I Students... aunch your Career. pt.30 for 14 assignments. aov/ aD Iv i 91 Campus Office: 734.647.2182 r peace.corps@umich.edu It
