W e are beginning a new year w h ich we m ust be careful h o w w e greet and mould each moment o f it. Shall w e sin b y letting the tin y seconds- the small m inutes, the in sig n ifi?cant hours pass b y in spiritual idleness, as so m any time ghosts chasing each other? O r shall w e utilize each blessed moment as good Jew s? This is the challenge that the new ye ar w ill thrust at us as w e assem ble in the house of G od, pleading fo r life , sustenance and happi?ness. In tender and y e t, penetrating tones, year 5715 speaks to us. " I have been sent to you b y m y C reator, bearing in m y arm s gifts o f potential goodness and d iv in ity, 365 golden days in w h ich to mould me and yourselves. W hat sort o f a w o rker w ill you be, sluggish and crude, o r agile and esthetic? W ill you build to the praise of people, or to their chagrin? W ill you be spoken of fo r blessing, or m ayhap fo r curse? W ill you practice the Golden Rule o r the Selfish Rule? These are the questions w h ich , I 5715 pose before you. Household o f Israel, in d ividually and collective?ly . A nd w h en the last rays o f my setting sun shall have bathed the earth in last embrace, shall come yo ur answ ers. G od grant that I leave to you life and health and the jo y of spiritual fu lfillm e n t." Both old and yo ung , the faith fu l Je w s and the errant ones, are gripped b y the sanctity of the occasion and the ineffable holiness of the hour, and are using this h o ly season for stir?ring confessions and pious resolves. The J e w communes w ith G od, He w ill speak to Him surcharged w ith the logic of emotion and the com pelling force o f a vibrant histori?cal background. M ay Benevolence, Brotherly Love and Har?m ony be ours in greater m easure during this coming year and m ay w e renew our loyalties to all that B'nai B'rith represents. A ll good w ishes for a healthful and Happy N ew Year and a ye ar of greater achievem ent. Rabbi Arthur B. Lebowitz FO RG IVE U S, W E LIKED THIS M ESSAG E SO W ELL, WE HAD TO REPRINT IT. Editor.
