Rabbis teach change is possible

revitalize skin, light cheeks matt lips soft, colorful

By RABBI SAM KRASNER "And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy convocation: You shall do no manner of creative work; it is a day of blowing the Shofar to you. And you shall make for yourself a burnt offering for a sweet fragrance to the L-ord." We are taught. in the Midrash: "Rabbi Tachlifa Kisra said: In connection with all other Festival offerings, the Torah writes, 'And you shall offer' while in connection with Rosh hashanah it is written, 'And you shall make a burnt offering'. How is this to be explained? Almighty G-d declares to Israel, 'My children, 1 will consider it as though you have this day been made before Me, as though this day I have created you as a new being.'" What does Rabbi Tachlifa teach us? He teaches us that this solemn and holy day has the ability to reshape us, to change our perspectives and outlook on life, to reorder our priorities, to render us a Bria Chadasha, a new creation; a changed and different human being. Often we look back on our past records, our failings and our errors and we declare:

"it is futile-1 cannot change." Yet one day, one incident, one moment can change us. Hashem declares to us on this day 'You can change." I will make you a Bria Chadasha, a new entity, a changed human being. Rabbi Tachlifa teaches us that Hashem has invested this day, this awesome Day of Judgment with the sanctity and capacity to purify our hearts and elevate our souls, to reorder and remake the course of our lives and set us on a path which will lead to a productive, creative, useful, and exernplary life before C-d. Let us search our souls and examine our hearts, and let us makca determination-a determination to change and improve. Let us resolve to remake and reorder our lives. Rivka and I wish all of you a Kati va V'chatima Tova. May you and all of your loved ones, be inscribed and sealed for a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.

Moonie-battling rabbi will speak on cult tactics

Rabbi Maurice Davis, the leading national spiritual leader in the fight against the depredations of the cults, principally the Moonies, on Jewish young people, will speak on the subject, "Beware of the Cults," in his lecture inaugurating the first annual Jewish Forum of the Indiana Jewish Post and Opinion. The talk, which is open to all subscribers of The P-O, will be held at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25 at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, which Rabbi Davis previously served. His talk will be the first of four in the Forum series. Mary Hofmann, Post and Opinion columnist who is a convert to Judaism, will speak on Nov. 8, as will, on Nov. 29, Rabbi Sherwin Wine, of Birmingham Hills, Mich., the founder of Jewish Humanism, which now has some 20 congregations nationwide. The fourth sched-

uled address will be by Rabbi Stanley Wagner, of Denver, who was the father of the conversion program in which Reform, Conservative and Orthodox rabbis participated, with the converts recognized by all wings of Judaism. He also founded the Museum, which presently is in the process of erecting a $2 million home. A fifth speaker will probably be Abraham Foxman, new national director of the Anti-Defamation League, sometime in the spring. All P-O subscribers (husband and wife) are eligible to attend. Others may enter a $6 subscription (13 weeks) for any one of the talks or a $12 subscription (26) for all of the talks. The committee arranging the series includes Mike Blain, Ernie Heppner, Art Mirkin and Percy Simmons.
