Celebration -ntimiied from Pag,! 9
The interim period between
the two holidays is “the special
time for people to repair their
relationships with fellow
human beings, because on Yom
Kippur we ask forgiveness from
God, and we can only do that if
we’ve repaired our relation
ships with other human be
ings,” says Kinberg.
“Only on Yom Kippur are we
sealed and confirmed for a
blessing of the coming year,”
he adds.
To reunite with God, “the big
mitzvah of Rosh Hashanah is
the shofar.” Translated, a mitz
vah is the act of being in proper
relationship with life, Kinberg
says. When the shofar (an
animal horn) is sounded at the
holiday services, the Jews have
called for God’s forgiveness of
their imperfections of the past
year.
The first shofar service takes
place on Rosh Hashanah day, as
the ten day evaluation begins.
And to cleanse out the tran
sgressions of the past and in
itiate a new beginning, fasting
is the tradition on Yom Kippur,
which closes the holiday
season.
Old-growth
forests are
poet’s topic
Poet, and environmentalist.
Gary Snyder, was in his own
element Saturday afternoon, as
he read his poetry in a grove of
old-growth timber in the
Willamette National Forest.
About 100 people braved the
cold drizzle for several hours to
hear Snyder at the Cathedral
Forest Rendevous. But Univer
sity students can still hear the
Pulitzer Prize recipient in the
warmth and comfort of Geology
150 tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Snyder is the author of more
than a dozen books of poetry,
including "Turtle Island." He
also serves on the advisory
board of Friends of the Earth.
A native of Northern Califor
nia. Snyder is in Oregon to
speak out for the preservation of
the state's old growth forest
from exploitation by "temporal
imperialists."
"An old-growth forest is not a
virgin forest,” Snyder says.
“An old-growth forest is a
climax forest — rich, matured
and seasoned."
Condemning what he calls a
"carpetbagger mentality"
toward the environment,
Snyder reminded his listeners
that “we have to live here as if
we’re here to stay.”
Snyder will be joined by
Swedish poet Reider Ekner. The
fund-raising event is sponsored
by the Survival Center. Admis
sion is $3.50 or $2.50 for
students with University
identification.
From sundown on Yom Kip
pur eve to sundown the follow
ing day, not even gum,
toothpaste or water are to be
digested, “because you want
not to feel with food, but with
the eternal,” Kinberg says.
The congregation is reminded
of the holiness of the day, rising
for a 20-minute singing of the
special Yom Kippur prayer.
The long day of services
comes to an end with the same
prayer that is said when so
meone is dying, he says.
“The final prayer is the most
important words in Judaism —
that God is one. And then the
shofar is sounded as our last
chance to be joined with the
spirit of the eternal before the
sun goes down,” Kinberg says.
“Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur help us to set the mood
for a way (of life) that can help
us heal ourselves and the rest of
the world if we were to follow
the example of the mood of the
holidays (throughout the
year),” Kinberg says.
About 700 people are ex
pected to attend the 7 p.m.
Jewish holiday services, which
is about 10 times more than
Kinberg says he sees at the
weekly worship services. Since
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kip
pur fall after the start of the
term, Kinberg, who will con
duct the services, predicts at
least 100 Jewish students will
show.
