Pause for Though

Pause for Though

From Julia Neuberger, Senior Rabbi at the West London Synagogue:

听

Tomorrow night is the beginning of the holiest day of the year for us Jews, Yom Kippur, the great fast- 25 hours of it- when virtually everyone comes to synagogue at some point. The atmosphere gets oppressive as the day goes on, and people get hotter, and more irritable, yet they still devote their thoughts to what they have done wrong over the past year, and, more importantly, what they didn鈥檛 do that they should have.听 鈥淭here can hardly be a Jew with a soul so dulled that this day has lost its appeal for him鈥�, wrote Rabbi Dr Louis Jacobs, the greatest Jewish scholar Britain has produced. Nobody is so good, so pious, so utterly perfect that they don鈥檛 need to throw themselves on God's mercy. Nobody is so depraved that they鈥檙e incapable of asking for mercy. And no human being is so ignorant, so without the basic skills of prayer, that their voice cannot be heard.

听

There鈥檚 a great story attributed to the Baal Shem Tov, a famous 18th century eastern European rabbi. One Yom Kippur a poor Jewish boy, an illiterate shepherd, came into the synagogue where the rabbi was praying. The boy was deeply moved by the service, but utterly frustrated that he could not read the prayers, not in Hebrew, not in Polish, not in any language. So he started to whistle, the one thing he knew he could do beautifully; he wanted to offer his whistling as a gift to God. The congregation was horrified. You can imagine- 鈥淪hut up鈥�, they said, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e disturbing us. Go back to your flock. You don鈥檛 belong here, you know nothing鈥�..鈥� But the rabbi stopped them. "Until now," he said, "I could feel our prayers being blocked as they tried to reach the heavenly court. This young shepherd's whistling was so pure, however, that it broke through the blockage and brought all of our prayers straight up to God."

听

The simplest of communications, the purest of messages鈥�.. the rabbi was telling us that everyone鈥檚 prayers, everyone鈥檚 pleas, can be heard, no matter who they are. And that must be right, for Yom Kippur, or any other day.
