WHY DO WE NEED A JEWISH NEW YEAR
-Rav Michael Laitman
Question: The Jewish New Year has come, the 5783rd Rosh HaShanah. At the time when it all started, there were no Jews. But it is called “Jewish” and Jews celebrate it.
The global question now is whether this the Jewish New Year or is it the World New Year? What would you call it?
Answer: All those who take upon themselves the system of correction, meaning are included in this chronology, which is called Hebrew from the word “Ivri” – to cross the border between our egoistic world and the upper, altruistic one. So, those who want to cross this border, even if they have not yet moved from egoism to altruism, immediately the count goes to 5,783.
And then they call themselves “Ivri,” “Jew” from the word “Yihud” – “union,” because the transition takes place in connection. In this way they celebrate this date, the date of the descent into their hearts and minds of understanding of how we can move from our world, the egoistic state, to the upper world, the altruistic state.
Comment: Jews in Israel and around the world celebrate the New Year, this is the Jewish New Year. And you say, it is really those who cross or want to cross this border who celebrate it.
My Response: What is the news for everyone celebrating today that this is considered the new year? I understand that there can be many dates. But, in general, the main thing is not the date, but the meaning, the essence. And the point is that a person should change from an egoist to an altruist.
If a person wants to change, if he goes to this change, then the new year period comes for him.
Question: And all the attributes of the new year—apple, honey, sweetening life by dipping an apple in honey—does this have some deep spiritual meaning?
Answer: The spiritual meaning lies only in the human spirit. There are no spiritual roots in apples and honey, just like there isn’t in the head of a fish.
Comment: And they say that you need to start from the head, not from the tail.
My Response: Because this is the new year , the head of the year. That’s why it starts like this. But in principle, if you take not a fish, but a bull’s head? It could be even better. 🙂 The year will be even more successful. 🙂
Question: What is the spiritual meaning of the phrase “start from the head”?
Answer: You need to start from the head. Meaning, for what you want to live for this year, what it should give you, what you should rise up to, what you should demand from yourself, it’s all in the head.
Question: And what to rise to? What to demand from yourself?
Answer: Only getting closer to the Creator. Nothing more is needed. This is the only solid setting for us. And that is why we are called “Israel” – “Yashar Kel,” “straight to the Creator.”
Question: So, in principle, the new year is a constant thought and movement exclusively to the Creator?
Answer: It is not just constant thoughts and movements only in the new year. You’re the one making the groundwork for the whole of next year.
Question: So you do this kind of backing for the whole year? And if you put everything well and correctly, will the year roll? Will it go well?
Answer: No! It doesn’t mean anything yet. It would have been nice to pay off in the new year for the whole year! 🙂
Question: So it won’t work like this? Do you need to work constantly?
Answer: Yes, it won’t slip through.
Question: Then it turns out that every day can be a new year because every day you renew thoughts about the Creator and about the connection?
Answer: This is also true. So, this date is purely symbolic. There is nothing in this state of the Earth around the Sun and us on Earth, in general, there is nothing.
Question: What are your wishes to all people this New Year? You see how things are developing in the world. What a year we’ve had!
Answer: And it is still unknown what the new one will be like. We are facing really scary questions.
I think we should just wish humanity to be wiser. To understand what force really guides us, why such negative forces and threats arise in our world, and how we can even use them to turn ourselves in the right direction, to the right goal, to achieve unity, and in this unity discover the eternal great meaning.
