A Special Message for Jews Everywhere

The following is a Rosh Hashana (not too late) message from the Quintessential Eclectic Michael Savage to the Jewish People [and can be found on his website Home of the Savage Nation

Rosh Hashanah (1996)

Thousands of years ago a little-known man in a middle-eastern desert tried to lead his people from idolatry and hatred.

Today the descendants of these original Tribes of Israel are known as Jews.

What, we ask, is a Jew?

Is it a religion, a race, a mind-set? It is, to me, a constant relationship with G-d, the eternal Creator. A constant dialogue within ourselves asking, pleasing, demanding - to know why the good will sometimes suffer horrendous fates or why the evil appear to enjoy the riches of their plunder.

It is this ability to ask without hearing an answer but to keep asking eternal questions without losing faith in goodness;

It is this desire to want to hear the very coice of G-d without hearing it;

It is coming to know that the questions themselves are G-d’s way which makes the Jewish spirit an eternal manifestation of that transcendental experience in the desert thousands of years ago - which gives each Jewish person a special destiny and a special burden.

To waste this spark of the fire of original knowledge is to throw away not only your own destiny and inheritance but a portion of the destiny and inheritance of the People chosen by G-d to be his bearers of the Light.

Being human and not G-d, we all ‘sin’ by ‘missing the mark’ and that is my message to my friends gathered here for this Rosh Hashana - ‘Head of the Year’. In Hebrew the word sin does not exist. It translates closely to ‘miss the mark.’ for G-d is forgiving or not one of us standing here today would survive a day.

The message is to try to hit the mark again and again. That is the Zen of maintaining our [the] Jewish inheritance.

Seek truth, seek justice.

Rosh Hashana - the head of the year marks the beginning of the ’10 days of awe.’ A period during which we [Jewish People] are judged by G-d who decides whether we [they] will be inscribed in the Book of Life for the coming year. It is an intense time for Jewish People, a time of trial and forgiveness. It concludes with Yom Kippur, a day of repentance.

I want each and every guest in our ten to remember to:

Be Happy

G-d Made You

G-d Loves You

Shalom!
