Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

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

聽Last week was the end of all the Jewish festivals. It always feels a bit like a rabbinic marathon,聽 from New Year to the Day of Atonement to Sukkot- the harvest festival- and then finish with a big bang, the festival of Simchat Torah, the rejoicing of the law, a sort of birthday party for the Torah, the five books of Moses. We read the very last bit of Deuteronomy and then start all over again with Genesis.

聽The symbolism of finishing Deuteronomy, with Moses鈥� death, and starting Genesis with the creation story, shows us that there is no real beginning or end, but that the Torah cycle of readings is circular, a bit like life itself. It鈥檚 no coincidence we鈥檙e in autumn now, with gales and storms, even if we have unseasonably warm weather.

聽The leaves are brown and falling, the days are shorter鈥� we go into a kind of hibernation, packing up the garden, covering garden furniture, but at the same time we鈥檙e getting the bulbs ready for spring and mulching the soil to freshen it for the new shoots of February and March. It鈥檚 circular. We human beings die, but our memory lives on in our children and grandchildren, or our friends, or in our actions during this life, in memories of lives well lived.

聽So as we dance to celebrate the Torah鈥檚 birthday, we鈥檙e also recognising the seasons, the coming of winter, the hope for spring, the fact that maybe not all of us will be alive next year, but our memories will live on. This festival of great joy reminds us that life is cyclical, and how, as the seasons change, so do we human beings, as we age. And unlike all the Botox in the world, all the anti-ageing treatments, this festival celebrates children and older people, and accepts we grow old.聽

We celebrate new beginnings and mark endings all at the same time. Maybe that鈥檚 a better approach than denying ageing, and trying to hold it back. Maybe celebrating beginnings and endings together is what human beings are meant to do, for, after all, that鈥檚 the nature of human existence.
