vi L
the most sacred of the jewish holidays
-Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atone
ment-will commence, lasting until
shutdown to morrow. The Jews, all
over the world, have always revered
this day by fasting from Friday at
shutdown until Saturday at shutdown.

The svnagOgueS are generally richly
decorated on thai occasion and the

left.

TO gamble they seem happy
and content.
