The Jewish new year formerly began in
the month Of Nissan, but some four hundred
years sg) the sanhedrim or council of Rab-
Bis hald al Jerusalem, and in whose hands
reeted all matters of eccesiastin polity,
deemed il eYpsdient to change the day to the
day of blowing of trumpets NJ then was the
end of the harvest, and because the results of
the year can be reckoned and calculated.
Ii is u CAV that serves to remind US
each person of their past acts and wrongs
done and day in which to resdjust sl
differences between man and man The
more orthodox of the Irielites claim that
the day calls to mind the sacrifice of Abra-
hhuii nhNinS ouuIcu up u Thu lOr nis SOD,
hence the horn WAS taken rs a symbol, but
the reformed spirit of Judaism performs the
ceremony "a an awakening Of Israeli
ties toward mankind ia general in
the true moralai Of their religion, as
well as awakening the good deeds and
the practice just and noble principles.
There are three ways taught in Judaism
by which to repent: finding birth in an honest
heart; second-with feelings of sorrow for
sins committed; third-by good deeds in the
future. And as g trumpet 10 always blown
at the coronation of king, so we should
always proclaim by the sound of the shofar
that the Heavenly Father, the Creator OF
heaven and earth, was, is, and forever
will be our king. With these feelings and
sentiments will the day also be observed
from sunset to sunset at the temple Emanu-
el which is spiritually presided over by
Rev. Henry Schulz the rabbi of the con-
gregation with appropriate ceremonies.
Rev. Henry Schulz is a gifted speaker
and those OF our GENTLE friends who wish
to hear a good sermon should not fail TO
attend.
