This Month Marks the Period When
Moses Was ON Mount Sinai.
The month of "Elul. of the Hebrew
calender, begins tomorrow. This
month always concludes the civil
year and Il is devoted by those
who worship according to the Spanish
and Portuguese ritual, to propitiatory SER
vices and supplications. This is because
it regularly precedes the holy days, the
New Year and the day Of atonement.
The month of 'Elul, according TO
sacred tradition, marks the period when
Moses remained for forty days and forty
nights In communion with God, TO inn
pore his mercy and forgiveness Of the
lsraeites for the awful sin of the molten
calf. The German Jews do not read pro-
pitiatory services until few days before
the New Year.
