JEWISH NEW YEAR.
The Day Will be Observed by
Our Jewish
Friends.
FEAST OF ROSH HASHANAH

Will Be Appropriately Observed-A
Liturgy Peculiar to the Day is Used
How the Day is Celebrated-Can
ionians will Go to Cleveland and
Help in the Celebration.
Commencing next Wednesday night,
she 18th, the Jewish New Year, Rosh
Hashanah, will be observed by the He
hrews all over the world during the sue
seeding twenty-four hours, with due
Pomp and solemnity.
At all the synagogues special services
will be held. In some communities
where the Jewish denomination is too
.mall and so cannot afford minister all
ahe year round, minister is especially
engaged for this holiday and the Day Of
Atonement, which follows shortly after.
According to the Jewish chronology,
ahe 18th of September, 1895, corresponds
with the first day of Tisri 5000. In other
words, that is Rosh Hahsanah, the Jew
tsh New Year. The orthodox Jewish
rAbbis maintain, and their statement Is
undoubtedly incontrovertible that it will
be exactly 8, $50 years on September 18th
since the divine command, let there
be light" resounded through infinite
space. All Jewish holidays, as also the
Sabbath days really begin before sundown
ON the evening before, so that in all the
synagogues and temples of the cities the
Rosh Hashanah service begins Wednes-
day night.
On the holidays proper, the reformed
Jews generally have but one service
which is usually held in the morning
while the orthodox have morning, after
moon and evening services. On Rosh Ha-
Shanah and Jem Kippur (the Day Of
AtOnement) the latter spend nearly all
ahe day 10 the synagogues praying, listen
Ang TO the reading and exposition of selec-
riOns from the Tenach (Old Testament),
and chanting the responsories of the He
brew liturgy.
There is but very little difference in the
liturgy for Rosh Hashanah today and
ahat used before the dispersion. The can
nor, who sings the scripture lesson in He
brow, makes use Of more melodious
fhant than the one used on Sabbath days.
There is no synagogue in Canton and
hence there will be no special services
here In Cleveland the day will be OBJ
served on grand scale, and the Canton
members Will go to that city and take
part.
