and Is commemorative Of the giving Of
the DecalOgue on Mount Siani IL is es-
seutialiv a Joyous festival. and one OF
the most popular in the Hebrew calendar.
The confirmation Of children takes place
on It. for the reason that originally IL
was harvest festival, ard the first
fruits were offered up. though after the
temple was destroyed and the sacrihcial
cult abandoned IL became merely an
historical festival The confirmation Of
the children is set for this day, because
IL means FOR them the acceptance Of the
Law as IL was received 10y the lsrae!tes

tive.
