''BY THE rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
yea we wept when we remembered Zion Thus the
from their beautiful homes, from amidst the towers
and palaces of Jerusalem.
The Ninth of Alb is a date of sinister import to
Judaism: twice has it the temple of the Lord
destroyed and Jerusalem devastated It has witness
ed too the expulsion of the Israelites from Spain,
when 800, 900 men, women and children were ruth
ess banshed their property practically confscated
and themselves compelled to seek homes in alien lands
This expulsion seemed to the Spanish Jews like
third destruction of Jerusalem. They had dwet in
and riches had been esteemed almost as mobiles had
held the highest Offices in the kingdom; had excelled
in the arts and sciences and yet despite all these
things driven forth if their presence had de-
filed the land
It's in memory Of these sad events that upon each
recurring anniversary of this fatenl day the pious
Jew celebrates the Ninth of Alb Not only does it
commemorate the sorrows of that day, but, in a
measure, all the of all the ages which Israel
has suffered for his adherence the service of heaven
and the salvation of humanity.
O, what record of suffering passes before the
minds eye, conveyed in the fact that in sixteen cen
turtles sixteen millions of Jews suffered martyrdom
Think of homes dismantled, women violated families

crime, and we have but faint conception of the
mseries endured by people rather than surrender
their faith.
The Sephardc form of service for the day is touch
ing in it's mingling of soul-reaching melodies with
forms of humility and sadness The achol or recep-
tace for the sepharim, is draped with black the
tebah, or reading-desk, is not used, but instead
table is placed between achol and tebah. The
ing service is read by candle-light and all the
comitants tend to produce mournfu effect.
Many of the tunes are really pathetic and cannot
but find an echo in the heart. One of the hymns
contrasts the difference between the going out from
Egypt and the going out from Jerusalem:
!" The waves of the sea roared, and stood up as a
wall when came forth from Egypt:
But the waters overlooked my head and
whelmed me when went forth from Jerusalem.
Then Moses sang the song which shall never be
forgotten, when came forth from Egypt:
But jeremiah lamented with sorrow, lamentation,
and VICE. when went forth from Jerusalem.
Moses fed me, Aaron led me, when l forth
from Egypt
But Nebuchadnezzar and Adrain the emperor
oppressed me, when went forth from Jerusalem.
One hymn narrates the martydom of Hannah and
her sons, another tells Of the ten sages slain.
And at the close of the day, after having bewailed
in so many paintive strains the and Of
concluding prayer: :" Comfort We, comfort ye, my
people, saith your Cod" Sing aloud, We heavens!
and rejoice earth! We mountains burst forth into
song for the Lord hath comforted his people; he
will have compassion on his afflicted"
Nothing could SO much affect he hearts and brains
of dispersed Israel the grevous evils they had
dured; and naturally they depicted their in
flowing verse and meodious hymns There
no lack of suitable material from which to compile
fitting service for this memorable day.
What commentary does the expulsion from
Spain after residence Of fifteen hundred years afford
to the remark so frequently made, that stakes
SO firmly fixed in this country that they cannot
be moved
