We're singing the songs of him,
The lays of his life's glad morning.
The psalms of his evening time,
Whose echues shall float forever
ON the Winds of every cline
All their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds of cheer,
Came Hooking back To his windows
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful. but solemn and tender,
The music rose and fell.
With Joy akin to sadness
And a greeting like farewell
With "A sense of awe he listened

The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1898-09-16

In THE various articles upon the holy days which
appeared in the local dalies prepared evidently by
master hand, Shmini Azereth was persstently g
nored. Possibly this is in keeping with the idea pro-
mugated several years ago, that that festival is the
" fifth wheel of the COACH

a rather bad one) but it would to us that the

ALL OF usIare more or less accustomed to hearing
the statement made that Yom Kippur is the most
sacred day in the Jewish calendar. little reflection
will tend to show u.s. however, that the day has no
inherent holiness, but, like ourselves, is what we
make it. Observed as SUCH it becomes the most sa-
cred day in the year Let no distinction be made be-
tween it and other days and it's holiness vanshes
At other time is the line Of demarcation be-
tween the Judaism Of this and former days more
strongly drawn. Many are there who scrupulously
adhere to it's strict observance, and with whom the
fast is bounden duty to be shrked under no
circumstances. Others possibly sincere in their
way, "see sense in il, . and make distinction.
The fault is not theirs, but in their raising, and
their credit it can be said that though not Jews at
heart they possess the redeeming feature of be-
ing hypocrtes.
In Richmond in particular the day is accorded a
sacredness in but few cities Most Of people
fast, and those who do not make ostentatious
display of their shortcomng. The of frivoty
among the young people, often witnessed in larger
cities, find no place here The synauogue behavior,
reprehensibe in many localities all that could be
desired. There is running about from syna-
agogue to another out of sheer curiosity. In our
largest congregation it is not unusual to see the
tire assembage of several hundred persons remain
in their seats from beginning end of the service
Even the time honored of parading the ba-
bies into synagogue and sending bouquets to the la
dies have been abandoned
SO far as the outward observance Of the day is
concerned it is pretty much it should be. AS to
its sincerity that is question which each
