A GREAT JEWISH HOLIDAY
Rosh Eiashonah Begins the Year
5663 Tomorrow.

One of the greatest Of all Jewish
feast days, New Year, occurs to-
morrow. The day begins this even
ing at sunset and lasts until sunset
tomorrow evening. 1t will be OBJ
served i'll Waxahachie as usual by
the closing of Jewish business
houses.
The Jewish New Year Rosh
Hashonah and the incident cele-
brations viii last over ten days, at
the conclusion of which Yom Kip
pur, the Day of Atonement, is duly
observed. Both the New Year and
Day of Atonement celebrations are
very interesting to the uninitiated,
The religious New Year begins on
the first day OF the seventh Jewish
month Tishri. Tishri was original
ly the feast month, but owing to the
fact that the children of Israel were
delivered from Egyptian bondage in
the month of Nissan and the great
stress laid by the Jew upcn liberty
Nissan is reckoned as the first
month, and the new calendar year
is still retained in the month of
Nissan.
The religious New Year is the be-
ginning of penitential season of
ten days, in which special prayers
are offered, some of extreme antiqui-
ty and others originating in the
middle ages during the persecution.
