HEBREW
NEW YEAR
1t Begins at Shutdown
Being the 5,664th
Anniversary
Jewish New Year is Movable
Completing a Cycle
Every Nineteen
Years

New York, Sept 22.--According to
the Jewish calendar the 56s4th year
since the creation of the world be-
gins at sundown tonight. This being
the Jewish New Year 1t is ono OF the
most important festivities known to
Hebrews. and elaborate preparations
have been made for it's observance all
over the world. At sunGet tonight the
ceremonies begin, and they will CON
tinue for three weeks, The opening
event is the feast Of the trumpets.
Three days hence falls the fast of
Guedsliah, when the orthodox Jews
abstalns from food. and even from
water. Other important days during
the festival season are the feast of
tabernacles on the fifteenth day. and
the rejoicing Of the law on the twenty.
first All these ceremonies are re-
quired to properly begin the Jewish
New Year.
The first day of the year is regarded
by the Jews as tho day OF judgment,
because they say that on that day God
sits in judgment on the deeds Of in
dividuals and assigns TO every one his
fate for the coming year-dcath or
life. or the kind of death due those
who die, such as death by fire or
water. The prayer offered on the
first day is that the names OF all the
people may b written In the book OF
life. New Years day has for its dis
tinguishlng feature the blowing OF The
"shofar"-a straight horn Of antelope
or wild goat. This trumpet is designed
to serve as a summons TO all Israel
to enter upon the work of sanctifica.
tion and prepare for the Day of Atone
ment.
The jewish New Year Is a movable
feast. like the Christian festival OF
Easter. and is fixed by the changes OF
the moon. The longest year was 3s5
days and the shortest 355 days. but
the complete cycle OF nineteen years
corresponds with nineteen solar
years. The leap years, arranged to
make the years synchronize with the
seasons, contains thirteen months.
On this day, 5664 years ago the Jews
say, God began the work OF creation.
On tho lower East Side there is
scarcely a hall to be found that win
not be occupied for religious pur.
poses during the holidays. The thea.
ters are all converted into synagogues
actors turned cAntors, and some
lodges arc oven forced to hold ser.
vices in the rear OF saloons. During
the last few days Canal and Grand
streets have become more and more
impossible as the holidays approach.
