A SHORT HISTORY.
Rosh Hash Shannah was the first
year of the Jews civil year and the
10th of September, beginning at s
o'clock'p. m. of the 9th corresponds
to the first dey of the month Tishei or
the seventh month of the ecclesiastical
year. which begun on the first day of
Ahib or Man. Accompanying the
celebration of the civil New Years
day which was established by Jehovah
while the children of Israel were in
the wilderness, shortly after their ex-
odus from Egypt, was the Feast of
Trumpets. Instead of just the usual
trumpet blast from the temple which
notified the people of all the religious
| SOAOAhcbACc. a SOntluu1l DiOWluR VI
the sacred trumDets was kept up all
day and the occasion was a most
solemn one. It was one of the seven
DAYS of Holy eonvocation and in ad-
dition to the daily sacrifices and the
eleven victims offered on the first day
OF every month there were offered a
Young bullock, ram and seven lambs
of the first year. with the accustomed
meat offerings and a kid for a sin
offering.
1t is said by bible scholars that the
LXXXI psalm, one of the songs of
Asapb, was composed expressly for
nse in celebrating the Feast of Trum-
pets. At any rare the psalm is used in
the service by modern Jews. The
day was considered solemn rest
day or Sabbath on which no work was
done, being a new moon asst.
Following this, in 10 days, is the
Day of Atonement. or Yom Kipperi,
the most solemn of all the Jewish fast
days. All Jews who failed to join in
the solemnities of this occasion were
cut off from Israel.
