HEBREW new YEAR
SEPTEMBER Is
Beginning Of the Year 5000
TO be Observed With
Devotion

Rosh-ha-shanah, the Jewish New Year,
beginning at dusk on the 25th OF next
month, marks the beginning Of the year
1868 OF the Jewish era. 1t is one Of the
few Jewish days which are celebrated
by all Jews, without regard TO whether

reformed church. The blowing Of the
shofar. or trumpet is one of the features
of the celebration.
Il is thought the beginning of the year
was for time celebrated from ancient
times. in a similar way TO the New Moon
Festival. This latter was generally OBJ
served on the periodical temperance Of
the moon, which was considered TO por-
tend benefit TO mankind-such as the re-
turn OF fruits In their special seasons
and was recognized by prayers and graft
itude to the Creator. According to the
Talmud, sservants were formally freed on
New Years Day. but were allowed to
stay on the lands of their former mas
ters and to enjoy themselves for 10 days,
until Yom Kippur. when the trumpet was
blown as signal for their de-
parture and for the restoration OF the
fields 60 their original owners.
Special services of prayers and other
devotions will be held I'm all of the Jew
ish temples and synagogues Of the
