JEWISH YEAR 5000 HERE.
Celebrations Tonight IN Homes and
Houses of Worship.

The Jewish year 1853 Will begin at sunset Today
and Will be celebrated in all Jewish houses of wor-
ship and in all family circles where the ancient
forms are still observed. According to the Hepre"
calendar the day is the first of the month OF lishIi
and is according tradition the time at "iiich lle
Book of Life is opened by the Creator for record
ing the fate of all men for the coming year.
This ancient tradition also teaches that the BOOK
of Life is kept open for ten DAYS oelore IL 10
finally closed for the year. These days are KNOWN
the penitential term and 1t is because OF TINS
belief that the supplication 20 write us IN the
Book of Life" may be heard in all synasogues al
the services this evening and tomorrow.
The day is also known memorial day" on
which the shofar-trumpet made of the ram norm
lis sounded to remind those who hear 1t that the
day of judgment is and that the time Tor re-
pentance has arrived. The new year is also OBJ
served in Jewish circles as time for family reun-
ions and rejoicing, and 1t is one or the TWO holy
days which usually observed py even those
Jews who belong to the ultra-reformed wing ana
have cast aside all other Jewish observances.
Among the orthodox Jews the custom of visiting
for purpose of bringing good wishes Is still IN
vogue and the households in the Jewish quarters
on the East Side and in the Harlem district nave
been made attractive. and larders have been re-
plenished in order that the visiting neighoors may
be properly entertained
Letters of congratulation and postal cards have
been going through the mail in great numbers and
some Of the latter are remarkable for their MKT
ure of religion and material things. One Of these
postal cards has a picture OF the Weeping Wall
at Jerusalem and under it the legend To-day,
and next to this a group of sk,scrapers with the
caption Jerusalem when Zion is state,' and
under all the business address and new years
greetings of the ingenious sender.
There will be services in all the synagogues and
temples this evening at sunset and tomorrow. and
in the orthodox synagogue the new years services
will be continued according to ancient custom for
a second day. Arrangements have been made for
religious services for the benefit of the Jews who
may be al Ellis Island and there will also be ser
vices at all the Jewish charitable institutions
