New York, Oct 2-The Jewish peo-

Atonement, the most widely observed
of all the many feasts and fasts in
the Hebrew calendar This fast day Is
considered the most important of all
the Mosaic holy day. With it's OBJ
seryance the penitentla season which
began with the New Year comes to
and end, and the Jews then look for
ward with joyful anticipation to the
celebration of Succoth, of the Feast
of Tabernacles, the harvest festival of
the ancient IsraeliLes.
Among the orthodox Jews Yom Kip
pur is kept as solemn fast, and for
twenty-four hours no food or drink or
nourishment of any kind is allowed to
pass the lips of the pious and observ-
ing jew. From this observance none
is exempt except the sick, children un-
der age, old people whose health would
be affected by abstention from noursh-

formed Jews Join with the orthodox
