ANNUAL OBSERVANCE
OF FEAST OF PENTEcosT
Explanation Of Its Significance by Pro-
fessor Rothman Of Hebrew Free
School.

On Thursday evening after sunset
the Hebrews of the city began the
annual observance of the Feast of
Pentecost, which continues till Satur-
day evening at about the same time.
At this festival the synagogues and
temples are decorated with flowers.
The following explanation of the sig
nificance of the feast is furnished by
Prof. s. Rothman of the Norwich He
brew free school:
Pentecost (Heb. Sh'vuos) marked
the wheat harvest Sh'vu-os means
weeks, because seven weeks were
counted from the time they began cut
ting the barley at Passover. On the
day after the seven weeks We're over,
on the fiftieth day. this festival was
observed: this gives the reason for the
name Pentecost, which means fiftieth.
The festival receives added meaning
and Importance from the fact that it
was the very day on which the Ten
Commandments were given on Mount
Sirai, the time when Israel was chosen
as a people to God. the time when
Israel was to be welded to that beau
tiful woman called "Thorah,' a wo-
man beautiful and attractive, jealousy
desired by each and every people and
still peculiarly tied to Israel-tied in
such a form that no severance could
be any question. Israel celebrates the
confirmation ceremony, because of
love to the Thorah, in spite of the
fact that he has suffered so much be-
cause of her. "Sufferance has been
the badge of all our tribe. The wild
dove hath her nest, the fox his grave;
mankind their country; Israel but
grave" Nations and their spiritual
Representatives have been astonished
at this mere miraculous martyrdom.
They could not understand how Israel
did not tire of endurance; how Israel
was not drowned in his own blood
and tears; but we understand it very
we'll. 1t is the work of God; it is the
code of His law, for which We were
crueified and burned at the stake, and
we are glad to know that we are still
alive. youthful and strong. to uphold
the Thorah which was given to us at
this season That is why we celebrate
the confirmation of the law, as well as
the Passover festival. for the feeling
of liberty. gained on the Passover fes-
tival, was thus hallowed and strength
ened by the laws given at Sinai and
