THE YEAR 1913 AT HAND.
Feast of Rosh Hashannh Began Las,
Night with Religious Observances.


Millions Of curiously inscribed cards
bearing Hebrew greetings for happy
new year swamp the postofiices through
out the country. particularly In large
cities, and will keep the postal employees
busy for the next two weeks. Rosh
Hashanah. the Jewish new year. began
last evening at sunset, and will be OBJ
served for two days by the orthodox; but
the exchange Of greetings will continue
until the Day of Atonement. eight days
later.
According to Jewish tradition. last
evening ushered in the year 5673 since
the creation. But Rosh rlashanah is not
only the first day Of the month Of
Tishri and the opening day of the year,
when one resolves to turn over a new
leaf. or to turn back an old one but it
has also religious significance. 1t is the
day when God sits In judgment over every
mans moral record and records his fate
for the ensuing year. Ones fate is sealed
on Yom Kippur, the 10th Of Tishri. and
only through contrite prayer and sincere
penitence can one change his fate for the
better before 1t is sealed. Hence the
greeting on Rosh Hashanah Is. Les
hanah tobah tickathebu" ("May you be
inscribed for prosperous year'r. and on
the remaining days Of penitence, Les
hanah tobah techathemu" CMay you be
sealed for a prosperous Year,.
For nearly month preparations have
been made for the Judgment day. Every
morning after services during the present
month of Elul a succession Of sharp
blasts on the shofar. or rams horn Is
sounded, to rouse the hearts Of men to
repent of their ways During this week
additional services are held every morn
Ing at dawn, when special supplications,
or Selchoth are recited.
| The chara cteristic ceremony of Rosh
Hashanah is the blowing of the shofar.
1t will take place this morning at
the reformed temples, and both Thursday
and Friday mornings a all orthodox syn
aeogues. The real meaning of the custom
Is unknown. In addition to the explana-
ton that It is a call for repentance. much
mystical significance has been attached
to this time-honored custom.
| On the afternoon of the first day OF
Rosh Hashanah. the curious custom OF
Tashlich is observed. Groups Of men and
women make their way to some bridge
or waters edge, and after reciting certain
prayers. shake the skirts Of their gar.
ments over the water. This Is symbolic OF
shaking off sin. and is based on verse II
| Micah, "And cast into the depths OF thu
sea all their sins" The custom was prob
ably originated by the mystics of the mid
Gle ages, and Is not widely observed II
this country.
