DAY OF ATONEMENT
OBSERVED BY JEWS
Services Held Here in 1900
Regular and Provisional
Synagogues.

The Day Of Atonement was observed
yesterday by all Jews. As a holy day
it began on Friday at shutdown and
ended last night at shutdown.
Among the orthodox there were
prayers In the synagogues throughout
the forenoon, memorial services at
moor and addresses throughout the af-
ternoon. In the reform temples there
were sermons at noon and , p. NJ,
and memorial services beginning at 4
p. VI. closed the day.
A new feature OF the Atonement sea-
son on the East Side was the provi-
slonal synagogue, usually in a hall. all
OF whose attendants came from some
particular city abroad. So many Tur-
kish Jews are In New York that there
were three provisional synsgogues whose
worshippers. about 1000 each. came ex-
clusively from Constantinople. Others
had worshippers exclusively from smyr-
"a, and still others from Damascus.
The IN were in Spanish.
In most OF these ~synagogues after the
holy day had ended. societies were
formed for social work and for the re-
lief OF war sufferers.
There were 1900 provisional and reg-
ula ~synagogues in which services we're
held In the greater city. In some sec
lions far downtown parlors were opened
to accommodate those who could not
get into halls. In one short block
in Allen street there were three provi-
sional ago in halls and two par
lor synagogues. and IN one OF the for
mer services were held simultaneously
on four floors.
Among those who made addresses
there were not enough rabbis to go
around-were young college men who
had been driven from schools in the Eu-
ropeau war zone At Temple Emanuel
the Rev. pr. S.lverman recounted the
great deeds ~ the Jews in religion and
other lines of human endeavor. He said
his aim was to make Jews see that
everybody ought to n a man who Is
brave enough 20 say that he is proud OF
being a Jew. He urged Jews TO hold
their heads high, and said prejudice is
no credit to any man. no matter what
his race, his religion, his nation"
DR.. SilvermAn sal IL is the duty Of all
Jews 10 support the few Jewish leaders
who are trying to bring about the eman-
cipation of the race at the close OF the
war"
Upon the 1900, 900 Jews in the United
states" he said. rests the duty Of eman-
cipatine the other 1900 900 Jews OF the
world"
