The Day Of Atonement or "Yom
Kippur," the tenth day Of the month
Of Iishri, begins at sunset Friday, DC.
tober 9Th and ends at sunset Satur-
day, October Tth, and will be observed
with appropriate services BY the Is
raelite citizens Of Greenwood. The
thought underlying the day is ex-
pressed in the scriptural words "On
this day He will atone for you, to
purify you from all your sins" It is
"a day, therefore, Of reconciliation Of
man with his fellow-man and with
God, and comes as a climax to the
holiday season which began Wednes-
day evening, September eth, with the
New Years Day and continued
through the ten days Of ~penitence. On
New Years Day Of Judgment of or
binary people, who had been neither
completely righteous nor utterly sin
full was left undecided and the oppor-
tunity was given them for repentance;
now the Day Of Atonement provides
all men with the possibility of return
ing to their God and of finding recon-
ciliation with Him through prayer.
The day is the most solemn Of all
days in the Jewish calendar. 1t is
passed in fasting and prayer. The
whole day is spent in the synagogue.
In the evening there is the service
which commences with the chantingo Of
the well-known MOL Nirde prayer. The
day proper has four services. OF
these the Mussaf or additional service
contains a description of the atone
ment rites as practices in the ancient
days in, the Temple Of Jerusalem; and
the Neilah service is understood to be
held at the time when decision is final
~ made as to mans fate, and thus the
prayers instead Of having the
usual phrase, "Inscribe us in the book
