JEWISH CITIZENS ARE TO
OBSERVE FEAST OF PASSOVER
SPECIAL SERVICES WILL BE
HELD HERE ON MONDAY
EVENING.

will observe the annual Feast of
the Passover, beginning tomorrow
and lasting for several days. Special
services will be held at Temple
B'Nai Israel Monday evening at
7:45 o'clock conducted by Mr..
Simon Loeb, and the public is cor
daily invited to attend. A musical
program will be given.
1t is the first festival of emanci-
patton in the history of civilization.
Its commemoration is based on the
Biblical narrative which tells how
the people of Israel enslaved in
Egypt were lead from bondage into
freedom by the great leader, Moses.
The Passover festival speaks for
the sanetity of the home as well as
for self-respect and liberty. The
Jews accordingly assemble in their
homes on this festival, and signalize
it by solemn service in which the
story of the ancient struggle is re-
counted with pious fervor. This
Seder, as it is called, is unique in
spirit and form. 1t is earnest and yet
happy, and its ritual, though archaic
symbolizes the facts of human ex-
perience in all conditions of life.

paschal lamb of the first Passover
