ROSH HASHONOH.

Rosh Hashonoh, the Jewish New
Years Day, falls according to the
Bible, on the first day of the seventh
month Of the Jewish calendar. Nissan
is always called the first month, while
Tishri, the first day of which is New
Years Day, is spoken of as the sew
enth month"; This is almost paradox
cal. Evidently in Biblical times the
first of Tishri was not yet consider
cred New Years Day. Indeed the
festival celebrated on the first day
of Tishri is known in the Bible only
as the "Day of the Sounding of the
Shofar' And that was the whole
significance of the day. The sound
ing of the shofar was for a memo
rial before God, which means for
the purpose of being remembered be-
fore God.
Yet here and there we find some
references to the autumn season in the
Bible to indicate that, for economic
purposes at least, Tishri and not Nj
san was the first month of the year.

OUR ANNIVERSARY.

This number, as you, dear reader,
may see for yourself, marks the first
anniversary of this paper under its
present name. AS the continuation
of a former journalistic venture of
ours, The Jewish Weekly, this pa
per is really entering upon its fourth
year. But as The American Jewish
World it has so far weathered the
storms of one year.
We claim this to be quite an
achievement for the Twin Cities.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLA

The uninterrupted existence of a
Jewish paper for one whole year
Nay more than that. 1t has not only
existed, but it has grown and devel-
oped, and, in a measure, prospered,
as this special number testifes. And
the prospects for it's continued exist
ence and prosperity are brighter
than ever. All this has been accom-
plished, we are sorry to confess,
without its getting the proper sup
port from the leaders, communal
workers, and other publicspirited
Jewish citizens of the two commune
ties. They have not yet learned the
value of local paper, that reaches
all Jewish homes in which English
is read, for educational and propa-
ganda purposes. They do not yet
appreciate the fact that their own
efforts on behalf of synagogue,
school, charity, lodge, club, or study
circle, can be made all the more eff
cient by the use of such medium.
Were we not personally interested in
them very plainly about their atti-
tude of indifference.
But, after all, that, too, is a mat
ter of education. We are sure that
time will bring about change We
appreciate the valuable support Civ
en- to our paper by some of the Mem
bers of the Advisory Board. We
can assure them that we shall
not slacken our efforts in the flu
ture to make The American Jew
ish World a welcome weekly visitor
to every Jewish home within our
territory.
In the meantime, to all our read
ers and friends (even those who have
not paid yet for their subscription),
and to all our advertisers and their
patrons, we extend our wish of a
very Happy New Year!

portance of its first day as the Day
of Sounding Of the Shofar,-its be-
ing the month in which the Day of
Atonement and the Succoth festival
fall, the historical importance Of its
first day as the day on which Ezra
for the first time read the law before
the assembled congregation, and its
religious Importance as Day of
Judgment, which idea was associated
with the sounding of the shofar, grad
ually led in early rabbinic times to the
designation Of the first of Tishri as
the New Years Day par excellence.
Rosh Hashonoh is a day of two
fold character, or double significance,
in the Jewish calendar 1t is joyful
festival, but at the same time day
of great solemnity. AS the first of
the year it is a day Of great rejoicing
Friends exchange greetings and good
wishes, and the JOY of the day is en-
HANGED by the family feast. It is
even customary on Rosh Hashonoh
eve to eat apples dipped in honey,
expressive of the wish that the New
Year might be good and sweet
But as the Day of Judgment it is
one of very solemn character. The
prayers and chants Of the synagogue
service are Of a sonnbre tone, the
thought of divine judgment fills the
soul with misgivings and fear and
the prayers and applications are
most fervent. In this connection we
may quote Talmudic authority
who teaches that three books are
open in heaven on Rosh Hashonoh:
one in which the perfectly righteous
are inscribed with verdict for con-
tinued life; another in which the ut
terly wicked are entered with YER
dict Of death; and third in which
the mediocre ones are listed whose
sentence is suspended until Yom
Hakkippurin, SO that they may by
good deeds during the intervening
days turn the balance in their favor
The ten days from Rosh Hashonoh
to Yom kippur are, therefore, called
the Ten Days of Repentance.
1t is in connection with the ideas
of sin, Judgment, and repentance that
in later medieval times the practice
of "tashlich'' sprang up, namely the
practice of going on Rosh Hasho-
noh afternoon to river or any other
body of flowing water, and there to
recite verses from Micah and other
Biblical passages in which the
divine forgiveness of sins is referred
to, and, when repeating the words
of Micah "and thou wilt throw
