ucation in dismissing Edwin w. OIL

duct unbecoming teacher against

JEWISH FEAST Or
WEEKS SUNDAY
Ceremony is Called teh Count
Ing of the 0mer-Starts
Saturday at Shutdown.

The Jewish Feast of Weeks will take
place on Sunday, May 27, commencing
at sundown Saturday evening. The
GATE OF the feast Is reekoned from the
1east OF Passover. On and after the
second day of Passover which was on
Sunday April 8 this year, a special
benediction and a varying formula
were inserted into each evening pray
er so as to count the passing days.
This ceremony is called The Counting
or the Omer, because during the exist
ence OF the Temple at Jerusalem the
counting of these days began with the
burning of the first sheaf Gin Hebrew
'Omer) of the barley harvest, to the
Temple, as a wave Offering" When
the count reaches forty-nine days 1. O.,
week" of weeks, the Feast of Shab-
uoth (Weeks) or Pentecost (the Greek
for ''f1ftieth day") is celebrated.
The Feast of Weeks Is one of tho
three Pilgrimage Festivals. In ancient
times, men would come from all over.
the land of Canaan on a pilgrimage
to the Temple of jerusalem. Since
this feast marked the end of the grain
harvests. and the beginning Of tho
fruit harvest, the pilgrims began to
bring the first ripe fruits of their
fields as gift to the priests at the
temple. In modern times there are
special holiday services: the syna-
gogues are usually decorated with
plants and flowers as a "reminiscences Of
ancient agricultural nature of the
feast. In the morning service the
Book OF Ruth is read to the congrega-
tion. This book is particularly we'll
chosen for the occasion because of its
harvest scenes, and perhaps also be-
cause Ruth was a convert to Judaism
rejecting her Moabite gods and ac-
cepting the worship of the God Of Is
rael; and this day is considered to be
the anniversary of the day when tho
law was given on Mt. Sinai and Israel
accepted God and his Law. "Shab-
uoth" therefore besides being the
Feast of harvest Weeks Is also des-
ignated as the Time of the Giving
of our Law!"
Since this feast Is the anniversary
of the giving of the Law on Mt. 81
nal, Reform congregations in America
have appropriately chosen 1t as the
day for Confirmation. On the anniver-
sary of the day on which Israel accept
ed the law of God the young men and
women of Israel accept the faith ana
affirm their loyalty to the religion Of
their fathers.
