the lnndDlIdIllS OF the WOIlQ pass IOI
judgment before the Creator, as
sheep pass for examination before
the shepherd" (R. H. I. p. Three
books of account are opened on
Rosh Ha Shanah wherein the fate
of the wicked, the righteous and
those of an intermediate class mot
utterly wicked) are recorded. The
names of the righteous are inscribed,
and sealed "to live. The middle
class are allowed a respite of ten
days till Yom Kippur, to repent and
become righteous; the wicked are
"b1otted out of the Book of the Liv-
ing"
AS an omen Of good luck for the
New Year, Abaye said one should
eat on Rosh Ha Shanah pumpkin,
fenugreeks, leeks, beets, and dates
(Hor. II a., because they grow
quickly and because, it is declared,
their names in Aramaic mean
plentiful" or forgiveness Ezra
told the people on Rosh Ha Shanah
(the first of the seventh monthly "eat
the fat and drink the sweet" (Neh.
VIII. 10Y. The prevailing custom
was to partake of some specially
palatable meal on New Years eve.
In France in the twelfth century
the custom was to supply the table
with red apples; in Provence, with
grapes, figs, and calfshead, or any
thing new and easily digested, and
tasty, as an omen of good luck. r.
Jacob Molln Oath cent mentions
the custom of eating apples with
honey and deer's head in remem-
brance of the "Akedah incident" An
other reason for eating an animals
head is to presage that one will
be "ahead' and not backward in
his undertakings during the ensuing
year.
In modern times the table is
served with grapes, and other fruits,
and honey. After the benediction
of the "Ha-Mozeh" the bread is
dipped in the honey. when the fol-
lowing benediction is recited:
MAY it please the Lord our God
and God of our fathers to renew for us
a good and sweet year.. The feast
ing is in anticipation that the pray
ers will be acceptable and in re-
lance on the goodness of God. In
ancient times the Jews ON Rosh
Ha-Shanah were dressed in white.
