Lexington Jews
Observe New Year

Yesterday, September 25th, the festival
of the New Year, (Rosh Hashanah) was
duly observed by the Jews of Lexington
by appropriate services at the Temple,
conducted by Mr.. Samuel Wolk, rab-
binical student from Baltimore, Mary
land. All the stores owned by Jews were
duly closed in observance of the day.
Like all the other Jewish holy days,
the festival commenced at sunset, on the
preceding day. Orthodox Jews observe
two days, whereas Reform Jews Keep
only one day.
The festival Of the New Year is one OF
the most important in the whole Jewish
calendar 1t is the first of series OF
holidays lasting nearly month. 1t 10
likewise the beginning Of the Jewish
year and one of its principal features is
the blowing of the Shofar or rams horn.
Apart from its joyful and festive ma
ture. Rosh Hashanah is rich in moral irrl-
port and significance The fact that it is
the beginning of the New Year lends it
special sacredness. 1t is the time Of
higher resolves, the turning point of the
year. 1t is the day which brings home
to the Jew with great force the lesson
that the time is short and the work is
great, and that as each year rolls quick
" by, the task must be accomplished
within shorter period
The festival is gentle reminder Of
the brevity of human existence, but 1t
optimistically stresses the doctrine that
man, far from being plaything in the
hands Of fate, can realize his life's work
If he but takes advantage of the swiftly
heeting moments.
