The Winnipeg Jewish Community is
at present busily engaged in cam
paign which has for its OBJECT the rails
ing of a sum Of 100000, TO provide
for II Jewish Orphanage. Eighty thou
sand dollars has been raised in Winni-
peg and the West. and there is no
doubt but that the necessary funds will
ultimately be secured for this much
needed institution. The President is
Mr. L. Levinson, X. C.. one of the most
prominent communal workers, and IL
tower of strength TO his people in
Winnipeg. both on account of his ac-
tivity in all communal affairs. and
also on account of the regard which is
felt for him by the general community.
The general condition of the Jewish
communities of Western Canada is at
present excellent, tho the fact that the
past harvest is not as good as was
hoped for, cannot but have a marked
effect ON the general growth of the
community. \ feature of the West is
the large number of Jewish store
keepers in all the smaller towns. This
is especially the case along the line
of the Canadian Northern railway.
around which, i'll Alberta and Sas-
kntchewan. especially north of the
main railway line. there are large
Galician colonies Generally the jew
ish community is on most cordial
terms with other elements of the pop
ulation. and there is. as far as can
he judged. every prospect of an assur-
ed future for the settlements in tins

TIE SABBATH LIGHTS.

one of the most beautiful customs
of the Jewish 18th is the kindling of
the Sabbath lamp In his notes to the
Authorized Daily Prayer Book Dr.
Abrahams gives an interesting account
of this ceremon..
In the days OF the Temple. one OF
The priests. 50 Juscpilus tells MS, used
to stand on the battlcmcnt of fhc TEN
pie, and siSnalle,l. by means of a trum-
ret, the bcginnin:; aud end OF the SAP
bath The Taimud tells us that the
trumpet was sounded three times on
Friday afternoon. To warn field labor
crs to stop work. to direct shop keep
CrS TO close their stores, and to imdi-
cate that the hour had come for kind
ling the lamp. This indicates that
the custom Of lighting the sabbath
lamp is II very ancient one. and, in
deed. the RabbiS only discuss the de-
tails of the cercmoney, taking the Gus
tom itself for granted.
The NIiShna tells us that the kind
ling of the Sabbath light was the spc-
cial duty of the woman The entry
and departure of the Sabbath We're
both marked by light-a light forming
an essential feature of the beginning
OF the day of rest the day of the home
was kindled by the wife, while the
lamp marking the end of the rcst-day
the resumption of the weeks work
was kindled by the husband. This wns
in keeping with the ancient Jewish
ideal which regarded the home as the
womnm'S sphere and the worli-a-day
world as the mans. II has been sug-
gcstcd that the sabbath light takes its
origin in a very early custom which
required. as II religious rite. that tn.
domestic fires should he Eept burning
and renewed from week to week. The
Mishna says that Sarah kept Il lamp
burning from one Friday eve to the
next.
II H. interesting to note that the
blessing rccited on kindling the lamp
Describes it as divine command tho
nothing is said in the Bible itself about
it, The explanation is that Judaism
regards its tradition as bound together
in continuous chain. some links OF

were instituted by religious teachers
