YOM KIPpUR IS OBSERVED
IN ALL SYNAGOGUES HERE

In every temple and synagogue of
the Hebrew faith throughout the
world, Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day
of Atonement. was ushered in at sun
set last night. This. the most sac
red and solemn of Jewish holidays
came in with the blowing of the
shofar or rams horn, which for more
than five thousand years has sum-
moned members of the faith TO pray
er and fasting. In each of the tenn
pies in this city last night there were
large crowds in attendance at b
services held and again today many
are seen entering the synagogues
solemn prayer. Services are being
held at Beth Mordecai Temple in Ho-
bart street, Shaary Tfloh Temple in
Madison avenue and Bnei Zion Insti-
tute in Fayette street.
In the Jewish calendar, yesterday
was the tenth day of the month OF
Tishri. At shutdown the poorest jew
ish storekeeper joined with the rich
est merchant in laying aside BUSH
ness cares and repairing to the tenn
pie for prayer and duplication.
There are five sets of prayers for
Yom Kippur which is based on the
e laid down by Moses in Le-
viticus xvi, 30: God will forgive you
to clear you from all your sins, that
you may be clean before the Lord"
Work of any nature is forbidden. no
food is taken, secular affairs r BAN
ished and the time is given wholly
TO spiritual communion. AS ii be-
gins the holy day will end with the
blowing of the shofa- and in five days
will occur the Feast of the Taber-
nacle.

tanned whether or not the law was
