FEAST OF WEEKS 10
BE OBSERVED FRIDAY

The Feast OF Weeks, known in,
Hebrew as Shabuoth, will be cele-
brated this year next Frfday-in all
Jewish congregations in this coun-
try. This festival is among those
which orthodox synagogs observe
in two successive days. II
The particular interest OCCASION
ed by this feast rests in the mod
ern use made of it by reform
congregations On this festival the
children of the religious school
who have attained practical
knowledge of Bible history and
Jewish religious beliefs and doc
trines, as well as reading know
ledge of Hebrew, are graduated or
confirmed
The confirmation ceremony is a
modern adaptation by the syna-
cog. In this rite the children tes-.
tify to the love and justice where
with God rules the destinies OF
men and nations. It is a cerem ony
of conservation. wherein the boy
and girl, having reached the age
of reason, pledge themselves to
continue the covenant made be-
tween God and Israel at Sinai,
when God gave the Decolog unto
Israel and consecrated him a
priest-people to serve at the altar
of humanity
A renewal of this dedication is
now involved in the confirmation
service which marks, on the one
hand elimination OF religious
instruction received in the re11-
gious school, and on the other
hand voluntary recognition of

I set out to make my dresses

asking me to attend to her or

thinks she is doing me great
favor when she. asks me to give

department of the children s

splendid idea to reconstruct the

She stopped down into the skiff
