JEWISH PEOPLE
WILL OBSERVE
|. ROSH HASHANAH

The first services or Itosh Hashan~
ah, the Jewish New Year celebration,
will be held by the Jewish people OF
Douglas at $50 Wednesday night
with a meeting of the local synagos'
in the Odd Fellows hall. The meet-
ing will be conducted by j. Levy,
president of the synagog. The Rosh
Hashanah is the beginning of the
holy season, which ends with the
Feast of the Conclusion, on the eve,
Ening Of September 80.
In Jewish tradition, the Rosh Hash"
hama marks the anniversary of the
creation of the world, supposed to
Ihave taken place 5687 years ago.
The difference from our calendar in
years is of little Importance, but the
first day of the new year makes 1t
one of the holiest in the Jewish
calendar and is one set aside FOR
&ntrospection and self-examination
/. The sacred character of the day
lis implied by the two other names
lfy which it is known. 1t is called
lYhe Day Of Memorial, or remembrance,
L and as such, calls upon all Jews
Ito remember the divine purpose OF
life. 1T is also known as the Day
lDf the Blowing of the Trumpets, its
| purpose being to arouse the Israelite
lfrom self-complacency and stir him
| to high resolves and nobler deeds.
The essential ceremony Of the serv-
ices in the synagogue on Rosh Has
hanah is the blowing of the trum-
| pet, in accordance with the injunc-
tion in Leviticus 1924 which reads,
I'm the seventh month, on the first
day of the month shall ye have q
Sabbath, a memorial of blowing OF
trumpets, and holy convocatton."
In the Reform Synagogue, Rosh
Hashanah is celebrated from sunset
ef September the eighth to sunset
IF September the ninth, whereas
among orthodox Jews, the holiday
does not end until sunset of Sep
