Yom Kippur To Be
 Celebrated Friday
Twilight Will Mark the Beginning of Most Sacred Day
 in Jewish Calendar


 The twilight of Friday this week will mark the beginning of the most sacred day in the Jewish cal- endar-Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement for those of Jewish faith in Waterbury. In Jewish life this Holy Day Is also known as the Sabbath of sabbaths" and the Great White Fast" Unlike the observance of any other Jewish holiday, the Day of Atonement is marked by the unique feature of fasting which begins with tho and ends with sunset of the fol- lowing day.
 Like all other Jewish holidays, however, Tom Kippur has under- gone c change both in its meaning and manner of observance. In the days of the Temple when the

Jews dwelt in Palestine as tillers of the soil, tho Day of Atonement was chiefly characterized by sacri- ficial rites, as specified in Leviticus XVI. Both priests and people abstained from food and drink, ut- tered confessions of their sins, and invoked the God of Mercy for for giveness. The most stirring mos ment of the day came when, all alone, the high priest entered the Holy of Holies and there uttered c short prayer.
 But later, when the Jews were exiled from Palestine and the Tenn pie ceased to be the central insti- tuition in Israel, the Day of Atone- ment assumed a new aspect. Sac. rificos were no more; in their stead prayer and meditatoin were sub- stitued. The Rabbis of old en- dowed Tom Kippur with devout religious atmosphere. They con. sidered this day as the day when tho supreme judge of all set His seal to the fate of every creature on earth. Therefore, they empha- sized with great stress the necessity of fasting and prayer.
 Io-Qay, tHe inusbeb 0i JeWEy ssiii fast on Tom Kippur and, still ob. serve 1t with great solemnity and awe.inspiring prayers. But to-day the keynote is to raise the charac- ter of man to higher state of hu- manity. The prayers strive to con. vey the thought that the Day of Atonement is Q day of self-examin- alton and self-criticisn-a day up- on which man is to scrutinize his activities of the past year, judge them, weigh them. and henceforth resolve to turn from that which his best conscience considers evil and to follow that which his high CT self regards as good. For this reason, the Day of Atonement plays an important role in Jewish and social life at large as a force which makes for human betterment.

Blood Money Booked

a new George Bancroft movie, for
a weeks engagement starting Fri
day.
Mr.. Flex discusses Blood Money"
as follows:
The story exposes the machina-
lions whereby imprisoned crooks are
sprung, INSCRIPTIONS politicians are
railroaded into office-and out of it,
and mayors are made and unmade
at a jerk of the thumb of the bail
bond racketeer." But Bailey, played
by Bancroft, simultaneously be-
comes the heart interest of two
women, one a society deb and the
other a night club hostess. Both of
them doublecross him, Elaine, the
deb, through selfish ambition and
Ruby, the hostess, as retaliation for
a supposed wrong. Finally Ruby
hears that Bailey's gang-those
whom he has once befriended-are
out to put him on the spot and she
