ly for over thirty centuries.
Zman Mattan TOrateinu, the Per-
iod of Receiving our Torah, is the
keynote to our entire life as Jews
our history, our heroes, our
great martyrs, our very being
find their source, their fountain
head, in this Revelation.
One of the very impressive rit-
uals of ShabOuth used to be the
whole night vigil. The syna-
gogues and places of worship
would be kept open for worship
pers to sit and read from a book
called Tikkun ShabOuth, which
was a compilation of beginnings
and ends of Torah and Talmud,
thus making us learn through the
whole of our ancient lore. On the
second day of the festival land in
Palestine on the first) the beauti-
full pastoral Book of Truth is
read. This is done not only be-
cause Of its two-fold significance
deriving from the fact that it is
an agricultural tale which relates
Ruth's embracing the Judaic law,
but also because King David is
supposed to have died on that day,
and Ruth was his great-grand-
mother. No one who reads Ruth's
story can miss the charm of this
ancient narrative, which inspires
us to think of the time when to
become a Jew meant something,
when princess of a neighboring
state-as Ruth was, according to
lcgend-begged to be allowed to
embrace Judaism.
1t is customary to serve milk
dishes on this holy day. This, to-
gether with the custom of decor
ating the synagogues with greens
and flowers, may be a relic-and
a beautiful one-of the ancient
agricultural aspect of the festi-
val.
Modern Palestine has again
given to this season the Bilxkurim
idea. On the morrow of Shah
Outh, not on the day proper, the
Bikkurim parades and celebra-
lions, the proceeds of which go
to the National Fund, are arrang-
ed all through Eretz Israel. The
festivities are most exciting and
wonderful and in prewar days
demonstrated along with the
Purim Carnival at Tel Aviv the
new way of Jewishness over there.
ShabOuth falls at the most
beautiful period of the entire
year, when Spring is about to
change into Summer. Our hearts
arc filled with thanksgiving for
the glory Of the future, and our
minds remember our nations in

SnaDOuGN, Tie JEWISH OPA AAA6
Festival, though of short dura-
ton and though somewhat dim
med of its glory in this country
since it does not distinguish itself
by observance with any specially
marked ceremony, is nevertheless
one of the three important Pill
grim Festivals, being on a par
with Passover and Succoth, and
Biblically speaking is even more
popular than ROsh HaShanah.
This festival is called ShabOuth,
Hag Habikkurim and also Atze-
reth. Each of these names mir
rors a step in its development.
In its earliest period it was main
Nv celebrated as an agricultural
festival. like most of our holy
DAYS, which were in the main
bucolic in nature originally. Nag
Habikkurim, Feast of the First
Ripe Fruit, bears all the earmarks
of an agricultural festival-recall-
ing the days when people and
soil were united, when man de-
pended on nature alone for his
very life. So this was the day
dedicated to the festival of the
close of the corn-harvesting,
which was a relic of the Canaan
itish influence.
Our ancestors gave this festival
a really Jewish spirit and it be-
came not only the Bikkurim but
also an Atzereth, a solemn assem-
bly, which completed the cycle of
the three Pilgrim Festivals. Those
farmers who came to Jerusalem
from distant parts for the pill
grimage of Passover naturally
stayed on till after six weeks af-
ter the last day of that holy day,
and farmers from near parts
would go back home only to come
back to the capital city and the
shrine with the Bikkurim, the
fruit that had ripened first.
The festival also became known
as ShabOuth, the Hebrew word
meaning weeks the plural form
of Shabouth. There were people
and we find them among the old
theologians-who considered this
word to mean oaths, from the
word Shevuah, thus connecting
it with the Revelation, or with
the giving of the Torah, which is
also celebrated on this day.
ShabOuth, falling seven weeks
from the second day of Passover,
also accounts for another common
name given to this holiday
Penticost, which is the Green for
fiftieth, the fiftieth day of the
counting of the Omer, the barley

fancy when God spoke with men
and when men understood God.
It is holy days such as these that
reaffirm our faith in the final
triumph of mind over matter
that make us confident that in
the struggle between Wotan and
the God of Israel the latter shall
prevail over Berchtesgaden.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-05-22

measure. This PenticOSt found its
way into the Christian Church as
holy day by this name (see Acts
III which is also known as Whit
Sunday, which comes on the sew
enth Sunday and fiftieth day af-
ter Easter, observed as a festival
in commemoration of the Holy
Spirit at PenticOst. This fiftieth-
day celebration caused a great
deal of Standardization contro-
versy and discussion among our
people. The following is the quo
tation from the Bible about this
festival:
"And We shall count unto you
from the morrow of the Sabbath,
from the day that you have brought
the sheaf of the waving; seven
weeks shall there be complete;
even unto the morrow after the
seventh week shall We number
fifty days and We shall present a
new meal-offering to the Lord"
(Leviticus XIII: Is, 16). And
further:
also in the day of the first
fruits, when you bring a new
meal-offering unto the Lord in
your feast of weeks, we shall have
a holy convocation" plumbers
XVIII: 26).
In other words. here we find
how this ancient harvest festival
received its new Hebraic Shah
Outh meaning, which came as a
finale, grand completion of the
Pilgrim Holy Days which were
to commence again with SuccOth,
and later in our history with ROsh
HaShanah, which from civil hol-
iday became a religious one, thus
theading the year.
Religious Significance
Yet at first this holiday had no
raisOn d'etre, no religious signif-
icance. The other two festivals
also had national Importance
Passover commemorated the exo-
dus from Egypt, when we entered
into free nationhood; SuccOth, the
Feast of the Tabernacles, had it's
inner nationalistic meaning as
season of Thanksgiving. But
ShabOuth had no deeper meaning.
Thus, in order that this day
should neither be forgotten nor
eliminated from the cycle of the
Holy Days, the Revelation, the
Reception of the Ten Command
ments, the Birthday of the Law,
was attributed to have occurred
on this day. And as a matter of
fact, by reading carefully the part
of Exodus (XIX,XX) dealing with
this event, one can see that
ShabOuth really was the day most
suited for that glorious happen
ing to our people which took place
lin the third month after the
children of Israel were gone forth
out of the land of Egypt, the same
day lie, the first day of the third
month"; came they into the wilder
ness of Sinai"
And it is well that ShabOuth re-
ceived this sacred meaning, the
celebration of the Torah. It be-
came a sort of Constitution Day
with our people, the day marking
our receipt of our national consti-
tuition, which we have held proud
