of spirituality became sadly secu-
larized. Now that the grave re-
sponsibility has fallen upon him
will he be awakened from his err
ring ways and begin to under
stand the tasks before him. Rosh
Hashonah 57O6 asks this question.
There are some specific signs
of promise for the future. It is
hoped that out of the ashes of the
old world will arise a better
world. From the large centers of
Judaism there is evident a new
vitality. Jewish education is
coming into it's own. A new gen.
Grafton is arising with a true I'M
derstanding of Judaism and with
a finer sense of value. A rest
lessness is to be noted in all the
Jewish groups, Orthodox, Con-
sentative and Reform. This is an
index of the reawakening, of self
examination, of rededication,
which will bring a better world
into being.
Jewish men and women of the
smaller communities it is hoped
will begin to feel these influences
They will join in the creation Of
the new world. For this we shall
pray on New Years Day 57O6.

At present, the only shifting is
between the afternoon and the
