Rosh Hashanah, too, we are told,
that God heard the plea of the
barren Sara for a son and at that
time, the lame were made to walk,
the deaf to hear and the blind to
see. 1t is in these stories that we
find the true spirit of Judaism,
better perhaps than in the formal
credes, as they stand clad in the
raiments of poetry.
To the Rabbi, the pulpit of
Rosh Hashanah offered the SUI
preme opportunity. The most dra
matte stories of the Jewish pulpit
are associated with the High Holy
Days. We like to recall how the
famous Rabbi of Berdichev arose
in his pulpit and Numbered to God
that unless He, God, bestowed
good year on the Jews, that he,
Reb Isaac Leib of Berdichev,
would brand the phylacteries
which God wore as not kosher"
The old Jews felt so close to God
that they INDUCED in the fancy
that God Himself also prayed and
donned phylacteries. They felt so
close to their Father in Heaven
that they could even rebuke Him
at times as loving child might
on occasion chide his parent.
Man, on Rosh Hashanah, beat
his breast and confessed his sins.
Have you ever looked at the trans

which we confess at this time?

The Virginia Supreme Court of

that the law is unconstitutional.
The appeals court has granted a

Members of the old board, who
had been appointed before the new
