between God and Israel. In its origin the festival celebrates
the harvest season. Seven weeks are counted from the day
when the new barley was offered at the Ancient Temple in
jerusalem, and on the 5Oth day, the early wheat harvest was
dedicated to the Eternal. The authority for this sacred day
is written in the Bible.
Beautiful Confirmation Services are held on Shavuous in
temples and SYnagogues. Flowers and plants decorate the
pulpit and the young children offer the first fruits and
flowers Of the season before the open Ark of the Covenant.
The children who have completed their early religious edu-
cation pledge themselves to the principles of their faith.
Inc Rabbi charges the confirmands to prove worthy Of their
heritage by living in such a way as to be pleasing in both the
sight Of God and man.
Shavuous has deep significance to modern man. In the
age OF theological conflict, it brings a message of liberty under
law, and OF sympathy and understanding in human relations.
It urges the individual to rededicate himself to the ideals of
ms faith and to strive to bring about a better world for all
Mankind.

QUESTION: What is the "Poroches?" IA. t. BrooklynJ
ANSWER: The term "Poroches" is given to the curtain
that is suspended over the front of the Holy Ark in the Syna-
gogue. 1t too has it's origin in the structure of the Holy
Temple of old. Originally the "Poroches" was the name of
a fine curtain that hung in the Tabernacle of the desert days
which separated the section of the structure called the "Holy"
from the innermost compartment known as the "Holy of
Holes" 1t was in the latter compartment that the Holy Ark
bearing the two tablets were kept. Actually the term
meaning "to break" or, figuratively speaking, to separate"

including Is stakes.
Earnings of the horses, and sale
of the ranch, breeding stock and
2-year-olds totaled approximately
81, 100000. Out of that, of course
came costs of operating.
The dispersal sales in the last two
years brought in about 100000
Stepfather alone brought Mayer
$2O0, 900. Horses which carried Mayer
colors included Stepfather. On Trust
Honeymoon, Busher, Thumbs Up
Solidarity and many others.
In developing the greatest racing
and breeding enterprise in Cal
