Normally we depend on the
five senses to determine the worth
of anything. whether it is the beau

voices, the taste of god food. the
smell of good coffee on frosty
morning, or the feel of a silver
coin in the hand of a hungry beg
gar. All our experiences are rela-
tive and approach reality in pro-
portion to the impression made
upon the mind Our reaction to
such impressions determines the
worth and affords either pleasure
or discomfort. Many experiences
we cherish are transient and seem
more as a dream. The real test
of reality is the depth and endur-
ance of any experience and the

official announcement and those
who did not have calendars or
who had them but didn't look at
them would lose track of the day
of the new moon and forget to
observe it as the semi-festival
which it once was.
Consequently, it became Gus
tom to announce in the syna-
gogue the day, upon the Sabbath
preceding the appearance of the
new moon. This simple proclama-
ton is still in the group of pray
ers and forms the essence of the
liturgy. AS a matter of fact the
sexton still announces the exact
hour that the new moon will ap-
pear.
Later on, prayers were placed
before and after the proclama-
ton. The Ashkenazic and the
Sephardic congregations both Sc
lected prayers from the daily
liturgy for an introduction to the
announcement, although each Sc
lected a different prayer. 1t SEEM
ed to have been the intention Of
both that since the new moon
was to be announced, it be an
nounced with a prayer SO that it
would bring good tidings in it's
wake. The motive was obvious.
All matters of the synagogue
were made musical and attractive
to enhance the service. Thus the
scroll is read with musical notes.
What made the entire ceremony
popular, of course, seems to be
the fact that the cantors of those
days composed impressive music
for the Introductory prayers and
as with so many of our prayers,
the melodies made the prayers
popular. Be that it may, it is an
indication that even the passing
of time was to be sanctified in
Jewish life as an act of the AL
mighty.

ed in the early sources such as
the Bible and the Talmud, be-
cause in those days the appear
ance of the new moon was dis
covered by sending messengers
to a hilltop to observe the moon
as it first began to appear. Thus
it was impossible to determine
on the Sabbath before just when
the New Moon would show itself.
After the calendar system was
developed, the reckoning of the
new moons appearance became
mechanical and accurate. The
Sanhedrin or the Beth Din then
had no reason to announce it
publicly as it had done previous
~. This left the people without
