brew New Year. is dedicated to
special supplications. and peni-
tential prayers are recited in the
synagogue.
On the first day of Elul, at the
end of the morning services, there
begins the blowing of the Shofar.
The Shofar blasts at the conclu-
sion of each mornings service
signifies that the season of peni-
tence is near. The prayers in the
synagogue are said with deeper
fervor. There are extra Psalms to
be recited. Pious Jews put in
more time studying the holy
books.
The solemnitY of the month of
Elul is evident especially in the
cemeteries where visits are made
to the graves of relatives and
loved ones. Visiting the cemeter-
les and praying before the graves
during crises goes back for CEN
turtles. In Chassidic communities
it was the custom to visit the
graves of Chassidic rabbis and
leave slips of papers upon which
were penned petitions and re-
quests.

Generally, the attitude has been
that the prayers expressed at the
graves of righteous ancestors
would serve as intercession on
the theory that "Z'Chut Avot,"
the Merits of the Fathers help
their descendants.
These visits to the cemeteries
and praying to the dead have be-
come so popular in modern times
that a special liturgical collection
has been created and is known as
"Ma'aneh Lashon." the Answer
of the Tongue. The name of the
booklet is based on the verse in
Proverbs 1851: THE preparations
of the heart are mans but the
answer of the tongue is from the
Lord"
A product of the seventeenth
century, the "Ma'aneh Lashon"
has appeared in many editions in
the past three hundred years, in
Guiding German, Yiddish and
English translations. A sequel to
the "Ma'avar Yabok," which is a

The month of Elul is climaxed
with series of Slichot or Suppl

the Sunday preceding Rosh Hash

held on Saturday at midnight be-
fore Rosh Hashonah. After that
the services are held early each
