JEWISH HOLIDAY
BEGINS NEXT WEEK
Kosh Hashanah to Be Observed
With Special Services at
Beth Ahabah.
The Jewish New Yeur. or Rcsh
Hashanah. lalls this y.ar on Thurs?
day. September 12. Llk< all Jewish
holldaya It Is reckoned fron? evening
to evening, and its initial service will
bi held on the evening of September
11. While, owing to the variance be?
tween the solar and lunar s\stems of
calendatlon, it may appear to occur Ir?
regularly, it Is definitely set in the
Jewish calendar as the ft: si day of the
seventh month, Ttshrl.
It is not known scrtpturally as the
New Vear. In the Scriptures It Is
termed the "Day of the Memorial of
the mowing of the Trumpet" (Leviti?
cus XXJIl-lM). or simply, as the "Day
of the mowing of the Trumpet" (Num?
bers XXIX-1).
The nature of the fetlval is what Its
name signifies. I. e. a marketing of the
passage of time and'a monition of the
uncertain tenure Of human life. It
does not commemorate any historical
Incident. Nor docs it make it appeal
to the racial consciousness of the Jc-ws.
Us appeal Is entirely to the present
and to the Individual conscience. It is
thoroughly uniyersaltatic and can be
responded to by all religionists of
whatever creed.
The day Is observed seriously and
solemnly. It emphasizes the sense of
Divine guidance, and, at the same time,
of human responsibility. The blowing
of the trumpet, the Shofar or ram's
horn, Is the peculiar service of the day.
It Is the bugle-call of the Spirit, arous?
ing the conscience In the contempla?
tion ef misspent hours, and awakening
the Impulse to make the new, coming
year more fruitful of .-'Mo end un?
selfish action.
The observance of the dr.y is com?
plete alike by both the reform ami
othodox wings of the Bynagog. Offices
and business houses are closed and the
house of prayer is thronged with
worshippers.
At Beth Ahabah Synagogue the ser?
vices will begin on Wednesday even?
ing at 6:3d o'clock, and on Thursday
morning at 10:l? o'clock. Dr. E, N.
Cnllsch Will conduct both services and
preach at both, the sermon subject for
Wednesday evening Will be ?'Judgment
Days." and for Thursday morning. "The
Gad of Israel To-Day."
