Jewish residents of Anderson are preparing to observe the close of the 667th year of the Hebrew calendar, Hosji Rashanali, the Hebrew New Year, will be celebrated this year Sep tember 10, Yom Klppur, the day of atonement, will be observed. Jews all ovor the world observe these holy days. Hosh Ilasiianah Is one of tho most solemn feasts of the Hebrew religion. In tho Jewish tradition, the Rosh IHashanah marks tho anniversary of the creation of the world, supposed to have taken place 5,676 years ago. Tho present Rosh Hnshatmb, there fore, will mark tho beginning of the year 5G76. Its Purpose to House Israel. The change of date, however. Is of little or no Importance, and if tho Jewish New Year's Day had no further significance, its appeal to the Jew would be very faint Indeed. It is not the change of year, but the change of life, that this day stresses, that mikes It stand out as one of tho holiest days in tho Jewish calendar. Herein it radically differs from the civil New Year; it is a day sot apart for Intros pection and self-cxamlnation. The sacred character of this day is Implied in the two other names by which It is known, viz, the day of memorial and tho day of the blowing of the trumpets. In the first place it is the day of memorial, or remem brance. As such, it calls upon the Jew to remember the divine purpose of his life; secondly, it is the day of tho blowing of the trumpets. Its pur pose is to rouse Israel from his-Self - .complacency and stir him to high re solves and nobler deeds. Day of Atonement. The Rosh Hashanah derives Its sig nificance from the fact that it is but the introduction to the day of atone ment which follows ten days later. "Before one can realize the need or atonement." nays a statement, "it is necessary that he become conscious of his shortcomings; for so long 'as we Imagine ourselves whole. It may never occur to us that we need a phy sician; so long as we do not admit our plnfulness, we shall hardly feel the need of being forgiven. "Hence, to make the atonement pos I sible. we must have Rosh Hashansh, which is also designated as the Yom I Hadin?the-day ?' Judgment?the d?y whereon wo weigh ourselves In the balance, and perforce, find ourselves wanting; for there is no righteous man upon earth that doeth good al ways and slnneth not."' Tho essential ceremony of the ser vices in the Synagogue on Posh Ha shanah is the blowing of the trumnet, in nccordanco with the injunction In I^eviticus 23:24, which reads: "In tho seventh month, on the first day of the month shall ye have a Sabbath, a me morial of blowing of trumpets, and holy convocation."
