Jews take time out to observe holiday
By BRIAN BARESCH
Staff writer
Today is the first day in the year 5748 on the Jewish calendar, and about 1,500 Jewish students on campus are observing Rosh Hoshanah, the first of 10 days leading up to the Day of Atonement.
Many students and faculty are not coming to class today, too, in accordance with KU regulations regarding religious holidays.
Forty-six students attended Hiliel House's dinner and services last night, according to Daveen Litwin, director of the house, which is a communal living group for eight Jewish students at 940 Mississippi St.
Hillel House provides educational, social and cultural activities, projects and services as well as a place for worship. It also serves for religious services. Lwalin said.
During these holidays, Litwin said, Jews ask forgiveness of people around them and of God for things done wrong during the year, and they also attempt to return to their roots and begin again.
"We contemplate what we have been and think about what we want to be in the year to come," she said. "It's a very life-affirming holiday."
The Hillel feast included Jewish egg bread, cooked in a ring instead of the traditional braided shape. That tradition symbolizes the life of Israel, without beginning or end.
Another traditional food is apples dipped in honey. The honey symbolizes the sweetness of good life, as do

An important part of Blow Hoshanah services is the blowing of the shofar, or ram's horn. The horn was blown in ancient times to communicate that something important, such as a call for warfare, was taking place. Now it is symbolic.

The horn blowing, as well as candles and prayer, will be among the activities rounding out the Rosh Hashanah celebrations at the Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive.
Yom Kippur marks the second time Moses descended from Mount Sinai, a month and 10 days after he climbed there to ask atentement from God for the Israelites' worshiping of a golden calf.
Yom Kippur on Oct. 3 will mark the end of the days of atonement. Jews traditionally fast all day to observe the holiday.
Lori Kagan, Chicago senior, said she had to reschedule a test because of the holiday. Her instructor was standing at first, she said, but then relented.
University regulations allow students whose tests fall on religious holidays to reschedule the tests. Carol Prentice, assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the same rights applied to faculty.
Sabrina Oppenheimer, Bnei-Brak,
Israel, graduate student, said the
Hebrew 110 class she taught would
not meet because most of her students were not planning to attend anyway.
