Jews begin celebration of New Year
By BRYANT GRIGGS Staff Writer
"On Rosh Hashannah Day all that comes into the world passes before God like flock of sheep. However, final judgment is not done in his purport, the Day of Atonement." —TORAH
That's the spiritual significance of Rosh
Nacham, Jewish New Year, which
brings me joy.
Jews all over the world will celebrate the first two days of the New Year, beginning a 10-day repentance, which ends on Yom Kipur. Oct. 3.
The New Year, 5737, commemorates the first day of the creation of the world.
When Rosh Hashanah falls on a Sabbath, as it does this year, it is customary to sound the shofar, the ram's horn, which symbolizes God's guidance and guidance to a nurser, untroubled future.
THE BLOWING OF the shofar, along with
the 10 days of repentance, is the highlight of
Midday Prayer.
The blowing of the shofar will be Sunday night. In Lawrence, this will be done at the end of 7:30 p.m. services at the Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive.
During the 10-day period, known as the "Ten Days of Turning," it is customary to forgive others and ask for forgiveness of you may have committed sinful deeds nailed.
ROGER EISENBERG, Rockville, Md,
ROGEN, said yesterday,"After you have
asked for forgiveness from your fellow
men, can you ask for forgiveness
from God."
Loretta Goodman, Boston freshman, said, "After you've asked forgiveness from past deeds, can then work on how to become a better person in the future."
She said the coming holidays were a time for both festivities and introspection.
On the first day of Rosh Hashanah, it is customary to recite special penitential prayers called Tashish, meaning to cast away.
ON THE SECOND night of Rosh Hashanah, it is customary to recite the Shechechiyamu. When a fruit should be eaten, the Jew will recite. Shechechiyamu is a prayer that asks all Jews be remembered and the Book of Life for a happy life and for peace.
The day after Rosh Hashanah, the third day of the month or Tishri on the Jewish calendar, has been set aside by the prophets as a day of fasting.
The fast of Gedalah, as it is called, marks the beginning of Jewish harvest. However, the
Huge feasts also are traditional during the holiday period.

Now and then we all deserve one. It needn't be a celebration of any magnitude. Just once in a while treat yourself to Crown Center. It's very special, too. An elegant, leisurely lunch at the American Restaurant, for example. Or a shopping spree in West Village (not expensive, we might add). Maybe some special international food and a few moments of "people watching." It's always rewarding to come to Crown Center. Especially when you deserve it.
