CLUB MEETS The year 56S5 from the creation of the world opens this year on September 2S at sunset. According to tradition, the Jewish religious era begins with the creation, and still follows the ancient lunar year, each month beginning with the new moon. The New Year festival Is thus strictly a religious cccasion, as the civil calendar is used by the Jews for all ordinary purposes.

The New Year is the first day of Tishri, the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar, the month of high holidays. This great religious occasion is the revival season among the Jews. On this day all the synagogs ore crowded with eager worshipers, eVen the most lax and indifferent coming to service at this time. The celebration of the New Year is kept for two days in orthodox congregations, and for one in the liberal synagogs. The custom in the orthodox synagog is to make a distinction between the Jews scattered all over the world, and those living in Palestine, who still observe the ancient DRIVE OFF COLDS most ancient times.

But this festival is not connected, as most Jewish celebrations are, with some great historic event. This festival of the New Year, however, has no such special memory. It Is a religious festival appealing to the Individual soul. It is known as the Day of Memorial and the Day of Judgment, each name typifying one of its central ideas. The Jewish New Year is a day for remembering the events of the past year, both national and personal; a day for the striking of a moral balance; day for turning over a new leaf and making new resolutions.

At the same time, it is realized that the sins of the past carry their punishment with them, and so the New Year is also a Day of Judgment, as the new course of life Implies always taking one's punishment for faults of tho past, and making amends to all whom one has wronged. In order to Impress upon the worshippers this double conception of memory and of reward and punishment the service of the New Year is a specially imposing one.
