double holy days' observance Rosh Hoshana opens reverential season Rosh Hoshana the Jewrsh New Year began Wednesday at sunset And around the 'Mangle Jews gathered to welcome the high holy days a time for prayer and soul-searching The cycle of fasting reflection and prayer ends Sept 29 on Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement At Raleigh's Beth Meyer Synagogue members gathered to welcome the new year They recited words of faith and repentance "In religious terms this is the time that God judges us" said member Henry Schaffer "In more personal terms we're supposed to start reflecting on whether we're living the way we should" And it's a time to make amends he said "We have a teaching that says we cannot be forgiven by God for the bad things we do to people until we've gone to that person and made it right with them" Jews also ask God for strength during the high holy days During the service at Beth Meyer the congregation rose and recited in Hebrew Psalm 27 a psalm of David In English the psalm says in part "Hope in the Lord Be strong and let your heart take courage" At the end of the service Rabbi Daniel A Ornstein told the congregation "Let's wish each other a good and sweet a happy and a healthy new year" The members mingled in the sanctuary shaking hands and telling each other "good yontif" or good holiday Members of the congregation will return to the synagogue at 8:30 am today for a service that will last until about 1 pm Then they will return this evening They will repeat the schedule on Friday Dr Schaffer said he had taken time off from work to attend the services "This is the holiest time of the year for us" said Dr Schaffer an administrator at NC State University "It's like your Christmas and Easter all rolled into one" Rabbi Ornstein said the services were supposed to inspire repentance and spiritual renewal in Jews "They're supposed to leave here feeling like they're new" he said ERIN KELLY JOSEPH WHITLEY LOUISBURG Funeral service for Joseph Whitley 67 who died

Wake County hope to increase voter registration using a new list of county residents who have not registered to vote But Wake Commissioner Herbert Stout questioned the use of taxpayers' money to provide a computerized list of addresses so the political parties could target those people more easily "I think in the long run the question in my mind was whether we should spend government funds to identify for political parties persons who have not chosen to register to vote" Mr Stout said "I have some doubts about that I don't want govern City to buy land for use as parks Purchase includes Raleigh Beach area The Raleigh City Council voted Tuesday to buy the Raleigh Beach property on the Neuse River and a large tract off Leesville Road in northwest Raleigh for eventual development as
