Yom Kippur—the
Day of Atonement
On Sunday evening, October 13,
1929, the Jewish people will begin its
celebration of the Day of Atonement,
known in Hebrew as “Yom Kippur,”
with most solemn religious services.
The services will open with the tradi
tional melody of Kol Nidre which will
mark the beginning of the most sacred
and solemn day of the Hebrew calen
dar. The entire day is observed by
all Jews with grave concern; it is de
voted to fasting, prayer, meditation,
repentance, and forgiveness. This
Holy Day, therefore, carries an inval
uable religious message to mankind
at large, as well as to the Jewish
people.
In the days of the Temple, an elab
orate sacrifical ritual constituted the
chief form of observance of the Day
of Atonement. The people filled the
Temple courts. The High Priest came
before the altar garbed in his priestly
dress. At first he uttered a confession
of his own sins and the sins of his
household and prayed for pardon and
remission; then he cited a confession
of the sons of the priesthood and beg
ged forgiveness; finally he read a con
fession of the sins of the entire Jew
ish people and invoked the God of
Justice and Mercy for forgiveness.
This ceremony impressed the people
and filled them with awe and rever
ence; its purpose was to bring them
to a state of repentance and atone
ment.
With the disappearance of the Racn .
fical ritual from Jewish life, the D •
of Atonement rose in sacredness ami
holiness. Prayers came to substitute
the sacrificial offerings; meditation*
took the place of the confession maH*
by the High Priest of old. Repentant
and contrition, reconciliation and f or
giveness came to be emphasized more
and more by the Rabbis. According to
Jewish tradition, the Day of Atone
ment marked the day upon which G<*j
sealed the final decree of every crea
ture of the world who had passed be-
fore Him in judgment on New Years
Day. It was therefore set aside as a
day of fasting and special prayers
and supplications. This idea constitut
ed the keynote of the Day of Atone
ment throughout the Middle Age.
Whatever the message of the Day
of Atonement in ages past, today it
stands in Jewish life as a day of the
soul sanctification. The idea of ret
rospection and introspection which
permeate the liturgy of this Holy Day
brings man to contemplate his pur
pose in life and to meditate on the
values of Judaism which serve to
sanctify and ennoble human life.
Meetings of Commission Will Not Be
Public, But Commiques Will Be Issued
British Parliamentary Commission Of
Inquiry Hords Meeting in London
Before Sailing for Palestine
Commission are necessarily confined
to an inquiry into the immediate
causes of the recent outbreak, it is
stated that at a later stage of its
work, the Commission will also inquire
into the wider aspects of the problem,
occupying itself with the broader rea
sons for the recent outbreak.
In London official circles, it is reit
erated that in any case the British
government w’ill enforce and uphold
the terms of the Balfour Declaration,
there being no queston of any retreat
from that position.
The recent press rumors concerning
England’s intention to give up the
Palestine Mandate or permit its re
version to Italy, the United States or
Poland are regarded as gossip which
is unfounded and absurd.
London (J. T. A.)—The British Par
liamentary Commission of Inquiry,
appointed by the Colonial Office to
investigate the causes of the recent
outbreak in Palestine, held a meeting
here on Monday prior to its departure
for Palestine on October 3.
The diplomatic correspondent of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency under
stands that the meeting was confined
to a consideration of the question of
procedure and that questions of policy
were not dealt with. It appears that
the question of procedure is consider
ed sufficiently intricate and it is stat
ed that the Commission decided that
the British officials in Palestine first
collect the evidence which will be
placed before the Commission on its
arrival. \\ hen the Commission will
start functioning in Palestine, evi
dence will again be taken from both
Jewish and Arab sources. The prelimi
nary’ collecting of evidence was found
necessary in order to secure first hand
information as near the date of oc
curence as possible. The meetings of
the Commission will not be public, but
communiques will be issued from time
to time, it being anticipated that the
Commission will make declarations
while still in Palestine.
