I Rosh Hashanah, with the poslsble hcepllon of Yom Klppur, the day of ppentance, is the most Important of He h iliriays of the Jewish people. U l.» He first day of the religious year and at (be same lime the day on which all the (eeple of the world are supposed tr piss before the Creator for Judgment. Strange as It may seem at first, New Tear's Pay does not Come In the first B'lnth. hut In the seventh. The first calendar month Is Nissan. The first if .Nissan ts the first of the year. In Hat It marks the deliverance of the Jews from bondage In Egypt under the cr-j-1 Pharaoh. It corresponds more closely with America's Fourth of July than w ith January 1, except that while the Fourth of July and the first of Nit- tan arc both civic holidays, with Amer ica the former is observed purely as civic, while with the Jews the latter Is observed ns a religious holiday. The first day of Tlshrl, the seventh month, is called New Year's Day and the year Is really dated from this day tenuse It Is supposed to represent the tr(lnnlng of the harvest, and nearly ill the old holidays were, more or less, brlrultural. Rosh Hashanah corrc- ■pomls with the first of January with the difference that the-former la made i religious holiday for the Jews while the litter Is purely secular. On Rosh Hashanah, according, to the Jewish belief, the people of the world |c*s in Judgment, but on Yom Klppur, Be lays thereafter, they offer repent- for their sins. This day is set lible for penitence and prayer, and luring its progress no Jew partakes of Invthlng to eat or drink. Rosh Hashanah, New Year’s Day, Is the feast of the beginning of the harv- Succnth, which follows twenty- one days thereafter. Is the feast of tho gathering of the harvest. year thnt will begin on Sunday »( sunset—all Jewish holidays date from sunset to sunset—Is 5.868. The Jewish people of the world are generally considered a nappy people, except la those countries where they •re persecuted beyend the possibility tf being happy,.

Services will be held at all the Jew ish synagogues In Atlanta, both re form and orthodox, on Sunday evening end Monday morning.
