SECRETARY
To the Jewish People of Detroit and Michigan:
lish Ambassador to France, on whose
estate they have lived over a century,
says a Lublin report.
The eviction was evidently the last
thing the residents expected, the shock
teeing aggravated by the harshness of
the order calling for departure of the
Jewish tenants within one hour and
liquidation of their property at ridi-
culous prices.
The tenants are said to have sought
to communicate with Warsaw I 1r Lem.
berg but found that the telegraph and
telephone wires had been cut. The
Count's officials proceeded to demolish
the houses and shops, the work of de-
struction going on under the owner's
eyes. Women, aged and children
pleaded hysterically in vain. In a few
hours, heaps of ruins marked the sites
where hie Jewish shops and homes
had been.
The report adds that police witnes-
sed the destruction of the settlement.
Detroit extends greetings to you on your Rosh ha-Sha-
nah. It has been Detroit's great pleasure to have probably
the largest diversity of various nationalities and creeds of
any city in the country, and among them we are proud to
say there is no nationality or creed whose people are more
Law-abiding and 'valued citizens than your people.
We wish for you every success and happiness on the
beginning of your new year.
Congratulations
Cordially yours,
Mayor.
THE SHOFAR
By RABBI E. AISHISKIN
The four tones produced by the Shofar on Rosh ha-
Shanah are designated respectively as Tekiah, Shevarim,
Teruah, Tekiah. Tekiah is an even tone, expressing joy,
the holiday spirit. Shevarim sounds like a deep sigh, while
Teruah reminds us very much of weeping.
These variws voices of the Shofar are like unto the
past, the presM11. and the future of the Jew. In the past,
when the Jew dwelt on his own soil, the effect of his voice
on the world was that of rejoicing, of good tidings—the
Tekiah. At the present time the Jew is sighing and crying
over the terrible pogroms, over the rivers of innocent blood
shed and the streams of tears. His voice is like unto the
Shevarim and the Teruah. But in the future, when the
ancient hopes of the Jew will have been realized, his voice
will again, as of old, come forth on an equal footing with
all the nations of the earth, a voice of joyousness, a Tekiah.
The recent ratification of the British Mandate over
Palestine is the first great step towards the rehabilitation
of our national home.
A voice like that of the Shofar is now heard every-
where, calling for a Jewish world congress to help the
rebuilding of an old-new land.
There are, of course, our enemies, who call for con-
ferences of their own, in order to thwart our purposes and
frustrate our aims.
The Shofar is not made of the horn of the bull, which
is an aggressive beast, but of the horn of a rant, a peaceful
domestic animal. Thus the voice of the Jew proclaims
peace and brotherliness. With "charity for all and malice
toward none," it simply calls for the rebuilding of our
historic land and the re-establishment of our great culture.

The significance of Rosh ha-Shanah has so little in corn-
mon with the historical background of all the Jewish holi-
days as to make all attempts at comparison well nigh im-
possible. Pesach, Shevuoth, Succoth, all commemorate
some past event in the history of the Jewish people.
Rosh ha-Shanah, on the other hand, commemorates no
definite happening, but is a holiday of the future. Thus
we note that while all holidays are called "Yomin Tivim,"
happy days, Rosh ha-Shanah and Yom Kippur are called
"Yomin Ne-Roim," days of fear. Especially for the ever
downtrodden and oppressed Jew does the future hold forth
a prospect of fear and darkness. In connection with this,
the wise of the Talmud point out as one of the characteris-
tics of Rosh ha-Shanah that its celebration falls at the very
beginning of the Month, while all other holidays take place
in the middle of the month. The fact that Rosh ha-Shanah
falls at this period causes it to be called "Eis Chag sheb-
'1,vono Miskase bo," the holiday in which the moon is dark
and covered.
Another outstanding characteristic of the holiday of
the future is the remarkable coincidence between the con-
dition of the moon at this period of the year and the plight
of the Jew. The burdens of the Jew at times assume im-
mense proportions and cause him to feel as though his
sufferings will never end. Within a short period after his
troubles reach a climax, they commence to grow less and
less, until they finally assume normal proportions. The
moon at this period is dark for so long an interval that it
seems as though it would never come out from its hiding
place. - Suddenly it appears as bright as ever, quite akin to
the manner in which the dark cloud of Jewish oppression
is almost immediately replaced by the silver lining of hope
and optimism.
A comparison can also be drawn between various con-
ditions of the moon in different parts of the globe and the
different conditions of the Jew in various parts of the
world. In one portion of the globe, the moon, being re-
flected upon by the rays of the sun, is very bright, while
in another the moon is dark and covered. And so the
Jew, oppressed and downtrodden in one country, enjoys
complete liberation in another. •
There are numberless other characteristics involved in
Rosh ha-Shanah's history, but its primary purpose is to
create a desire in the hearts of all Jewry to regard more
seriously their religion, their Torah, their Creator.
Rosh ha-Shanah, appealing to the Jews in clamorous
tones, says: "You need not be afraid of the future if you
will regard more seriously your Creator. You need not
lose hope or courage if you are now oppressed, for your
anxieties will soon cease to exist ; and if you will permit
nothing to come between you and your religion, your sor-
rows will be no more."

ernment its judicial status, the Chief
Rabbinate is under the supervision of
two Councils, the Medjliss Oumoumi
and the Medjliss Djismani. Recently,
however, these two Councils were re-
placed by an Administrative Council
elected by an "assembler Constituan-
te" without obtaining previously the
authorization of the Turkish govern-
', meat. A few days ago Chief Rabbi
liejarani was asked to attend at the
Ministry of Justice and Religious
fairs. The minister then informed
him that the Government insisted that
the laws should be respected. A let-
ter of censure would have been ad-
dressed to the Chief Rabbinate were
it not for the great esteem in which
Chief Rabbi Flejarano is held by the
government. If it were desired to in-
troduce any modifications into the Ha-
ham Hone Nizamessi, the government
would be glad to consider the matter
in consultation with the Chief Rabbi-
, nate. Until this was done, however,
the government could not recognize
the Administrative Council elected by
the "Assembles Constituante." The
I Chief Rabbinate could form an admin-
istrative commission of eight to ten
persons until matters were returned
to their legal form, but the commis-
sion would be subject to the approva l
A of the government.
