sence significant of life and hope-
fulness. And strangely enough,
just as this Holy Day is conse-
crated to our Great Dead, and is
devoted to the solemn ritual of self
analysis, Rosh Ilashonah marks
many an integrating and optimis-
tic era in our history. For exam-
: pie, we are told that Rosh Ila-
shonah is considered to be the
birthday of our Patriarchs; that it
is the day on which Joseph was
freed from prison; and we are even
told that Rosh Ilpshonah marks
the anniversary of the creation of
man, and moreover it is the anni-
versary of the creation of the
world. In short, tradition pours
into this festival all the elemental
backgrounds of mankind, as well
as our very own history.
No ashes to carry out all winter long, and no soot to track up-
stairs— that's the cheerful sort of a winter that owners of gas-fired
furnaces face. The fuel trucks will never drive into their yards
again, and the carpenters are busy right now making the old fuel-
bin over into an airy, modern basement recreation room. In a few
weeks these owners will scratch a match—and let their Gas
Company tend the furnace for them until spring. Why can't your
home be listed among this happy company?
Gas-fired furnaces are completely automatic in operation and
control, and give the most dependable, healthful heat known.
The full facts on gas heating for your home — costs, upkeep, and
proven advantages over all other types of fuel—will be given you
free of charge or obligation. If you'd like to forget furnace tend-
ing forever, and have a more comfortable, better heated home—
get these facts today. Just calf your Gas Company.

'We are further told that later
Abuye ordered the Jews to eat on
Rosh Ilashonah pumpkins, dates,
beets, etc., because these grow
quickly, and in Arabic their names
mean plentiful. In this manner
the Jews for the past 2,000 years
have come to regard the belated
fruits of the season an omen of
good luck. The Jews designated
their reliance in the goodness of
God for the New fear by partak-
ing of grapes and honey and all
sorts of palatable dishes.
More than any other Holy Day
on the Jewish calendar Rush Ila-
shonah causes all Jews to rally to
th efold. It unites us all, old and
young, rich and poor, those whose
Judaism is known by others than
the known shadings and forms. If
we do not go to the synagogue to
pray, we go as we modern are
wont to express it, to hear the
Shofar, which is so impressive. If
we do not go to work because we
are religious, we take those days
"off," because our friends are not
going to work, and because of re-
spect to our elders. Be the season
as obvious as it may, or as individ-
ualistic and pagan as we wish it to
appear, we are swept by the deep
significance of Rosh Hashonah and
regaled by its festivity. For once
on the New Year the border lines )
of antagonism vanish; the various
forms of cleavage among the Jews
disappear; and what is still more
important, new hope rises in our,
hearts; new life springs in our'
veins; and again we take on cour-
age and strength to continue in a
cosmos which often reminds us
that it is regretful that Rosh Ha-
shonah conies only once a year,.
and that its significance is felt
only by the Jews.

NEW YEAR
By DR. LEO M. FRANKLIN
Rabbi, Temple Beth El.
To some extent history has been written for the
Jew in the year just closing in tears and in blood. But
there have been bright spots in the record and the
heart of the Jewish people need not be oppressed. It
is yet, I believe, too soon to say whether the Jewish
Agency will serve, as it was hoped it might, to concen-
trate Jewish opinion in regard to the rebuilding of
Palestine with no reference to nationalism or a politi-
cal state. Some of the leaders on both sides feel that
the Agency represents little more than a friendly
gesture. We dare be a bit more hopeful as to its pos-
sibilities..

By RABBI A. M. HERSHMAN
The prospects that open out to the House of Israel
at the dawn of the New Year are by no means alluring.
No serious minded Jew can contemplate the events in
the Jewish World (luring 5690 without echoing the cry
of anguiSh wrung from the bleeding heart of the
prophet for my sighs are many, and my heart is
faint." The present state of Israel and Judaism must
needs fill us with deep anxiety and apprehension. Yet
Rosh Hashonah with its cheering outlook upon life
bids us take heart and carry on our task with renewed
vigor and energy.
SUITE 1955 UNION TRUST BUILDING
SEPTEMBER 15th, 1930
The ills from which we are suffering has two
forms, the material and the moral, or spiritual. There
is, in the first place, the material misery which mil-
lions of our people endure, their untoward fate, the
disabilities under which they labor, the anomalous
and precarious position they occupy, their homeless-
ness and helplessness. These evils are beyond our
control. We may and should bend all our efforts to
reduce them; but it is not within our power to remove
them. With regard to these evils Rosh Hashonah
brings us the reassuring message of Malcheyoth, God's
Providence, that has guided and guarded our people
throughout the ages. What God was, lie is, what He
did, He does.
But there is also the moral (ir spiritual misery from
which Israel the world over suffers, the trials which
threaten to engulf our Jewish heritage. There is a
crisis in our Jewish life. The fortunes of Judaism are
at the lowest ebb. Our one preoccupation must be the
preservation of our Jewish soul. This task is within
the realm of our will. We are the masters of our
spiritual destiny. Rosh Hashonah summons us to
address ourselves to this supreme task.

CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SHAAREY
ZEDEK AN EVENT OF THE
PAST YEAR
By A. LOUIS GORDON
President, Congregation Shaarey Zedek
A new year brings 11 one hopes and new ambitions.
A new year makes you look into the future, but you
also delve into the past. That which you have ac-
complished becomes as nothing compared with that
which you propose to accomplish.
The Jews of Detroit may look backward with
pride upon a successful year. In that year a new edi-
fice devoted to the worship of the Almighty and the
study of His law has been erected. The new Shaarey
Zedek proudly opens its gates to its men, women,
boys and girls who have given of their time, their
efforts and of their wealth to make it possible.
Shaarey Zedek greets the New Year by again
opening its doors and resuming its place of worship
in Detroit.
May I humbly call your attention to the inscrip-
tion above the main entrance and just below the Ten
commandments carved in stone, "Blessed be he who
cometh in the name of the Lord," and it is my prayer
that this blessing shall descend on all who enter
Shaarey Zedek.
In the near future we hope to be able to complete
the structure upon which we have worked so long.
The task of building a new house of prayer has en-
nobled every one who has done anything to make our
synagogue a reality. The building provides the facili-
ties in which all the religious, education and social
activities can be conducted.
May the New Year be to the congregation of Israel
a year filled with peace, with good, with blessing, with
sustenance, a year marked by prosperity and honor.
