"What!" exclaimed the Irish
man, "Don't tell me Roosevel t
has changed the time of New
Year's Day too."
The Jewish New Year, a
Emma Lazarus wrote, comes a t
the time
When orchards burn their
lamps of fiery gold
The grape grows like a jewel
and the corn
A sea of beauty and abun-
dance lies.

We Jews are a little different
about our New Years. We doti't
blow horns just to make a loud
noise. We blow the shofar or
ram's horn to quiet our soul. We
eat a little honey, so it should be
sweet for the New Year. Our
Challa.h on the table is round so
the New Year may be rounded
and balanced.
When I was a little boy, papa
always took us to the Turkish
bath to get cleaned up properly
for the New Year. The men
would pour buckets of hot water
on themselveS and then switch
themselves with bundles of hard
straw to make the blood rise to
the surface and stir the circu-
lation. We used to come out
looking like red beets and with
more circulation • than a Hearst
paper. Then they would don
their best clothes and go to
synagogue. New Year's Day was
the time the cantor gave his best
performance. Going to . syna-
gogue was in some ways like
going to a concert. The cantor
in 'our synagogue, when I was a
boy, came from a small Russian
town and had no professional
musical education, but I found
he had devised his own system
of musical notation. I got hold
of his notes and discovered his
"system." For "En Kelohenu" he
had written down,
3 times bim barn
4 times to ra ra
2 times tim tam tam
10 times oi, oi, oi.
For Olenu, his notes read:
4 times tee ree ree
1 long a ha ha
1 long ooi
12 times oi weh.
You see, it is quite a workable
system.

A policeman always stood in
front of the synagogue on Rosh
Hashanah. They don't do that
any more. Just why he was
needed then, I don't know. Of
course, the story had it that if
anybody tried to get in without
a ticket and do some free pray-
ing, the cop would get him. But
this, I never believed. I used to
feel a little sorry for the police-
man standing outside. He missed
so much good davening.
After the services, we would
go home and eat our zimmes and
all the other good things. I
would eat so much that mama
would have to change the but-
tons around the waist line of my
new suit.

After dinner, papa would say,
"Come boys, to the river." We
would go to the river to cast in
our sins. I could always see the
bubbles rising in the water
where I tossed my, sins. I was
always glad that I had done a
little sinning during the year,
so I had something to throw in.
My older brother used to say; "I
threw in a bigger load than
you." I would say, "No, mine was
bigger." It seemed to me then
that if all the people in the
world would, like the Jews,
throw their sins into the river
instead of being loaded down
with them, this would be a bet-
ter world. , -
We would come back from the
river and papa would lay down
for a little nap. When he awoke,
we would go back to the syna-
gogue. On Rosh Hashanah, was
a double feature.
