• 78—THE JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 19, 1952 Miriam's Stories for Our ]Boys (An AJ P Feature? Hello Boys and Girls: Tonight is the night to say it—"Happy New Year." Of course you know that the Jewish New Year, while it is a happy holiday, is also a very serious time. We spend many hours in the synagogue, praying for God's forgiveness for any wrongs we may have done during the past year, and praying for help in being good and kind to all peo- ple during the coming twelve months. When you go to the synagogue this weekend—either with your parents or to a special children's service, you will pray, and sing, and you will hear the shrill sound of the Shofar . . . a * * The Bimah was decorated with flowers and greens, and the pul- pit had on a beautiful velvet cover. On it lay the prayerbook, open to the services of the High Holy Days, and the Torah, clad New Year Greetings New Year Greetings Great Lakes Iron & Metal Co.

The rabbi and the cantor had come down from the Bimah to Grandpa's seat in Specializing in Cold Waves the - front row. They escorted and Permanents him up the steps, to his place 10521 W. SEVEN MILE ROAD before the altar. How impressive Grandpa looked, with the snowy UN. 3-4935 folds, of his tallis draped over his head and shoulders!

The Shofar, he knew, is made from Grand River Auto the horn of a clean animal, most Replacement Parts, often a ram.

Then the congregation recited a psalm, a poem telling how the Shofar would someday Holiday Greetings proclaim God's rule all over the world. While the people repeated the words of the Psalm, Danny thought about the Shofar. He remembered how the horn was used, in ancient days, to remind Prescription Specialists people of the coming of the new 2545 Woodward moon, of the beginning of the Sabbath and the festivals. It WO. 1-6334 was sounded when the children State Liquor Distributors of Israel received the Ten Corn- mandments at Mount Sinai.

Grand- pa stepped forward. Reverently, WO. 1-5152 he recited the Hebrew blessings, then fitted the Shofar to his lips. Danny held his breath. He New Year Greetings had watched Grandpa practice at home, and he knew how diffi- cult it was to make the right sounds come forth at the right time. But he didn't need to worry this day.

And • again, Tekiah! the deep note, Three times, the series was blown, then Grandpa took a Holiday Greetings deep breath.
