The first day of the Hebrew
month is called "Rosh Hodesh"
which means the "head" or the
"beginning" of the month. In
olden times it was observed as
a sort of semi-festival. The Sho-
far was sounded and certain ad-
ditional sacrifices were offered
in the days of the temple. Today
it is marked with the recitation
of the "Haller prayers in the
synagogue morning service, a
special reading from the Holy
Scroll assigned to that day and
an additional service of Musaf,
an additional Psalm and a spe-
cial paragraph entitled "Yaale
Veyoweh," which is added to the
regular prayers three times dur-
ing the day as well as to the
Grace that is said after the
meals.
*
*
Aaron ben Joseph, the Levite,
in his famous "Sever Hachin-
uch", treats the observance of
Rosh Hodesh as a sign of re-
spect for the powers that exert
themselves in the life of the
human race by the behavior of
the moon. The moon affects
the growth of living things, the
course of the mariners at sea
and has many other influences
in human life. Thus, in respect
to the Almighty's providential in-
fluence invested in the moon,
the day upon which the moon
becomes what we call a "new
moon" is heralded as a signi-
ficant date.
The Hebrew month is never
complete in exact days. It is
the length of 29 days and a frac-
tion thereto. Naturally, dates
cannot be counted by hours .but
by days. Thus, to even the count,
some months are made to be 30
days while others are 29 days.
When a month is made to be .30
days, the 30th day is the day
upon which the new moon be-
gins to appear. Thus this day
is Rosh Hodesh, in addition to
the first day of the next month,
thus making two days as Rosh
Hodesh. When a month has 29
days, the following day is Rosh
Bodesh, in which case Rosh Ho--
desh is only one day. When two
days are regarded as Rosh Ho-
desh, the first is the day of the
appearance of the new while the
second is the day upon which
the counting of the days of the
next month begins.

the first organized Jewish com-
munity in this country.
Rabbi Gutstein performs a
creditable service with his re-
view of the religious, cultural,
social, economic and political
activities of the Jews of Chicago
in the last century.
The author deals with the peo-
ple and their institutions, with
the schools and synagogues, the
noted personalities and the
movement which influence their
lives.
Conflicts between East Euro-
pean and German Jews, the rise
of Zionism, the challenge of Re-
form, the trends of Jewish edu-
cational efforts and numerous
other communal developments
reflect the progressive stages in
tlye unfolding story of the larger
American Jewish community.
Making use of all„ available
records and documents, of con-
gregational histories and news-
papers, as well as of some fam-
ily records, Rabbi Gutstein has
produced a book that is truly, as
he calls it, an "epic" of the Chi-
cago Jewish community — an
epic of the immigrants who
settled there, of the institutions
they built, of the contributions
they made to American Jewish
life—reflecting the share of the
larger Jewish community in the
history of Americr..
Rabbi Gutstein's "A Priceless
Heritage" should encourage
other American Jewish commu-
nities to compile histories of
Jewries who make up America.
