The couple oh their way to the early Saturday matinee saw some traffic at the Fidelity Savings Bank in Palo Alto, Calif. "Looks like they've got expanded hours, dear. Why don't we go in and deposit that check." But as they approached the bank they were sur- prised to see a most uncom- mercial tableau. The potted palm was tucked behind an Ark of the Law, the standards proclaiming this week's _treasury bill rates were draped with a flowered mechitza, and loan officers' chairs were placed side-by- side with the chairs of loan applicants. Some 70 persons were gathered for the Stan- ford Hillel Orthodox serv- ice, popularly known as the bank minyan. Five years ago a group of We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year MR. and MRS. JERRY GOLDMAN, FHILLIP & ERIK Simi Valley, Calif. 11ZtIZTI ;1211, ri3V51 Stanford students who had been conducting a "float- ing" service in various homes. joined forces with local Jews. They ap- proached Fidelity with a re- quest for the use of the bank's community room on Saturdays. The minyan grew out of that room, tak- ing up all of the available floor space, and in fact, has had to move the locale of its post-service kidush to the Glendale Federal Bank next door. Friday night services were also insti- tuted this year. Anyone who shows up three weeks in a row is pretty much acknowl- edged as a member. Any- one who attends at any time has to move some furniture around, and such participation itself encourages a sense of be- longing. Students, singles and young couples predominate in the minyan, giving it an energetic aura. Stanford professors and Israeli graduate students also lend flavor. A majority of the congregants are newcomers to traditional Judaism, ask- ing the tough questions of religion, demanding intel- lectual and emotional satis- faction after long odysseys in many Jewish corn- munities. The woman's role in the Orthodox synagogue has presented a special chal- lenge. The sexes are seated separately during services and women are not called up to the Torah. Yet pains are taken to arrange the seat- ing so that the service is equally visible and audible to both men and women. Women also take advantage of free access to the pulpit and often deliver the. ser- mon. The social highlight of the service is the kidush, where good-natured banter is exchanged over good food.

In 5741, the shekel, an an- cient biblical term, will be- come Israel's official cur- rency. An ancient monetary unit, it is with shekels that the patriarch Abraham bought the cave of the Machpelah at Hebron, where he is buried, along with Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Rebecca and Leah.

During the war be- tvveen the Romans and the Jews (66-70 CE), money was minted as a sign of political independence, and once again it was the shekel. Ratified by a decree of the Knesset in 1979, the shekel has been legal tender since Feb. 24, 1980, with a transition period of three months to allow the replacement of all coins and notes. A shekel is equal to ten lirot. Every shekel will be divided into 100 agurot. Notes of 1, 5, 10 and 50 shekels will be in circula- tion, and coins of 1, 5, 10 and 50 agurot. to all our family and -dear friends MRS.

Others contend that the circular shape would signify the omnipresence of the Almighty who would there- fore always be with us and never leave us. (Copyright 1980, JTA, Inc.) The hallot on Rosh Hashana are made in a round form unlike the hal- lot of the rest of the year which are elongated. Some consider this dif- ference in shape to be a symbol of continuity and eternity like the line of the continuous circle. The implication would be that this is a wish and a symbol for continuity into the coming year which would indicate a continued life instead of the end of a At u h4 a Ai Anarchy is the choking, sweltering, deadly, and kil- ling rule of no rule; the con- secration of cupidity and braying of folly and dim stupidity and • baseness, in most of the affairs of men. — Carlyle N 11(11• coming :rear in , otir' lic(t1111. 1)( ,(1(•(> (111(1 for all Ilt(tlikind Jennie and Sol King
