THE
HEBREW-ENGLISH
CALENDAR
I his year’s Directory contains as
usual a Hehrew-English Calendar,
which has proven its worth as a
valuable appendix to this publica¬
tion, and which has become a ne¬
cessity in Jewish homes because of
its frequent use throughout the year.
J he calendar is printed upon suc¬
cessive pages, and enables one to
use this portion of the book as a
complete calendar (Luach).
I he Hebrew side of the calendar
contains the Hebrew names of the
festivals, holidays, and fast days.
I he weekly portion of the law to
be read each Saturday is indicated
in capital letters. A reminder to
light the Sabbath candles or ike
festival candles (L. C.) appears op¬
posite the proper days.
1 he English side of the calendar
contains the English names of ike
lesti vals and holidays and a calen¬
dar of the important events of the
various Jewish organizations meet¬
ing in the Center or holding their
affairs there. I his feature has been
found to be very valuable, giving
each organization an opportunity
to plan lor their respective under¬
lain ngs without conflicting with the
other organizations.
Below the calendar appear brief
explanations of the holidays and
special Sabbaths, and various other
explanatory notes concerning special
occasions and events.

6) Rosh Chodesh 1st Day
L. C.—Light Sabbath Candles or Festival Candles 'A hour before sunset, for
which consult daily newspapers.
1) Rosh Hashonah marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year and lasts
two days. It is also the beginning of the 10 days of Penitence, which end with Yom
Kippur. Sincere prayer and meditation during these days help us to experience
the reality of God to dedicate ourselves anew to the establishment of His Kingdom
on earth—the reign of freedom, justice and peace.
2) Shabbat Shuba derives its name from the Haftorah of that day. Hosea
xiv, 2-10 which begins with the word S'hubah-'Return’, i.e., Repent.
3) Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is a day of fasting and prayer, when we
strive to reawaken the latent spiritual power in our souls so that it may become
an effective and directing force in our daily conduct'.
4) Sukkos (Feast of Tabernacles) is the Jewish festival of thanksgiving after
all the products of the field have been gathered in. The Sukkah symbolizes '.he
wanderings of our ancestors in the wilderness of Sinai.
5) Simchath Torah (Rejoicing in the Torah) is the second day of Shemini
Azereth. Then the reading of the Pentateuch is completed and begun anew for the
coming year. This event is celebrated with Hakofos—procession with the scrolls
of the Torah to the accompaniment of songs and dancing.
6) Rosh Chodesh is the term for the beginning of a new month. As the
Jewish year is based on the lunar calendar, the beginning of the new month coin¬
cides with the new moon. When a month has thirty days, the last is considered the
first of the two days which constitute Rosh Chodesh of the month following.
