Rosh Hashanah shares with the Day of Atonement, which occurs ten days later, the distinction of being one of the most solemn and inspiring holy days of the synagogue. Its biblical basis is found in Leviticus 23-24: 'In the seventh month( of the Hebrew cal- endar) on the first day of the month, shall be solemn rest unto you, a mem- orial proclaimed with blast of horns, a holy convocation."

According to rabbinical tra- dition, however, the New Year marks the anniversary of the creation of many. All humanity has, therefore, an equal share in the common heritage of a universal birthday. The .symbolism of the ritual service such as.the sounding of the shofer, or rams' horn, is utilized to arouse the worshipper to a sense of his obliga- tions to his fellow man, as well as to admonish individual shortcomings. Among orthodox Jews, elaborate pre- partion is made for the reception of the great holidays. During a period of four weeks, at lesat, penitential prayers, called selihoth, are recited. This continues until the eve of the Day of Atonement. There is a practice of uncertain origin, called tashiiclt, in accord with which the members of congregations gather near a runnin m stream or other body of water, on the: afternoon of the second day of the holi- day, and symbolically cast their sins, into the depths. Among American Jews, New Year • day is dignified by a high spiritual mes• - sage, enjoining greater devotion to • worship.
