of the mil this evening ushers In!
tlm Jewish new year .'.673. Tb
festival is onf of the most Important
of th" W-wihh calendar and Is scdul-
only ot served by the reformed nnd
orthodox alike. The orthodox carry
the observance over two day? clur-
inr w hie TT time they cense all work.
The reform Jews celebrate only one
day.
Tl:e are more than sixty Jewish
rh.ir'h.s in ('.renter New YDrk but
even this large number Is Insuffic-
ient to n commodate the larse num-
bi r "f worshippers on fmportant
feasts or fasts days. This lack of
adequate accommodations Is not to
bo wondered at. in view of the facf
that nearly l.nnn.oiio. or consider-
ably more than half of the total
number of Jews In Anierlc reside
In this city.
For the present holiday season the
Kehillah. or Jewish Community of
New York has made arrangements
to use a number of provisional syn-
acociiep. The organization has also
n.ad- arrangements for the holding
of service for the benefit of the Jew-
ish Inmates of the tuberculosis camp
at West field at the emigrant sta-
tion a Fills Island nnd in various
other public Institutions.
