It is the first of the ten Days of penitence which culminate in yom kippur the Day of  Antiquity jews believed that on Rosh has Honah go wrote in his Book what was to happen to each person Dur ing the ensuing year. And on awesome yom kippur ten Days later it was thought the individual s Fate was  this belief gave Rise to the greetings a Good writing to you on the new year and a Good sealing to you on the Day of  in the ten Day inter Val religiously minded jews tried to be most Humble and righteous so As to have the Best possible destiny awarded them on yom kippur for the coming  Day of atonement is therefore the most sacred and solemn Day of the jewish year. It is a Day of Complete abstinence from food and drink from business and pleasure.

While on Okinawa Jeff Anil is boys played to capacity audiences Bot officers club tour of the Island theater a service club circuit. The sign so was always Bein displayed wherever de Vel played and his thousands o ans and admirers have been Locking to hear him and th3oys play their last engage ments on his current  his two weeks Vaca Tion in Manila Jeff will return to Okinawa where h Are the Only items on Agenda. Yet with Allom kippur most popularity austerity remains the jewish religious occasion. Yom kippur with its 24 hour Long fast and its 16 to 18 hours of prayer might easily have become a gloomy Day one that frightened. But such a state of affairs never came to pass because of the optimism of the jewish attitude to Ward god the jew has Confidence that god would rather Pardon than condemn. He feels that god cheers his children on in the burdensome task of yom kippur because he wants to Gran them a Complete and Loving absolution. If the worshipper feels any misgiving in connection with the Day it is Only with him self. He goes Home to Wonde How he can overcome Thi indolence and self indulgence which Are the greatest obstacles to genuine  jews Welcome the Days feeling that they enable peo pie to begin a year with a heart cleansed of sin and reassured of the love and concern of god for his children.
