Yom Kippur
Continued from PagelA
Fast will be broken Wednesday
at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday’s services include
the A1 Chet, a list of 30 sins that
have been committed before God,
Landy said.
Its name, Landy explained, “is
derived from shooting a bow —
when you miss the mark in
archery.”
Erev Rosh Hashanah, which be
gan this year at sundown Sept. 20,
marks the entry into the “days of
atonement,” a period for spiritual
cleansing. For 1,200 Jewish stu
dents, the religious events bring
community together.
“It’s a time when they’re used to
being with their family and com
munity,” Landy said. "We are
now their community.”
The mood of students far from
home shouldn’t be directed to
ward sorrow, Landy said.
“It’s a solemn period, but it’s
not a sad period,” she said. “It’s a
time for introspection, a time for
renewing one’s place in the world
and concept of the divine.”
While many campus groups are
in orientation this week, JSU needs

Jewish Holidays follow different
time standards. Rosh Hashanah cele
brates creation, the birthday of the
world. Holy days begin atsunset,fol
lowing the orbit of the moon instead
of a 24-hour cycle. High Holidays fol
low a yearly cycle that was prescribed
in the Book of Numbers, a book of the
Torah concerned with legal obliga
tions. Other observed cycles include
the harvest cycle and the cycle com
memorating specific historic events.

to hold activities immediately, JSU
co-director Angela Favero said.
“We’re busy welcoming stu
dents in terms of being open,” she
said. In comparison with Hillel,
she added, JSU is “more of a sup
port system for students.”
Private college students usually
don’t attend classes during Yom
Kippur, and it’s an excused ab
sence at state schools, Landy said.
Still, Poplack said, the conflict
is straining.
“You don’t want to skip class,
but then your parents ask ‘How
was your fast?’” he said.
The University recognizes the
Jewish New Year but still holds
classes. Students not attending for
Yom Kippur will be excused, Uni
versity Registrar Herb Chereck
said.
