Eve Of The New Year: Rabbi Julius Weinberg of the Beth Israel Center and his family, like Jewish families all over the world, gathered last night for a ritual meal after synagogue services marking the beginning of the Jewish new year. Here, he feeds his 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Naimah, a piece of apple dipped in honey, while he repeats the traditional expression, "May it be God's will to grant us a good and sweet year." A piece of the rich white bread concealed by the cloth before him will also be dipped in honey as a symbol of hope that experiences of the coming year will be sweet. Mrs. Weinberg looks on.
