The poster gives the schedule for the 7th of Adar 5704 (March 2, 1944). Morning prayers begin at 7, with special selichot for the 7th of Adar at a synagogue in the Old City, and after the reading of the Torah there will be a memorial for those souls who died in the past year.

At 9 a.m. there will be a visit to the cemetary, where Psalms wil be recited and special prayers for the 7th of Adar and in memory of those who passed away in the past year.

There will be a Mincha service at 4:45 p.m. at the Yeshurun synagogue, and after the reading of the Torah, there will be a memorial for "our brothers" who were murdered in the occupied lands[Europe]. Sermons on matters of the day will be delivered by the Chief Rabbis. All members of the Hevra Kadisha and members of the families of those who died are invited to participate in the various prayer services.

Those who wish to participate should reserve a space by Tuesday, the fifth of Adar.

Customs of the Seventh of Adar The pious have the custom of fasting this day and saying a special prayer or "Tikun for the seventh of Adar" that is found in the siddur (Jewish prayerbook). For the death of the righteous is atonement, and fasting, repentance and prayer likewise atone for Israel. When both types of atonement occur together, total forgiveness is achieved for the people of Israel. In a leap year, which contains two Adars, this fast is generally observed the second Adar, with some observing the fast the first Adar also. It is customary in many Jewish communities for the Chevrah Kadisha (burial society) to observe the seventh of Adar as a day of gathering for its members. A festive banquet is held and the entire community participates. Gaba'im (officials) are appointed, and regulations are adopted for the coming year. The reason for this custom reflects praise upon Israel. Most working people rejoice when work increases, and are saddened when their work diminishes. The Chevrah Kadisha, however, never rejoice in their work for obvious reasons. On the seventh of Adar their work ceased. For upon the death of Moshe Rabenu no creature was engaged in his burial, except G-d in His Glory alone.
