+      * [[libraries_should_recognize_passover_and_the_asian_heritage_month_of_nisan]].  Passover was totally ignored at the Central library and three other branches I visited.
       * I asked the Board to acknowledge Passover as a heritage week.

+Recognizing the new moon of the harvest month, and Proclaiming Oct. 3rd as the universal New Year's Day (Rosh haShana), day of trumpet blasts (Yom Teruah) and Day of Judgement (Yom haDin). God is the source of all good, and to him thanks are due. Thanksgiving will be held this year on Oct 17th, the full moon and 14th of Tishrei.
+Now, O kings be wise, accept instruction o ye rulers of the earth (county commissioners, city councilors, university chancellors and officers of the faculty senate) Serve the LORD with fear, rejoice with trembling. (Psalm 2). The God of nature has through nature itself, rendered judgment through nature itself on our crops and gleanings. The fear of heaven comes more naturally to farmers and shepherds than it does to bourgeois liberal like us, who are insulated from the changing seasons by our technology, wealth, and power. Therefore cultivate fear, and prepare yourselves to receive the judgment on the coming year. Take a searching and fearless moral inventory, an audit, an annual budget review. Take an accounting of your soul. Recognize Tishrei as a universal heritage harvest month, in Multnomah County and everywhere (calling on libraries, public schools, and universities, and students and faculty unions, and other cities and states to make an equivalent or similar recognition)
