He also played forward and guard positions for the University of Chattanooga basketball team, where he played for three years. Mr. Mose excelled as a fine athlete and leader even then.

Shavuot Shavuot is the Hebrew name for the Feast of Weeks, one of the three pilgrimage festivals (Festi­ vals of rejoicing) in the Jewish cal­ endar year (Shalosh Regalim). It is observed on the 6th and 7th days of the Hebrew month of Sivan. (June 9 and 10,1989) In Jewish tradition, a further meaning is attached to Shavuot, the time when God gave the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. Because of its agricultural sig­ nificance, it is customany to deco­ rate Jewish homes and synagogues with flowers and plants. The Book of Ruth is read in the synagogue, and Confirmation services are held in most Reform and many Conser­ vative congregations.
