Sharing Family Traditions For Rosh Hashanna

Paula shared special family traditions that her family enjoys as they  celebrate  the holiday of Rosh Hashanna.The children were excited to see the  beautiful display table which included candle sticks and candles, challah bread, apples and honey and Rosh Hashanna books.  As the children gathered on the meeting rug, we lit the candles and the children settled in to listen to the story of Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is the celebration of the Jewish New Year.

 We read Sound The Shofar by Leslie Kimmelman and New At The Pier by April Wayland.  Humor, touching moments between family and friends, and lots of information about the Jewish New Year are all combined in these lovely picture books for holiday sharing.

     Dipping apples and challah in honey symbolizes a wish for a sweet and happy New Year.  Paula sang the prayers over the candles and Miranda and Annabelle joined in singing the prayer  over the bread.
