Rosh Hashanah, Head of the Year, is the Jewish New Year celebration. Its a time for reflection. The children were asked how can you grow and improve yourself this year? Where do you need to seek forgiveness for wrong choices you made last year? As a class we discussed how they celebrated New Years Eve and how this year we can make changes. We discussed any wrong choices they made last year and how they can be forgiven moving into the new year of 2022. They watched a video telling them how the Jewish families celebrate Rosh Hashanah over 2 days with lots of food, prayers and creative rituals. They enjoy dipping apples into sweet honey to celebrate a sweet new year.
Shanan Tova! (Happy New Year!)
