The children have been preparing for Rosh Hashanah for the past month, since Rosh Chodesh Elul. We have been privileged to have Rabbi Pini Pink of Chabad come and blow the shofar each morning.

We learnt about trying to be a better person and put messages on our mitzvah trees. We learnt about tefillah, teshuvah and tzedakah, baked round challah, visited the shul, made beautiful gifts for parents and heard Rosh Hashanah stories.

It all culminated in us setting our tables and noticing the differences between a Shabbat table and a Rosh Hashanah one. The children so enjoyed eating the round challah and apples dipped in honey. Everyone went home well prepared for the special days ahead.
