I remember having the most important conversations with my daughters about animals when they were very young. We would sit together, and I would say to Stefie, “A cow says, hmmm, let me think…quack quack, a sheep says oink oink,” and Stefie would laugh gleefully at the ridiculousness of me getting my animal sounds mixed up!
We’re just getting ready to start the second Hebrew month of the Jewish calendar – the month of Cheshvan (falling in October or November). This month brings us the well-loved story of Noah and his ark full of animals.
The Hebrew word for sweet is Ma-tok! Honey comes in many varieties (from flowers, citrus, and even palm trees - if you live in Florida)! It's fun to have a family honey tasting to see which honey tastes sweetest for Rosh Hashanah apple dipping!
On Rosh Hashanah, apples taste extra sweet because we dip them in honey! A fun way to thank the honeybees for their honey is to learn more about them by visiting at a bee farm!
It's fun to extend the theme of growing and changing for the Jewish New Year by helping your children make their own butterfly wings!
One of my favorite books for the Jewish New Year is Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. While this might not have been written as a "Jewish book," the idea of growing and changing (like a caterpillar into a butterfly) is a Jewish theme for Rosh Hashanah.
Rosh Hashanah gives parents the opportunity to talk to our children about mistakes, and say, "I'm sorry." No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but with each New Year, we can try to do better.
Rosh Hashanah is the perfect time to take your family on a "Birthday of the World" Nature Walk!
