Tishrei ‘Holidays

In this course we will explore the Jewish holidays through the Hebrew calendar and learn about the traditions and customs. We will discuss the big ideas and the meaning of the Tishrei holidays – Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot and Simchat Torah and find personal connection to them.

We will ask many questions: Why do we celebrate Rosh Hashana? What is so special about Sukkot, the harvest festival? What is Simchat Torah?

Together we will read stories, listen to music, explore and “taste” special foods, visit Israel’s unique places and meet Israel’s people and diverse culture.

We will use short videos and songs to make a personal connection to the holidays.
