Rosh Hashanah with Morah Iryna

As Rosh Hashanah, Jewish New Year, is fast approaching, we reflect on the things we have done in the past year and make a promise to do better in the new one. We might have some regrets but we definitely have a hope for many new beginnings. I am so excited to begin this new school year by teaching about and celebrating Rosh Hashanah with the FJECC families!

Here are a few of my favorite Rosh Hashanah books:

"The World's Birthday" by Barbara Diamond Goldin

"New Year at the Pier" by April Halprin Wayland

"How the Rosh HaShanah Challah Became Round" by Sylvia B. Epstein

"The Apple Tree's Discovery" by Peninnah Schram and Rachel Eckstein Davis

"Tashlich at Turtle Rock" by Susan Schnur and Anna Schnur-Fishman
