The Jewish High Holy Days are observed during the 10 day period between the first day (Rosh Hashanah) and the 10th day (Yom Kippur) of Tishri, the seventh month of the Jewish calendar.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the most important of all Jewish Holidays and the only holidays that are purely religious, as they are not related to any historical or natural event.
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is celebrated the first and second days of Tishri. It is a time of family gatherings, special meals and sweet tasting foods.
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn day of the Jewish year and is observed on the tenth day of Tishri. It is a day of fasting, reflection and prayers.
So here for your entertainment are some fun Holiday things for you and your family. We've got stories of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, a Shofar to blow, some sweet holiday recipes to bake and holiday pictures for the kids to print and color. We hope you find something you like! So bring your kids and tell your friends. And please stop by again.
