We have had a great time learning about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We focused on the special importance of teshuvah- repentance, tefillah- prayer, and tzedakah- charity and acts of kindess during this time.
Please enjoy these photos of some of the activities we enjoyed:
"Tashlich" at the boardwalk.
 |
| The students said a special prayer to asking Hashem to help us 'throw our sins into the sea'- make a fresh start and put mistakes that we have made in the past behind us. |
"Kapparos" ceremony before Yom Kippur
 |
| Rabbi Naftali swung a chicken over our heads. We asked Hashem to forgive us in the merit of our giving this chicken to tzedakah to help feed the poor. |
Baking honey cake for a sweet new year :)

| Lots of honey = lots of sweetness! |
