| We are fortunate to have a diverse community at Allenby, and we’d love to celebrate that! We invite you to share your traditions and important celebrations with us, so we can learn more about each other and grow stronger as a community. If you have a special occasion or cultural event you’d like to highlight in the newsletter, please email us at Allenby DEI.
Thank you to the Niman family for sharing this week:
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year!
During the High Holidays, a round challah is used – symbolizing fullness and completion. It is customary to dip the bread into honey – symbolizing our prayer for a sweet new year. Then, after the bread has been eaten, take an apple and dip it in honey to symbolize a sweet year.
A part of Rosh Hashanah is to hear the shofar (blowing of a Ram’s horn). The shofar is regarded as a spiritual alarm clock, awakening us from our slumber.
To those who celebrate, Shana Tova (have a good year)! |
