Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur For Families
Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur For Families
Parents,
The High Holy Day season is a time for family, personal reflection and joining together in community to express shared values and purpose. It is a time to think about where you are in life and what you want this next year to be. The answers to these questions are personal, and the process of self-evaluation is often more important than the final conclusion. (There is no "right way" to get "there".) The below resources are for you to use as you guide your children in uncovering the meaning of these sacred days.
Kids:
Everyone wants to be the best version of themselves that they can be. We have to take time and pay attention to the things we say and do, in order to do make ourselves better. On Rosh Hashanah we celebrate the gift of the world, and how lucky we are to be in it. On Yom Kippur we celebrate the gift of friends, and the gift of being able to make choices and change ourselves.
We hope you will watch the videos below as you think about ways that you make a difference in the world, and in return, the world makes a difference in you. You have a chance to decide how you want to change - make good choices!

t'shuva - What is it?
T’shuvah, while frequently translated as “repent,” has its Hebrew roots in the verb, “to turn.” When we have done something wrong, we need to turn to the other direction and commit to not wronging again. In other words, t’shuvah can best be understood as returning to friendship with the person we hurt and returning to a closeness with God. Our goal with t’shuvah, then, is getting back on the path toward becoming the best we can become.
Jewish tradition tells us sincere apology is one of the four steps in t'shuvah, turning to our best selves:
Acknowledge/apologize.
Express remorse.
Attempt to ‘right the wrong.’
Never repeat the mistake given the same situation.
