Tishrei High Holy Days
From Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur
Introduction
The double file series: FROM ROSH HASHANAH TO YOM KIPPUR and FROM
SUKKOT TO SIMCHAT TORAH represents the integration of two former
series from different sources, covering different aspects of the
entire period of the Tishrei Festivals.
The more complex activity files are aimed primarily at mid and
late teens or students; some are suitable for coffee table discussion.
The games and projects are marked by age group, with provision
for younger children, as well as teenagers.
Most years, Jewish youth organizations or schools, barely have
time to introduce materials on Rosh Hashana - the Jewish New Year
- and Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement - in their first weeks
of the term. Many of them only succeed in addressing Sukkot and
Simhat Torah in some depth.
What you will find in this double series is, therefore, a combination
of elements to enable you, the educator, to approach the earlier
festivals as well, with activities which can continue at least
through half - if not the whole - of the first term.
Next, the considerable background materials on Sukkot, together
with the less conventional "Ushpizin" programme ideas and other
activity suggestions should also provide sufficient stock from
which to supplement your regular Sukkot programming.
If you have prepared activities you would like to add to this collection
in your own name, please contact us via e-mail and we shall endeavor
to assist.
