Below are a few of the great online resources available this Rosh Hashanah (http://www.babaganewz.com/tag/rosh-hashanah+holiday-resources/?teachers):
Choose one of these two lessons on teshuvah for parent-child learning or junior congregation. “The Juggling Flow” (article http://www.babaganewz.com/kids/the-juggling-flow/ and lesson plan http://www.babaganewz.com/teachers/lessons/1707lesson/) explores how juggling and teshuvah are both about making new behavior second nature. Families can also “go for the gold” with “Teshuvaletes” (article http://www.babaganewz.com/articles/teshuvaletes-on-your-mark-get-set-go/?teachers and lesson plan http://www.babaganewz.com/teachers/lessons/1909lesson/), which offers a teshuvah training schedule.
Introduce your parent-child learning group to beekeeping and honey production at Israel’s Kibbutz Yad Mordechai. Use this article (http://www.babaganewz.com/articles/to-bee-or-not-to-bee/?teachers)and accompanying lesson plan (http://www.babaganewz.com/teachers/lessons/1508lesson/)to explore the symbolism of honey on Rosh Hashanah.
Encourage families to go beyond apples and honey at the holiday table. Use this article (http://www.babaganewz.com/articles/funky-festive-foods/)and lesson plan (http://www.babaganewz.com/teachers/lessons/1504lesson/)to teach about the tradition of Rosh Hashanah simanim (symbolic foods) and encourage families to incorporate their own puns into the holiday menu.
Suggest that families try this magic trick (http://www.babaganewz.com/kids/rosh-hashanah-magic-trick/)at home.
Support families in strengthening the observance of one mitzvah in honor of the New Year. If it’s charity they choose, this tzedakah box craft (http://www.babaganewz.com/articles/get-crafty/)is a great way to get started.
