ROSH HASHANAH DAY II, THE BIRTHDAY OF THE WORLD
A Rosh Hashanah Program celebrating the Birthday of the World for families with children ages 4-11. Led by Rabbi Hannah Dresner, Rabbi Yoni Gordis and dance therapy student Alex Clancy, family groups will engage in a movement exercise guided by a narration of Creation. Our program will culminate with a snack of apples and honey and a full sounding of the Shofar. All under tents in the Or Shalom yard. Please dress in clothing that will allow you to move freely! Limited space; first come, first serve.

With attention to the wellbeing of all, participating adults must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, and we ask that family groups not intermingle in the dance. Masking is mandatory for everyone over 12 years old and recommended for those over 9 as per current education guidelines.
