The High Holidays are one of the most beautiful and special holidays. It’s a time to be joyful and also reflective. And there are many opportunities to involve your kids in fun and meaningful learning experiences!
The High Holidays include Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and the ten day period between the two. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, where we celebrate the birthday of the world. Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, when you spend an entire day thinking about your actions of the past year and how to improve and be your best self in the new year.
Explore our High Holidays crafts, activities, and experiences from this year and previous ones to engage you and your family in a fun and meaningful High Holiday experience!
