Celebrating Rosh HaShanah together

On Monday Junior School students got ready for Rosh HaShanah with a festival of special activities. These included seeing bees up close, making honey joys and honey jars, baking round challah, partaking in a Rosh HaShanah seder, making challah covers, tzedakah boxes, Rosh HaShanah decorations and Year 5 visiting Rabbi Levi at Emmy Monash. Students also undertook a meaningful tashich ceremony.

Thank you to our amazing Jewish Life and Learning educators who demonstrate the meaning behind Rosh HaShanah through so many engaging activities.
