Tishrei Festivals

The Department for Jewish Zionist Education presents Tishrei Festivals, a good resource guide for parents and youth regarding Tishrei holidays and related activities.

With the advent of the New Year, you can begin with an overview of the Jewish calendar, the major cycles of festivals and their significance.

It's not too early to check out the Sukkot and Simhat Torah sections where you can learn about the Four Species, the Ushpizin, and Hakafot. Find activity ideas for Sukkot and Simhat Bet Hashoeva, read more about the historical message of Pilgrim Festivals (Shalosh Regalim), and play games with your family and friends.
