Apples and honey for Rosh Hashanah…and so much more!

Tapuach bedvash

It’s time to start thinking about Rosh Hashanah in more concrete terms. It’s a three day Yom Tov this year! I’ve already seen the sale of seats and even lulav and etrog/esrog, so it’s not too early – we’re already in Elul!

Here is what I’ve done or am planning to do so far this week:

  • order seats for shul
  • pay shul dues (ours have always been due about now for the different shuls we’ve belonged to in our travels)
  • consider and probably order lulav and etrog for dh (still looking for less expensive “learning” one(s) for kids)
  • new tzitzit for boys
  • order pjs for all 4 kids (our tradition–they are always needed around this turn of the seasons!)
  • order/find needed clothing for kids: new dressy outfits for all, Shabbat pants for two boys
  • purchase new special something for kids–legos? clics? Something to add to their simcha (joy).
  • order/find new something for me (outfit? tichel?)
  • check with dh about his clothing needs
  • take care of kittel, if your dh wears one for Yom Kippur (mine doesn’t, but it’s common)
  • plan our Rosh Hashanah homeschooling lessons and projects
  • plan menu (but with all the simanim (special, ritual foods) we use, that’s a whole post by itself!)

    What a great to do list for the chag. Usualy i am a last minute person, but I want to change and improve myself before Rosh HaShana. So I can look forward to the chagiem without to much stress 😉 – Shabbat Shalom

    1. I’m going to get more out on Rosh Hashanah and the rest of the chagim, too. I don’t want to overwhelm people with a whole bunch of lists immediately, but bli neder I plan to put up printables as I go for organizing the chagim. I hope they are helpful to you!
