[Teachldsseminary] Rosh Hashannah this week!

Mon Sep 10 09:32:20 MDT 2007

Yes, I have to practice blowing the Shofar.  And I think I'll also have 
honey cake besides the apples and honey.  I'm also going to give each 
student a "Happy Rosh Hashanah" card with a small blurb about the High Holy 
Days. I'll also talk about the books that are written in and sealed.
Yom Kippur is on Saturday this year, so I'll include some info on that on 
Friday.  This is the holiest day of the year, so I'll probably do a small 
presentation and talk about the Holy of Holies and the scapegoat, etc.
Also this year we are having a tri-stake passover seder.  Way cool.
