The Sweetest Rosh Hashannah

Celebrate Rosh Hashanah with Ellie and her family - and try your hand at some baking and making!

Shorter days and cooler air means autumn is here. For Ellie, the best part of the season is Rosh Hashanah, a holiday full of sweet things for a sweet new year. She usually looks forward to spending it with family, but this year she does not want to see her bossy cousin Lara, who took Ellie’s special paint set and never gave it back! Can Ellie find it in her heart to forgive her cousin and be friends again? 

Featuring a festive recipe and craft, this is a charming story of new beginnings, set during a holiday of fresh starts. 

“Dotted with onomatopoeia, Bergman’s text will make a good read-aloud. . . Gentle meditations on forgiveness seen through the lens of a prominent Jewish holiday.”
