Apples and Honey: A Rosh Hashanah Story (Festival Time!)
PreSchool-In this pleasant offering, a family celebrates the Jewish New Year by putting on new clothing, eating apples dipped in honey, and listening to the sounds of the shofar in the synagogue. They also observe the ceremony of Tashlich and throw crumbs that symbolize sins into the river. Observant families might find the book useful, but others will find it too brief to help in understanding the holiday. The notes at the end provide some additional information. Cohen's soft, colorful illustrations depict the season and the traditions.Susan Pine, New York Public LibraryCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
