To celebrate this occasion the children made cards to take home and Baz our chef prepared a traditional meal which included ingredients like honey, fish, lamb, carrots and spinach.
 

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year festival. It lasts two days.

It commemorates the creation of the world.

Rosh Hashanah is also a judgement day, when Jews believe that God balances a person's good deeds over the last year against their bad deeds, and decides what the next year will be like for them.

It's a time for people to think about their priorities in life and to reflect on what has been achieved in the past year.

It's a time of asking for forgiveness for wrongdoings (sins)

It's a chance for Jews to ask questions about their actions throughout the year. Questions considered during Rosh Hashanah include:

What's the most meaningful thing in my life?
Who in my life means the most to me? How often do I let them know this?
What are the most significant things I've achieved in the past year?
What do I hope to achieve next year and in my life generally?
