Jewish Holidays

Shabbat Origins: God rested on the 7th day of creation Begins at sunset on Friday and lasts until sunset on Saturday Jews are required to refrain from many activities: driving, answering the phone, writing, turning on an electric light etc. A day of worship and celebration A time to study Torah The traditional purpose of the Sabbath was a compassionate one: it was to allow everyone, even slaves and animals, regular rest.

Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year Is observed for two days A religious event involving both festivities (big meal) and serious contemplation Reflection on the deeds of the past year and on the need for redemption Rosh Hashanah The shofar (ram’s horn) is blown It produces a solemn tone of warning to remind people that they stand before God A time to pay off debts A time to make apologies to people

Yom Kippur Day of atonement= community ritual To atone means to make up for one’s faults This day has traditionally been kept by prayer and strict fasting, with no food or drink during the entire day It emphasizes repentance through confession of sin to God Confessions are said as a group or made silently to avoid shaming people publicly

Succot Reminder of the harvest In early days it was common for families to sleep outdoors in the fields during the autumn harvest season- which enabled them to begin work in the fields early, to stay late, and to protect what they have harvested Eating or sleeping in the shelters came to symbolize the period of wandering in the desert, before the Israelites reentered the land of Canaan A sukkah (Hebrew for shelter) is a shelter made of light wood it is set up in or near the home it is commonly decorated with branches and fruits Family eats in the sukkah for a week Succot

Pesah Lasts for a week Commemorates the Exodus from Egypt Aka Passover the blood of a lamb was placed over the doors of the Hebrews keeping the angel of death from entering their homes while the power of God “passed over” Egypt First & Second nights celebrated at a Seder a special feast where Jews retell the story of the exodus from Egypt lots of symbolic foods (matza, charoset, bitter herbs, hard-boiled egg, etc.)
