At HANC, the kids were prepped for holidays

Posted

The students at the Samuel & Elizabeth Bass Golding Early Childhood Center and Elementary School of the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County busily prepared for Rosh Hashana. They learned about the many mitzvoth and traditions of the day, including the special tefilot that are said, blowing the shofar, giving tzedakah, dipping apples in honey, and wishing friends and family a “Shana Tova”.

At HANC 609, Elementary School Principal Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh began each day by blowing the shofar.

Students on the West Hempstead campus are proud of their hard work on the many hands-on and sweet projects they undertook. They painted with apples, made honey dishes and apple-themed napkin holders, wrote Shana Tova letters to their families, baked round challahs to take home, and tasted yummy apples dipped in honey.

Sixth grade students were also treated to the Tzivos HasShem Shofar Factory where they learned the halachot of what makes a kosher shofar and then each student was able to saw, sand and blow their very own shofar!
