September 2012 Updates:
Pretty girls ready to celebrate the High Holidays!
The BJE sent a sachet of honey for Rosh Hashana, so the girls enjoyed the tradition of dipping apples in honey.
Alma learned to say “Shana Tova”!
Hahgoot brought apples and honey and pictures of Rosh Hashana
symbols to school.
It was a roaring success!
When I came to pick her up the kids ran over to let me know they loved the tradition and everyone had to tell me if
they loved the honey, the apples, none or both.
Her friend Jasmin now insists on having apples dipped in honey for
breakfast!
So we are certainly bringing some Jewish flavours to the
neighbourhood...
We also had a big Rosh Hashana dinner with friends, this time at Rebecca’s home in Winmalee.The girls helped with the preparations:
They made Rosh Hashana cards and licked the whipped cream when I made cookies for Debbie’s family and a honey
cake for Rebecca’s family.
Alma enjoyed getting dressed for the big dinner, in a dress she got from Eli’s mum,
Delfina. She insisted on putting on her boots by herself, of course...
At last we arrived at Rebecca’s home.
The kids tried to keep busy till the food was ready and we
could sit down for the blessings.
Nadav did a great job blessing on the wine and on
the exotic fruit
And after some more apples in honey (the kids never seem to tire from this...)
we enjoyed Rebecca’s amazing cauliflower soup. The girls LOVED it!
After the first course the kids went off to play, and the adults could enjoy the main course
with some (temporary) peace.
Hahgoot and William got along very well
Alma got along with everyone and of
course came back for the dessert –
homemade fruit sorbet!
And Barak enjoyed talking about books
with Rebecca’s mum, Rona, and her sister, Alex
Hahgoot enjoyed the BJE studies for Sukkoth
The girls built together a Sukah in the yard!
It was great team work.
They made a S’chach from eucalyptus
branches, Aussie style
There wasn’t enough branches to cover the Sukah so we went out to gather
more in the strata’s driveway
The girls worked together to cover their little hut, and enjoyed
watching the wind blow their windmills around (it was Hahgoot’s
idea to use them as decoration)
After a quick break for chocolate milk, the girls made Mexican paper cuts for decoration
Alma made some collages and then went to play in the sandpit.
Hahgoot kept working hard, and added
Hebrew words with stickers.
