| | |  | | |  Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and forgiveness, are the two High holidays of the Jewish calendar. Children are introduced to the deep religious significance of these holidays through a traditional prayer, a Tashlikh ceremony, folk songs and animated fables. They learn the symbolization of the holiday foods, the special clothing that is worn, the importance of the Torah and of performing good deeds throughout the year. Children also learn to make greeting cards wishing health and happiness. Part of the multivolume Holidays for Children DVD Series. A teacher's guide is included and is available online. | "  ... this long-awaited video series which introduces children to holidays in America and around the globe is highly recommended." - Video Librarian (Jan/Feb 1995)"The series explores and explains the symbols, customs, rituals and folklore underlying our major holidays...Public and school library collections will be enhanced by this contemporary look at these celebrations...an excellent introduction for young children." - School Library Journal (Feb 1995) "...this series recognizes the spiritual roots and secular customs of each notable observance. These are welcome videos that don't revisit the well-trod paths of other holiday titles." - Booklist (March 1, 1995)
