Beyond Apples and Honey — Reimagining Rosh Hashanah Rituals for Grandparents

Join JGN and Rabbi Vanessa Ochs, Ph.D. — author and Professor Emerita in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia — who will guide us in ways to reimagine our Jewish New Year. 

Rabbi Vanessa will include:  

• How to create a family- and guest-friendly Rosh Hashanah practice. 
• The power of “Jewish food magic” with inspiration from omens (simanin) — fish heads, fenugreek, and dates. 
• Ways to engage grandkids of all ages, such as writing puns and helping to lead the celebration 
• Ideas for embracing multifaith and mixed-heritage family and guests with rituals adapted from other cultures 
• Creating sweet connections across distance  

The Jewish Grandparents Network is deeply grateful to Chip Edelsberg for sponsoring this webinar.
