REFRESHER:

Why is the time of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur a serious time of the year?

• The Beis Hamikdash was destroyed

• We are being judged

• Because summer is over

• The Romans surrounded the walls of Yerushalayim.

Why do we eat Apples and Honey on

Rosh Hashana?

• Because we are hungry

• To thank Hashem for the fruits and the bees

• To ask Hashem for a Sweet New Year

• To remember how important trees are

What is the only way to get a good judgment for a good new year? (a)   . Why? ​ (b)   .

• Do Teshuva
• It erases our bad deeds
• Pick up your garbage
• It makes the streets cleaner
• Sing
• It makes us happy

If TESHUVA is the only way to make bad deeds go away, then why do we eat apples and honey and ask for a sweet new year?

• Because you daven better when you are full

• Because we share them with our friends

• Because eating sweet things will a sweet new year
