Celebrate Rosh Hashanah with Ellie and her family—and try your hand at some baking and making of your own.

Shorter days and cooler air mean autumn is here. For Ellie, the best part is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year! Ellie loves helping Mom bake round challahs, sampling the raisins, and assisting Dad with the sweet honey cake. As the house fills with delicious smells and the sky grows dark, her grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins arrive to mark the holiday with them—including bossy Lara. Can Ellie find it in her heart to forgive Lara for “borrowing” her paints last year? As part of a warm family series about festivals, The Sweetest Rosh Hashanah features two activity spreads inviting young readers to make their own challah bread and create a festive card to give to someone they love. Shana Tovah!
