New Year's celebration.


Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah

Jewish New Year. Sometimes called the Day of Judgment, Rosh Hashanah falls on Tishri 1 (in September or October) and ushers in a 10-day period of self-examination and penitence that ends with Yom Kippur.
, the Jewish New Year, usually occurs close to the beginning of the US school year, in September. Apples and honey are two symbols of sweetness, to welcome a sweet new year.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN APPLE PLATE

1. Roll out a slab of clay to an even thickness. If your art department has a slab roller, your teacher can use that to prepare the clay. If you don't have a slab roller, you can use a rolling pin to roll out clay for your plate. Try to make your clay an even thickness, and flat.

2. Cut out your clay in the shape of an apple. You can draw your apple shape on a piece of paper first, cut it out, and then trace around it on the clay, using a pin tool.

3. Cut your New Year's greeting out of clay. The Hebrew used in the examples say "L'Shana Tova," which means "Have a good new year." Be sure to attach your words before bisque bisque 1
