Rosh Hashanah in CTG

Well, we went on vacation last week, so we really only did 4 days of Week 3. I wanted things to line up with the manual, so we did the Rosh Hashanah feast yesterday evening (Sunday), and caught up with the weekend readings, so Monday lines up with Monday.

For the feast we did grilled salmon (no fish heads), grilled corn on the cob, and a salad. I had talked with the kids what a traditional meal would have and why, but we didn't do it all. I got a loaf of Sheepherders bread from the grocery store to use as our "round loaf" and we just used grape juice for our wine. Rabbit made the crown and ladder. We followed the steps in the lesson plan. We chose pineapple (they were only $1 each) for our "new fruit." That's when we had a meltdown. Pooh doesn't like fruit, so he threw a fit when we told him he had to try a bite before he could have more bread (he LOVES bread).

Afterward, the kids acted out the Abraham sacrifices Isaac story, so that was cute. Anyway, it was a pretty neat little celebration, point us to Christ as our sacrificial ram. I'll put up pictures of our table when I can get them on the computer.
