Staff Report/Somerset Reporter
Tuesday October 07, 2008, 3:23 PM
The children at the Breitman Family Chabad Hebrew School were preparing for Rosh Hashanah, as they learn important holiday messages and the practices that reflect those messages. Here, Anna Rabinovich of Bedmister proudly displays her classmates' spiral Challot -- the traditional shape for the Challah bread used on Rosh Hashana to signify that at the beginning of the cycle of each New Year, people resolve to be better than the year before, just as the spiral continuously rises upward. For more information about the Breitman Family Chabad Hebrew School, contact Chassi at (908) 604-8844, Ext. 225, or chassi@chabadcentral.org.
