Tales from the Torah

Rosh Hashanah traditionally begins as the new school year begins. It is a celebration of the Jewish New Year. 
The Torah is the foundation of a child’s Jewish education. It is read publicly every year. Just as we typically start our traditional schooling in the fall, Jewish children complete the cycle of their Torah teachings on the holiday Simchat Torah. Many confirmation ceremonies or ceremonies marking the beginning of a child's Jewish education are held at this time.
