Tales from the Torah for Children
This month's stories for children come from the Torah, the Jewish sacred text.
The Torah is the foundation of a child's Jewish education. It is read publicly every year.
When teaching Judaism to kids, it is common to share the story of Jonah and the Whale during the afternoon of Yom Kippur since the story shares of God's willingness to forgive those who repent. Jonah is also mentioned in the Christian New Testament, the Qur'an and by Mohammed. The Jewish Religion celebrates Rosh Hashanah.
It is a day to celebrate the start of the Jewish calendar. Rosh Hashanah celebrates the beginning of the Jewish New Year. The shofar is a simple ram's horn that Jews are commanded to sound on the solemn days of the New Year. It reminds people of the Jewish faith that the power of their hearts is more powerful than any event in their lives. They are reminded that they are meant to live a good and holy life. People of the Jewish faith show their gratitude to god by obeying His commandments.
