Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, observed in the early autumn. It begins the High Holy Days, a ten-day period of reflection that ends with Yom Kippur. Families gather for festive meals, hear the shofar sounded in synagogue, and greet the year ahead with hopes for sweetness.
This puzzle features the central symbols and customs of the holiday, including SHOFAR, the ram's horn sounded in synagogue, CHALLAH, the round braided bread, and TASHLICH, the custom of casting bread on flowing water.
Use this word search when introducing the High Holy Days. Because many customs are sensory, apples and honey, the sound of the shofar, students connect quickly to the vocabulary. Pair it with the Yom Kippur puzzle to show how the two holidays bookend a single period of reflection.
