Yom Terruah


 Yom terruah ( feast of trumpets) is quickly aproching and it is time to think for my family at least, what we need to do.

lets first talk about this feast, Yom Terruah is my personal favorite feast. mostly because it has alot of things to do with kids and is a very active holiday plus I love fall.
some great books I use every year for getting me ready for this feast are ....

you can get this book on amazon for around 30.00 it sounds expensive but trust me it is worth the money I use it for all the holidays and I love how it is laid out and all the information in there. it is a great book and you and your family will love it.

there are crafts, recipes and puzzles in there and info on how to celebrate the holidays and fun decorations you can make for each holiday.






This is another great book I love for the feast and actually has one of my favorite recipes for Yom Turrah in it. I read this book every year to make sure I have all I need for the feasts and help me get in the right mind set. again it has crafts for kids, how to celebrate it and recipes. This is the number one book I recommend for someone who is just learning about Hebrew roots and how to celebrate the holidays for the first time.

this book runs on amazon for 12.00 or 10 in kindle I have both since I tend to lend this book out alot then have to beg for it back around this time of year.
