Beginning with the first day of לול , א� we blow the ר � .every morning שופWe continue to blow every morning

through the day before שנה ב ר*אש ה) ר� ע�

Page 3: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

The reason we do this, is to wake up the people to do ה שוב� ת�

Leave Me Alone I Want

To Sleep

Ok I`m getting up!

Page 4: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

On ה נ� ש� ב ראש ה+ ר. we do not ע.blow the ר שופ�

We don’t blow ש�ו�פ�ר on the last day of ל :for two reasons א�לו

1. To mix up the ש��ט�ן.

2. To show a difference between ה�ג� נ �ה and מ� צ�ו .מ�

Why is that?

Sephardim say Selichos all month

From the Saturday night before Rosh Hashana until Yom Kippur, we get up early in the morning, each day, and say

selichot. Selichot are prayers that we recite asking Hashem to forgive us for the wrong deeds we did.

I’d rather study TORAH !

HaHa!!! I get to say Selichot

all month

Page 9: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

Say התרת נדרים

It is customary to perform hataras nedarim (annulment of vows)This is a way of canceling any vows or haven't been kept. promises that may have been made in the past year, but

This should be said in front of a Beis Din of three men.

מותר לךמותר לךמותר לך

Page 12: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

Its almost Chatzos, hurry up!

A person should have his/her haircut in honor of the יום טוב

ה נ� ש� ה ה+ י. יה� ה ש. גול� ה ע8 ל� ח+ה טוב� ינו ל� Sל ל ע� Sג ל� ג+ מ�

During the High Holidays, a round challah is used --

symbolizing fullness and completion

Page 19: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

Dipping the Challah in honeyWe dip the Challah in honey (so that we should have a sweet

year).

Page 20: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

We dip a piece of apple into ש ב) ד9(honey) and say:

יך ה נ� �פ ל9 צון מ: �י ר ה: נו' י9 Zי אבות Zאלק Zינו ו Zלק א� ה �תוק ה ומ9 �ה טוב �נ �ינו ש Zל �ש ע Zד ח) ת9 .ש�

P.S. Make sure to check

for bugs in the apple!!!

Page 21: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

We dip a piece of apple into ש ב+ :and say (honey) ד�יך ה נ. פ� ל� צון מ: י ר� ה: נו' י� Sי אבות Sאלק Sינו ו Sלק א.

ה תוק� ה ומ� ה טוב� נ� ינו ש� Sל ש ע� Sד ח+ ת� .ש.

Page 22: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

Why do we choose apples above other sweet fruits? 

Isaac blessed Jacob with the words: "The fragrance of my son is like the fragrance of a field which Hashem

has blessed…" (Bereishis 27:27). The Talmud identifies this "field" as an apple orchard. (Ta'anis 29b,

Biyur Hagra)Also, apples are not special fruits. They are

found all over and are not expensive. We are using them as a sign of a sweet New Year to say we are grateful to Hashem for whatever he gives

us . Even simple and ordinary things.

Page 23: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

According to Cnet.com

Putting honey on an apple can cause it to

malfunction and void the

warranty

Page 24: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

On a pomegranate we say:נו Sי אבות Sאלק Sינו ו Sלק יך ה' א. נ. פ� ל� צון מ: י ר� ה: י�מון ר: נו כ� Sיות oכ ה ז� ב. ר� ת+ .ש.

By the way the Ari Zal says that one Shall Not eat purple grapes on Rosh Hashanah.

Page 25: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

There is also a custom to eat the head of a ram, sheep, cow, or fish to symbolize the wish that we may also be at the head and not the tail.

יך ה נ� �פ ל9 צון מ: �י ר ה: נו' י9 Zי אבות Zאלק Zינו ו Zלק א�ב �נ �ז לא ל9 ראש ו9 ה ל9 י� ה9 נ: .ש�

“Being the head is nice, buy I seem to be missing the rest

of my body.”

I wish I was a fish head !

Page 26: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

This guy prayed too hard.

Page 27: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

On carrots we say:נו Sי אבות Sאלק Sינו ו Sלק יך ה' א. נ. פ� ל� צון מ: י ר� ה: י�

נו Sיות oכ בו ז� יר� .ש.

The meal may also include a dish containing carrots-since the yiddish word for carrots, מערין,

can also be translated to “multiply”. We ask Hashem to

help us increase our mitzvot and good deeds and to multiply our

people.

Page 28: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

On the second night of Rosh Hashanah it is customary to wear a new garment or to have a new

fruit on the table when saying the shehechiyanu blessing. Thus, the shehechiyanu blessing applies not only to the holiday, but to the new garment or

new fruit as well.

(This is done in order to

accommodate the minority of

halachic authorities

who rule that no

shehechiyanu blessing be said on the

second night of Rosh

Hashanah.) (Taz 600:2)

Page 29: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

In ה� ש�מו�נ ע�ש �ר�ה

instead of saying ל�ה�קדו�ש ק�� ה�

we say � �ך �ל מ� ה�דו�ש ק� ,ה�

and instead of � או�ה�ב מ�ל�ך

ק�ה צ�ד��מ�ש�פ��ט we וsay � �ך �ל מ� ה�מ�ש�פ��ט .ה�

We do this to emphasize

that ה' is our

King.

Page 30: Elul and rosh hashanah template  mordechai

There is an old Minhag to go a flowing body of water after Mincha of the first day (best with fish) and say certain Teffilos. We are

symbolically throwing away our Aveiros.

Of course, it is foolish to think you can rid sins by

shaking out your pockets.

Rather, the Jewish approach is deep introspection and

commitment to change

Indeed, the whole idea of "Tashlich" is partly to commemorate the Midrash that says when Avraham went to the Akeida (binding of Isaac), he had to cross through water up to his neck

Both the body of water and the fish are symbolic. In The

Gemorah, Torah is represented as water. Just as fish can't live

without water, so too a Jew can't live without

Torah!

Also, the fact that fish's eyes never

close serve to remind us that, so

too, God's eyes (so to speak) never

close; He knows of our every move
