Rosh Hashanah 5780 2 Day Menu
First up, I just wanted to share how I’m planning out my Rosh Hashanah prep. This year we have Shabbat, then Saturday night and Sunday free to prepare, then the 2 days of Yomin Tomim. SO, my priority for Sunday is to tidy the house a little post Shabbat (anyone else’s house get SO messy […]
Lessons I’ve Learnt – Tishrei
3rd of October 201824th Tishrei 5779 I feel so tired. Exhausted. My biggest lesson I’ve learnt standing at the end of this holiday season is that I need to be realistic about my capabilities at this time, and I need to prioritise the Yom Tov over other events. So we went through Rosh Hashanah fine […]

Rosh Hashanah Menu 5778
I thought it would be a good idea to plan out my menu for Rosh Hashanah this year, as it’s only two weeks away! This is our first year celebrating Rosh Hashanah and having synagogue services to go to, so I’m not 100% sure how it will all fit together. As far as I can tell […]
Rosh Hashanah 2016
