Rabbi Jessy Dressin will start the day with What’s Up with Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur?, an exploration of the whys and whats of the Jewish New Year and Day of Atonement. In the afternoon, choose your own creative adventure. You can either make your own holiday greeting card with Rabbi Jessy or taste (and learn how to make) an apple cake with the Yiddish Gourmet, Barry Kessler.
