Simana Milsa: Ashkenazi version
Teach your students the concept of Simana Milsa – that actions or symbols take the place of words – as they learn about the symbolic foods eaten by Ashkenazi community on Rosh Hashanah as prayers for a good new year.
Encourage your students to look for patterns in the creation of these symbolic tefillos: a connection to the essence of the food or a play on the names of the foods.
For older grades, extend the lesson by having students compare and contrast these Ashkenazi traditions with the foods eaten and Yehi Ratzons recited by the Sephardi and Mizrachi communities.
