Simana Milta: Sephardi version
Teach your students the concept of Simana Milta – that actions or symbols take the place of words – as they learn about the symbolic foods eaten by Sephardi and Mizrachi communities on Rosh Hashanah as prayers for a good new year.
Encourage your students to look for patterns in the creation of these symbolic tefillot: 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 Sephardi traditions with the foods eaten and Yehi Ratzons recited by the Ashkenazi community.
