Day 7

It’s Day 7 of #30DaysOfLearning...week one, done! We hope you’ve enjoyed learning along with us for the first week. Share your comments and feedback by replying to this email or sending a quick message to [email protected]. Now, for today’s learning: Barbara Libbin, Immediate Past President and ultimate Disney fan, is rolling up with an important message about physical and spiritual fuel, and how we sometimes need to make better choices for our bodies and our long-term health.

Learn more! Dr. Erica Brown writes a beautiful blog post addressing the concept of your table as a spiritual altar. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the blog entry. (We know! Scrolling is the worst!) Looking to add a simple and exciting twist to your Rosh Hashanah table? Borrow something special from another Jewish's culture's holiday food tradition courtesy of Federation’s Jewish Food Experience.  Recommended reading for anyone who eats and one example of how to do this badly. (Sorry Barbara!)  Up next: OKC's Cantor Labovitz gives meaning and purpose to our most frequently said meditation during the High Holy Days, Psalm 27. 

Special shout out to the biggest appetites out there: All high schoolers are invited to a special evening of Pizza Making in the Sukkah on October 6. Bring your expert tossing skills and favorite topics to this online event, and make sure you register by October 5 to receive the recipe, ingredient list, and Zoom link.  Hungry for more reading material? We’ve uploaded some great high holiday books for adults, teens, and kids. Pull one off the book list and order it from one of your favorite local book sellers.

Let’s discover our connection points to one another! We will ask you to share fun facts about yourself, offer personal reflections, and engage in interesting conversation points. For each of these thirty days, we will introduce one new topic a day. Today’s topic:  How are you planning to make your Rosh Hashanah table celebratory?  Bookmark this page to follow along with all thirty topics. See posting instructions or contact [email protected] for assistance.

Cooking together is just one way to engage kids in learning about healthy eating habits. Watch this video for tips and tricks, then prep some yummy fruit and veggie snacks in fun shapes before diving into some Rosh Hashanah foods together that just might make a second appearance on your holiday table.  Healthy Apple Honey Granola and Citrus Carrot Salad from the Jewish Food Hero Kitchen Apple Nachos from A Healthy Life for Me Roasted Butternut Squash with Pomegranate and Tahini from Cooking Light 

Want to be part of the fun? Send videos and content related to the High Holy Days and watch our community get even closer… a little social distance can’t keep OKC members apart!  If you had this email forwarded to you and want to join in the daily learning, email [email protected].
