With Rosh Hashanah and Midterms right around the corner, I’ve taken the time to put together a list of things to help get you into the Spirit of the New Year!
Pick some apples. Go to an apple orchard with your friends and stock up for the fall festival. You can never have too many! There are many different orchards in the Greater Binghamton area. Or, even better, you can join Chabad on Sunday and go apple picking!
Take up Beekeeping. If you are going to pick your own apples for Rosh Hashanah, you might as well learn how to collect your own honey. I mean it’s only rational. How hard can beekeeping actually bee?
Find a cute way to say Shana Tova. If you need a break from studying and baking isn’t really your speed, why not make a card that says Shana Tova! Once you make a card wishing someone a Shana Tova, you can gift it to almost anyone, your friends, roommates, or maybe even your professor. Who knows, they might just go easy on you with grading!*
Try something new. If all of these options seem like too much effort, just try a new fruit! It’s really easy and fun, you just have to get a fruit- that you’ve never had before, and test it out! Just don’t forget to say a bracha. My new fruit every year is a pear, I just pretend like I’ve never had it before and it’s like eating a new fruit every year- but the same!
Shana Tova u’Metukah! Hope you have a year as sweet as you are!
*Ori’s Oracle is not liable if your professor doesn’t bring your grade up.
Where are you from? Where did you go to high school?
