5 Great Rosh Hashanah Coloring Pages for Children

Rosh Hashanah coloring pages are a perfect way to teach kids the values of introspection, realization and action towards positive changes in life. The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, falls on September 18^th this year and rings the beginning of year 5770. For Jews, it's time to make resolutions or amendments to life. The Days of Awe is the ten day period that commences from Rosh Hashanah and culminates in Yon Kippur. During this period the Jews reflect on their deeds, seek reconciliation from the people they have hurt and work on atonement.
