I Sweet New Year:
Community Apple-Picking Events
t’s the time of new: new school semester, new season and, of course, a new
Jewish year. As the lunar calendar approaches 5783, the Jewish Federation of
Greater Philadelphia’s neighborhood Kehillot invite community members to
celebrate Rosh Hashanah with various apple-picking events.

In addition to apple picking, these programs will be complete with craft
activities, hay rides, music and shofar blowing, at some of Greater Philadelphia’s
popular orchards. But the main attraction is the apples, which can be used to
dip in honey this Rosh Hashanah on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 25 through
Tuesday, Sept. 27.

“Th e Jewish Federation is excited to start a new year by welcoming in our
community with a nod to Jewish tradition in a family-friendly and fun way,”
Director of Community Development Max Moline said. “All are welcome to
join our Kehillot, neighborhood groups, as we connect with fellow community
members and get in the spirit of the High Holiday season.”
Check out the below events, and get excited to pick as many apples as you can
carry. Visit jewishphilly.org/apple-picking for registration information and more
