Rosh Hashanah Apple Picking

NO MORE BUS SPACE AVAILABLE - IF YOU SIGN UP, YOU MUST PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO LEHMAN'S ORCHARD FOR YOUR KIDS

Join us for Dan & Shirlee's final event at the Federation--a Camp Ideal reunion in preparation for Rosh Hashanah! We'll meet at the Federation for a trip to Lehman's Orchard in Niles, followed by challah baking, lunch & games on campus. Afterwards, the community will come together for a holiday Shi’Shuk.

This event is intended for the youth of our community (ages 5-15). Cost is $20 per child (includes trip to Lehman's, lunch and a free challah). Maximum cost for families with 3+ children is $50. Parents are welcome to chaperone but should email Dan Ravitch in advance (dravitch@thejewishfed.org). Otherwise, families are free to drop off their kids at 10 AM and pick them up during Shi'Shuk.

Please arrive at the Federation by 10 AM. Our bus will leave promptly thereafter, and space is limited. We expect to arrive at the Orchard by 11 AM and plan on leaving by 12:30 PM. If you intend to drive your own family to and from the orchard, please let Dan Ravitch know.

Lunch for children will be served back on campus in our pavilion as soon as we return (sandwiches, apples & honey, baby carrots & granola bars). Please let us know of any food allergies or dietary restrictions when you register.

Then at 1:30 PM, we'll begin preparing for the afternoon Shi'Shuk Market, with a host of Rosh Hashanah themed activities to keep the kids smiling!

Our Shi'Shuk Market will be open to the entire community from 3:30-4:30 PM.
