Lemons for the Fast
Yom Kippur is fast approaching and to prepare for the upcoming fast day, the first grade students are making something called a Pomander, a lemon with cloves stuck into it, to help their fasting family members. The strong and yummy scent of the lemon and cloves can be very refreshing and reviving to people who are fasting on Yom Kippur. The students had fun, poking holes into the lemons with tooth pics and pushing the cloves into place! And the classrooms smelled amazing!
