I think something that is really beautiful about Judaism, is that everyday, we have an opportunity to pause and be grateful. It’s even written in the Talmud that a person should say 100 blessings every day.
I made these sweet apple and honeybee puffy friendship necklaces while thinking about my friends. No matter your age, Rosh Hashanah (and Yom Kippur) is a time to think about our friends and say ‘You’re special to me. I’m sorry, and please forgive me” to friends we may have hurt in the past year.

They’re so simple and happy, come make one too!
