Wednesday marks the start of the holiest time of the year for Jewish people. It’s Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Families in Minnesota will head to synagogue and eat apples and honey among other traditions.

A Minnesota-based company, Kar-Ben Publishing, has been helping teach these traditions for 50 years. Kar-Ben is the largest publisher of Jewish culture children’s books in the world.
