Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur: Shofars, White Robes, and the Gates of Heaven

Why do we blow the shofar, wear white, and fast for 25 hours? Why do we dip apples in honey and tap our hearts during prayer? In this High Holidays episode of Little Lamplighters, we step into the awe-filled days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

We explore the journey from Elul to Ne’ilah, from soul-searching to fresh starts. With immersive stories, kid questions, customs from around the world, and the powerful tale of Sandy Koufax’s Yom Kippur stand, we ask: What does it mean to begin again? Can one whistle open the gates of Heaven? And what if you don’t know the words, but still want to speak to Hashem?

Pull up close and join us for the Days of Awe. This episode is filled with meaning, memory, and the quiet courage it takes to say: this year, I want to grow.
