Welcome the Jewish New Year with music, movement, creativity, and a little bit of wonder. Hear the soulful call of the shofar, make hands-on holiday crafts, drum to joyful rhythms with Drummm, and discover the remarkable world of honeybees with the SF Beekeepers Association. Then enjoy apples, honey, and other sweet tastes of the season as you celebrate fresh beginnings and all the possibilities of the year ahead.
