For Rosh Hashanah, it is said that we are celebrating the birthday of the world. To celebrate the holiday, you can involve your child in many different activities to start a tradition they will long remember. Here are a few ideas courtesy of Rabbi Mitchell Hurvitz of Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Conn.:

• Have a birthday party for the world. At your special party, ask the children to tell what they think the world would like for a present, and that can be their birthday wish.
• Create a round Challah cover, and use it at your holiday meal.
• Have a sweet-tasting buffet. Include the traditional apples and honey, but also include little tastes of favorite sweets. Emphasize, "This is for a sweet year."
• Have children do Tashlich. With the bread they throw in a water body, ask them to say something with each throw for which they are sorry and that they don't want to do anymore.
• Have children write or record with you their own written prayer. Bring it with them to synagogue, and read it with them. If possible, share with the Rabbi or Cantor.
• Create a Jewish family calendar, and use it during the year. Bring the spirit of Rosh Hashanah into every week.
