Free Printable Rosh Hashanah Reading Log, Certificate and Calendar Set

About these rosh hashanah printables handouts

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, observed in the fall at the start of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. It is marked by sounding the shofar and by foods such as apples and honey, and many families and schools give it a place on the calendar.

This set has six files that share one design language: an apple, a honey jar and a shofar. Every file is drawn from shapes and type only, so the set shows symbols and patterns and no people or figures. The reading log has twenty ruled rows with date, title, minutes or pages, and a column for a grown-up's initials. The certificate is a landscape page with a patterned border. The calendar page is a blank six-week grid with day names and empty date boxes, so you write in the dates yourself. The bookmark sheet holds eight cut-apart bookmarks with tassel holes, and the writing page and reward chart round out the set.

The apple, honey jar and shofar are drawn plain, with no text, so students can color them or add a greeting in the language of their choice. The pages carry no Hebrew letters or prayers.

The reading log, certificate, bookmarks and reward chart carry no logo or web address, so a student or family can keep them. The calendar page and writing page keep a small footer. Use the reading log for a fall reading challenge, the reward chart for a class goal across the holiday season, and the border page for new-year wishes and notes to family.

How to use them

1. Choose the file you need: reading log, certificate, calendar page, bookmark set, border page or reward chart.
2. Open the fill-in boxes and type the details that stay the same for the class, such as the school, teacher, month or the heading.
3. Pick a color style. Black and white saves ink; the colored styles suit card stock.
4. Print on letter paper at actual size, or save as a PDF. Use card stock for bookmarks and certificates.
5. Fill in names by hand or on screen, and keep a spare copy of each page for new students.

Classroom tips

• Let students write a new-year goal on the border page and tuck it into the reading log folder.
• Print the honey jar bookmark in yellow and the apple in red for a quick class display.
• Print the bookmarks on card stock, cut on the lines, and punch the small circle at the top for a tassel or ribbon.
• Keep two blank certificates in a folder so there is always one ready for a quiet moment of recognition.
