Hey everyone,
This week, let's celebrate the rich tapestry of our family traditions! From holiday rituals to unique customs passed down through generations, family traditions play a vital role in shaping our identities and connecting us to our heritage.
What are some of your favourite family traditions? Do you have any special rituals for holidays, birthdays, or other significant occasions? How have these traditions evolved over time, and what new ones have you started with your own family?
Share your stories and the traditions that mean the most to you. Let's enjoy a heartwarming discussion about the customs that bring us together and celebrate the diversity of our backgrounds.
Feel free to join the conversation and share your thoughts!
It feels a bit awkward writing this, but I'm Jewish and just celebrated Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish new year). Our Rosh Hashanah dinners include many traditional foods, some universal and some just family traditions. These include dates, apple with honey, fish, beet greens, and pomegranate. Our family eats gummy fish heads (because we prefer them to actual fish heads), peas so we have a year of peace, and banana bread so we have a bonne année (good year in French). These are basically prayers for the coming year.
