Family Fun Day with the Jewish
Federation at Carrigan Farms
More than 140 parents and kids joined the Jewish Federation for a Rosh Hashanah Apple Picking at
Carrigan Farms. Our group got a chance to experience an age-old tradition first hand - picking some deli
cious apples from the orchards and learning how honey is made. The day included a fun hay-ride and
some yummy apple cider.
In addition to a bag full of fresh apples, each family took home a Rosh Hashanah goody bag compli
ments of the Jewish Federation and our beneficiary agencies - Charlotte Jewish Pre-School, Levine JCC,
Levine-Sklut Judaic Library, and the Jewish Pre-School on Sardis.
For more information about upcoming events for young families or to join our mailing list please con
