Sammy Spider is a curious little spider who loves to explore. One day, Sammy's friend, Max the Mouse, invites him to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Sammy has never heard of Rosh Hashanah before, but he is excited to learn about it.

Max explains that Rosh Hashanah is a time to celebrate the beginning of the new year and to reflect on the past year. It is also a time to ask for forgiveness for any wrongngs and to make promises to improve in the coming year.

Sammy is fascinated by all the Rosh Hashanah traditions. He helps Max bake honey cakes and applesauce, and he even gets to blow the shofar, a special horn that is blown on Rosh Hashanah.

As the sun sets on Rosh Hashanah, Sammy and Max go to the synagogue for a special service. Sammy is amazed by the beautiful songs and prayers, and he feels a sense of peace and joy.

After the service, Sammy and Max go home and have a delicious Rosh Hashanah dinner. Sammy eats apples and honey, and he makes a wish for a sweet new year.

Sammy Spider's First Rosh Hashanah is a charming and educational story that introduces children to the traditions of this important Jewish holiday. Sammy's adventures will help children understand the meaning of Rosh Hashanah and the importance of celebrating the new year with family and friends.
