A pre-Rosh Hashanah apple picking event will be held Sunday at Lee Turkey Farm from 2 to 5 p.m. Admission is free and all are welcome to attend. There is a cost for the apple picking.

The apple picking is set to coincide with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. “Apples are a symbol of the holiday, and we thought it would be a nice family event to pick apples,” said Bassie Madoff, program director at the Shalom Heritage Center in East Windsor, who is hosting the event.

As a round fruit, the apple is a symbol of the new year “from beginning to end, full circle,” Madoff said.

There will be holiday storytelling for children, and a craft for kids to make their own shofars, or holiday horns, Madoff said. There will be a free raffle of Israeli “goodies,” Madoff said, and gourmet honey tasting.
