Eat a new fruit on the second night of Rosh Hashanah

Hello all you Judaists out there, you're about to watch an episode of "The Adventures of Todd and God," which is a new educational cartoon developed to help teach young Jews about Judaism.

This video will show you how to eat a new fruit on the second night of Rosh Hashanah, with Todd and God. Here, God shows up as an orange to give Todd a very important Rosh Hashanah lesson: how to eat a new fruit. Rosh Hashana is the Jewish New Year festival. Unlike the New Years that most people know on January 1st, the Jewish New Year is held on the first day of Tishri (September), the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar.

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim Noraim ("Days of Awe"), or Asseret Yemei Teshuva (The Ten Days of Repentance) which are days set aside to focus on repentance that conclude with the holiday of Yom Kippur.

A common fruit used for the "new fruit" is a pomegranate, but you can use any other exotic fruit, like Goji berries, soursops, guavas, feijoas, cherimoyas, pomelos, persimmons, loquat, Ugli fruits, and maybe even... oranges.

The Adventures of Todd and God - Theme Song

"It started when a boy went to clean his menorah,
And a magical friend came to help him learn torah,
He's magnificent, omnipotent, preeminent, omniscient,
It's the Adventures of Todd and God!"

This, is very jewish. I know informational videos for religions and their practices are almost archetypal in always being lame and child appealing (though I remember when I was a kid I still thought they were lame), but maybe one day someone in some church of some religion somewhere will get creative and make something entertaining...possibly even interesting if I dare say so.
