Hasbro, a brand I grew up with as a Baby Boomer kid, figures prominently in my own children's lives too. We own many games from this company both those we have bought ourselves and others that I have received for review on MBE such as Scrabble Turbo Slam, Clue: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Edition, Sorry Revenge, and Pictureka. Hasbro also makes a variety of toys such as Play-Doh fun classic kid pastime that has been enjoyed for multiple generations.

Some of the best known symbols of this special time of year for the Jewish people include the shofar -- a ram horn which will be blown at Rosh Hashanah religious services worldwide -- and apples and honey to express wishes for a good and sweet new year. The ram's horn will be blown again at the end of the 25 hour Yom Kippur fast.
