Shavua Tov uMevorakh!
The Rosh HaShanah Seder-by Menachem Posner
'On both nights of Rosh Hashanah, a number of foods are eaten to symbolize our prayers and hopes for a sweet new year. Many of these foods were specifically chosen because their Hebrew names are related to other Hebrew words that convey our wishes for the coming year. An accompanying prayer is recited, expressing our wishes inherent in these words and foods. [We] recite each prayer while holding the particular food in the right hand, immediately before it is eaten.
Foods at the Rosh Hashanah Seder:
- Dates
- Small light colored beans
- Leeks
- Beets
- Gourd
- Pomegranate
- Apple (cooked in sugar) and honey
- Head of a ram (or a fish)
-Smile Eshet Hayil! :D
