The Symbolic Foods of Rosh Hashanah

Ever wonder why we always serve and eat the exact same foods for Rosh Hashanah? (A lot of us do it, without knowing why!) Here is a good article that lists the most popular foods and their meanings

 I’ll highlight a few of my favorites:

  • Apples
  • Honey
  • Pomegranates
  • Round Challah 
  • Honey Cake

They also listed a fish head, but that is one tradition I skip since it seriously creeps me out. Some other goodies that I would also add are brisket, because that’s the most popular main course, and chocolate rugelach, which is the best pastry. 

 

What’s your favorite High Holiday food?
