Keeping It Sweet This Rosh Hashanah!

New York, NY, September 16, 2017: A two day celebration, Rosh Hashanah or the Jewish New year will be celebrated from the 20th – 22nd of September in 2017. As the sound of the shofar (a hollowed-out ram's horn) signals an awakening from spiritual slumber and reconnecting to the mission of the world, both days will witness rituals such as tashlich (casting away sins), candle lighting, festive meals and prayer services.

Rosh Hashanah is the day, it is believed, God created the world. It is also believed to be the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman and their first actions toward the awareness of humanity's role in God's world. It calls for celebrations and connecting with loved ones with a special prayer, traditional ambience and sumptuous customary food.

The festive meals on both days are symbolic of the sweetness of the event. It is tradition to begin the first meal on the first night, by dipping apple in honey. The bread (round challah) is dipped into honey as well, as people hope for a good and sweet year. Other traditional food items include the head of fish, expressing a wish to be a head, not a tail.

Pomegranates are eaten as its seeds are symbolic of numerous merits and plenty. Tzimmes, a sweet carrot based dish is staple as well, as it represents a desire for abundance in the coming year.
