    Rosh Hashanah Recipe Roundup

    Published: Sep 10, 2015 · Modified: Feb 4, 2023 by Samantha Ferraro · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

    L’Shanah Tovah! Sunday, September 25th is the start of the Jewish New year, Rosh Hashanah. And it is traditional to bring in the New Year with something sweet, so you can have a sweet New Year. The common tradition are apples and honey, simple and sweet, but there are a few other foods that are also traditional and symbolic for the New Year, including beets, black eyed peas and dates.

    For your celebratory pleasure, I’m sharing dishes that can be made for your Rosh Hashanah party. And it doesn’t stop at just apples and honey!

    RoshRoundup

    Apples and Honey: Definitely the most recognized foods to eat for the New Year. Both are sweet and will bring in a sweet New Year!

    Dates: Similar to beets, the Hebrew word for dates is “t’marim”, similar to “tam” meaning “removal” or “to end”, as in with grievances or enemies.

    Pomegranate: Probably one of my favorite things to eat for the New Year, because it is considered a “new fruit”. Meaning that we should eat something that we have not had since it’s last season. Another reason to eat pomegranates, is because it has many seeds, which symbolizes the many mitzvoh that we will do in the coming year.
