| It is customary on Rosh HaShanah to eat foods symbolizing sweetness, blessing and abundance. We dip the challah in honey; and afterwards on the first night, we eat a piece of apple dipped in honey. After the appropriate blessings on the apple, we add: "May it be Your Will to renew for us a good and sweet year." Many Jewish families have customs of eating the head of a fish, and pomegranates and carrots, as well. |
