Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need on the table for Rosh Hashanah?
While the specific items on the Rosh Hashanah table may vary depending on personal and cultural practices, there are several symbolic items commonly found. Here are some key elements typically included:
- Challahs: A round challah is often used during Rosh Hashanah to represent the cycle of the year and the continuity of life.
- Apples and Honey: These sweet foods symbolize the hope for a sweet and fruitful year ahead. Slices of apple are traditionally dipped in honey, and blessings are recited over them.
- Pomegranates: Pomegranates are regarded as a symbol of abundance, fertility, and mitzvot (good deeds). The fruit is eaten, and its seeds are a reminder of the many blessings and good deeds to be performed in the coming year.
- Rosh Hashanah Shofars: The shofar, a ram's horn, is blown during Rosh Hashanah synagogue services and often displayed on the table. Its distinctive sound serves as a call to introspection, repentance, and renewal.
- New Fruits: Some people incorporate new and seasonal fruits into their Rosh Hashanah table to express gratitude for the bounty of nature and the start of a new agricultural year.
- Fish: Fish, often served whole, symbolizes abundance and fertility. It signifies the desire for a year filled with blessings and prosperity.
- Wine or Grape Juice: Kiddush, the blessing over wine or grape juice, is recited to sanctify the holiday. It is customary to use a special Rosh Hashanah Kiddush cup during the blessings.
- Honey Cake and Other Sweet Treats: Various sweet treats, such as honey cake, round raisin challah, or tzimmes (a sweet carrot dish), may be served to further emphasize the desire for a sweet and joyous year.
