Everything You Need to Know about Hosting or Entertaining this Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah, the start of the Jewish New Year, has many customs surrounding food and meals. For example, while braided challah is eaten each week on Shabbat, it is customary to eat round challah on Rosh Hashanah. The circular shape symbolizes the cyclical nature of life.
Raisins are sometimes added to the challah dough to symbolize the hope for a sweet new year. The bread is dipped in honey, instead of the usual salt, for the same reason. Similarly, we eat apple slices dipped in honey.
Since Rosh Hashanah is two days long, observant Jews eat four holiday meals - two dinners and two lunches. Families often host their extended loved ones, friends, and neighbors, sharing Rosh Hashanah foods rich with symbolism.
The pomegranate is often eaten on Rosh Hashanah, since it is thought to contain 613 seeds, corresponding to the 613 mitzvot in the Torah. Some people also eat a fish or sheep’s head because of the holiday’s literal meaning as the head of the year.
