The Holy Days continue for ten days and conclude with the fast of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Jews wish each other a happy new year with the greeting “Shanah Tovah!”
Jews traditionally serve sweet foods for Rosh Hashanah to symbolize a sweet new year. Apple slices dipped in honey are a favorite, as are carrot tzimmes, lekach (honey cake), teiglach (honeyed dough balls) and round loaves of challah bread.
Other traditional foods include dates, leeks, spinach, beets, and pomegranates. Ancient Hebrews would serve a roasted lamb’s head to symbolize the “head” of the year.
