SWEET TRADITION
Jewish tradition calls for incorporating special foods into the festive Rosh Hashanah meal. Each has a symbolic meaning, often based on wordplay, that draws attention to the prayers and intentions associated with the holiday celebrating the Jewish New Year. Building a menu around these ingredients is a creative way to incorporate different flavors and mindful eating practices. Most are inexpensive and seasonal and offer a change of pace from the usual brisket and matzo ball soup.
