Rosh ha shana cards

Homemade Rosh ha shana cards with bottles corks

During Rosh Hashanah, it is traditional to eat apples dipped in honey, to symbolize our hopes for a "sweet" new year. The apple is dipped in honey, the blessing for eating tree fruits is recited, the apple is tasted, and then the apples and honey prayer is recited.
Rosh HaShanah is the Jewish New Year and like most Jewish holidays there are food customs associated with it.  This sweet combination stems from an age-old Jewish tradition of eating sweet foods to express our hope for a sweet new year.
