The Jewish New Year holiday, Rosh Hashanah, is right around the corner. The holiday, which lasts two days, begins at sundown on September 6. Rosh Hashanah is a festive occasion, as most New Year celebrations tend to be. Many Jews will mark the occasion with a holiday dinner for friends and family. Rosh Hashanah foods are sweet to symbolize our hope for a sweet year. Rosh Hashanah’s dinner often begins with everyone dipping slices of apple into honey to usher in a year full of sweetness.
