What does one give at Rosh hashanah?

Answer 1

We read the Torah and say prayers which ask for a good year and which declare God's kingship over the world. The shofar (ram's horn) is blown (Leviticus 23:24), symbolically heralding God's kingship. Festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are eaten to symbolize a sweet year

Answer 2

There is no tradition of gift giving during Rosh HaShanah. However, if you're invited to someone's home for dinner and you wanted to bring something, kosher wine, kosher honey, and fruit are all good options.

Answer 3

Anything involving bees, honey, apples or pomegranates would be especially suited. Rosh Hashanah is a time when Jews wish each other a sweet new year, and all of these have become associated with the holiday for their sweetness (or, in the case of the bees, because they produce sweet honey). Actual fruit, paintings of them and so on would be good gifts.

Well, pretty much Eat 2 pickles the day of Rosh Hashanah, that's the main thing!

Answer 4

Rosh Hashanah is the first two days of the month of Tishrei, and is the Jewish New Year. Our traditions state that at that time the world is judged for the coming year (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a); and we read the Torah and say prayers which ask for a good year and which declare God's kingship over the world. The shofar (ram's horn) is blown (Leviticus 23:24; Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 33b-34a), symbolically heralding God's kingship, and calling to mind the covenant of Isaac (see Genesis ch.22). Festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are eaten to symbolize a sweet year.

Answer 6

I think that they eat apples dipped in honey. They also sometimes eat fish. But before they eat they say a prayer. To see that god is a king they bake bread as the shape of a crown.
