There are many traditional foods for Rosh Hashanah. They include apples and honey, carrots, dates, fish, pomegranate, beetroots and leeks.
Many people cook with these foods so traditional Rosh Hashanah foods include honey cake, apple cake and carrot kugel.
Answer:
Some have the custom of eating a fish head (well at lest have one on the table) as Rosh HaShanah literally means head of the year
On Rosh Hashanah, festive meals are held in the home, and traditional foods (such as the well-known apple dipped in honey) are added to the usual Shabbat menu, to symbolize a sweet year (see Talmud, Keritut 6a). Foods traditionally tasted on Rosh Hashanah include beets, dates, small light-colored beans, leeks, gourds, pomegranates, and the head of a ram (or a fish).

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 during services 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).*See also the Related Links.
Nothing it's a fast day.
He Did Not Eat.
Eat and drink
Jews do not eat pork, and they do not eat meat and dairy in the same meal. There are also guidelines for specific holidays, like no yeast on Passover and fasting on Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur is a total fast, observant Jews do not eat or drink anything for about 25 hours, from sunset on the eve of Yom Kippur to nightfall the next night. The tradition also bans wearing of leather, wearing perfume, and bathing during that period. (If someone's health is endangered, however, the fast must be broken.) The Yom Kippur liturgy is long, with special melodies that are used only once a year, penitential and confessional prayers, and the reading of the Book of Jonah. The service marking the end of Yom Kippur ends with a long blast of the Shofar, at which point, a congregation of hungry thirsty people descends on food.
Food, and if they are observant Jews, kosher food. There are two fast days in the Jewish calendar when Jews do not eat anything. Perhaps these are the "non regular days" to which the question refers. These are Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av.
Orthodox Jews don't eat for 24 hours, but after Yom Kippur, they "Break the Fast" by eating large meals. The other branches of Judaism eat whatever they want. __________ Correction, it's a 25 hour fast, no food or water.
when you EAT !
It is celebrated in a synagogue and people pray for God's forgiveness for the mistakes they made in the previous year. Additionally, Yom Kippur is a biblical fast day, this means that Jews fast for 25 hours with no food or water.
Yom Kippur is not a day of celebration but is actually the Jewish day of atonement. Rosh Hashana is 10 days beforehand and it is the start of the Jewish new year. On rosh hashana Jews start repenting for their sins of the previous year and they use the 10 days until yom kippur to pray for forgiveness and show god they are sorry. On yom kippur Jews do not eat as a way of almost mourning over their sins. They go to the synogogue all day and pray to god to give them a good year. Jews believe there is a book of life and a book of death and so they are praying to god to be written into the book of life. The books are sealed on yom kippur and therefore the day ends with a neilla service which signifies the 'gates closing' and the books being sealed.
it finishes at sundown and that is when you can eat since you fasted
Yom Kippur is a Jewish holiday known as the Day of Atonement. Many people of Jewish faith in the United States spend the day fasting and praying.
It's the Day of Atonement, where you don't eat or drink for 25 hours.
