Simanim: A Tasty New Year
A variety of symbolic foods, called simanim, are eaten at the beginning of the Rosh Hashanah dinner. The foods are each accompanied by a short wish for the new year which includes a pun based on the name or characteristics of the food. The most well-known example is apples dipped in honey and eaten with the wish to be blessed with a sweet new year.
