Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish new year, begins today at sundown. This is a time for feasting and celebration, a time to look back at the year past and to look forward to the year ahead. Traditionally, sweet foods are consumed at Rosh Hashanah, because they help to usher in a sweet, productive, and abundant new year. Make this simple, traditional food to mark this day and bring sweetness to your life.

Core and slice crisp, tart apples. Prepare a small bowl of honey. Dip the apples in the honey, thinking about how sweet life is and how many good things there are in store for you this new year. With each dip, bring more oozing sweetness to your life.

L’Shana Tova. Happy New Year
