FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do you put on the table for Rosh Hashanah?
A round challah, a honey dish for dipping apples and challah, and the simanim, the symbolic foods, with their Yehi Ratzon cards. Many tables also add a simanim tray, a pomegranate and a honey or salt dish at each setting.
What is the traditional color for Rosh Hashanah?
White is the traditional color, a symbol of purity and a fresh start, which is why many families use white tablecloths. Gold, honey and pomegranate reds are popular accents for the table.
Do people decorate for Rosh Hashanah?
Yes, mostly the table. Families bring out a honey dish, simanim tray and themed napkin rings, often with apples, pomegranates and flowers set before Yom Tov.
What foods are eaten as simanim?
Apples in honey, pomegranate, dates, carrots, leek, beets, gourd and the head of a fish, each with a short Yehi Ratzon. Customs and order differ between families, which is why simanim cards are so useful.
How do you make a Rosh Hashanah table look coordinated?
Stay in one design line. Feldart's Lucent, Blush Nectar, Honeycomb and Golden Branch lines each have a matching honey dish, simanim tray and napkin rings, so the whole table looks planned.
