apples and honey
Jewish New Year
Apples and honey is a traditional Jewish food pairing eaten during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Apple slices are dipped in honey to symbolize hopes for a sweet year ahead: We gathered around the table for apples and honey.
The combination has become emblematic of the holiday itself.
