Apple & honey

Apple & honey

• ronnymarcus 15 years ago
  Next week, The Jewish community will be celebrating the Jewish new year ,(Rosh-Hashana).
  One of the symbols of the festival meal is an apple dipped in honey. This is to symbolise "a whole, round, sweet year" that we wish for ourselves. Just thought I'd tell you.

  Greetings Ronny. That was very thoughtful of you to explain to those who do not understand.
  # Chet
  Chet is the Hebrew word for sin. On Rosh HaShana Jews ask God to forgive them for their sins.
  # Teshuvah
  Teshuva, which literally means "returning", is the term for repentance. On Rosh Hashanah Jews do teshuva, which means they repent for their sins.
