Rosh Hashanah, which begins in the month of Tishrei, is a holiday from the Torah and one of the first days of the Hebrew year. It is celebrated today as a Jewish holiday on the 1st and 2nd of Tishrei and opens the Ten Days of Repentance until Yom Kippur. On the night of the holiday, it is customary to hold a festive meal in a special eating order that includes eating symbolic foods called "signs" and reciting prayers before eating those foods that sound similar to the name of the food. The custom originates from the words of the Amora Abaye in the Talmud, which states that one should eat "kara" (pumpkin or zucchini), "rubia" (a type of bean, or fenugreek), "kerti" (leek), "selka" (beet, spinach or chard leaves) and "tamari" (dates). During the time of the Geonim, eating honey, fatty meat and lamb's head is also mentioned. During the time of the Rishonim, eating pomegranates, apples and fish was also mentioned. Only at the end of the Rishonim period, was the custom of eating honey combined with the custom of eating apples among Ashkenazi Jews into the famous custom of eating apples in honey, which also spread to other places. Following this custom, the custom of eating honey cake also spread during the holiday. * "The Light for the Whole World" and the site management do their best to update the inventory on a regular basis according to the data we receive from the various suppliers we work with.
