Shana tova, guys!
That means happy new year… even though it’s September. 😛 We’re going by the Jewish lunar calendar here, so it actually is the Jewish new year.
So, we do all sorts of fun things on Rosh Hashana with lots of symbolism so the little guys in our family can get it too. We throw crumbs in the river (because they’re like our sins Jesus takes away so we’ll never find them again), we eat fish (because God says we shall be the head and not the tail… technically we should be eating the heads, but I’d rather that my food didn’t stare at me), we blow the shofar (a reveille for the soul, if you will.)
And we eat apples and honey. And try not to get any honey in our hair.
Well, I try.
I’m have a suspicion that my little brothers don’t.
Anyway, here’s our favorite Rosh Hashana song to listen to, by the Israeli group, The Fountainheads.
Have a good Rosh Hashana, everyone!
Enjoy your apples and honey! (you know you want some…)

First the song was awesome, and I hope you have a great rosh hashana, I know I will be enjoying the delicious honey and apples yum. 🙂
You should try apples and honey. They’re really good! 😛
I know right they are so tasty, although I don’t have the honey in the hair problem, oh ya we celebrate the jewish holidays now so that cool.
Apples and honey in the hair…
I hate it when the apples look lovely but are grainy instead of crisp. That sucks.
And curly hair. It’s a nightmare.
Eeeew… those grainy apples are not fun. But we got some from our trees, so we don’t need to worry as much. 😉
Right… *sigh* Sticky stuff in curls: Not a good combination.
Lucky you! Our neighbor has an apple orchard out back, but unfortunately we don’t get apples from them much any more
Yeah, it’s pretty nice having our own fruit. 🙂 we have a peach tree, but the only peach we’ve ever gotten off it was like blackberry size… 😛
*rolls on floor laughing*
And I thought it was just a regular peach tree! 😛
So did we… we just couldn’t live in a worse place for peach growing. The only reason that one came at all was that we had a really hot summer. 😉
My grandfather used to have a pair of peach trees. He had a bumper crop of wormy peaches one year, so we made peach butter.
Ooh, yum. 🙂 We’ve made apple and pear butter, but never peach. I’ve got to try that next peach season.
It’s really good. 😀
