Select a gift for Rosh Hashana

This year Rosh Hashanah of the New Year 5769 begins the evening of Monday, September 29 and is celebrated on Tuesday, September 30 and Wednesday, October 1, 2008

The celebration of Rosh Hashanah is celebrated with many sweet foods, like honey cakes and apples dipped in honey. Jews do this in hopes that it will bring a “sweet year”. Other symbolic foods that are often found on Rosh Hashanah are pomegranates, carrots and the head of a fish.

As every gift you buy , also Rosh Hashana gifts should be kosher under rabbinical supervision.

So if you intend to nuts , chocolates , candy , honey , wine - you should check whether they are kosher.

Of all the beautiful gift items making their way to the shops on Rosh Hashanah, ornamental Apple-honey containers heads the list as they are symbolic of the sweet year that awaits all.

Another great idea for a gift for "Rosh HaShana" can be a bottle of fine ( and kosher ) wine ,

with a jar of honey and granola wrapped with a towel and a satin ribbon .
