Rosh Hashanah...what do you do?

[JennyMominRI]

SO what do the Jewish posters here do for Rosh Hashanah... Does anyone have any good recipes to share?

Friday night I'll be having dinner with the family -- challah, gefilte fish, chicken soup with matzah balls, brisket, roast turkey....and, of course, apples dipped in honey. ditto Saturday night, though my kids will be with their father and his family.

we'll got to temple both mornings. and we will perform tashlik at a local pond Sunday afternoon (you throw bread into the water to symbolize casting off your sins).

I don't belong to a synagogue, so the only choice I have are on-campus services, and I don't care for the rabbi they bring in, so I'll be at home, probably working. :-(

I'll be in WDW over Yom Kippur, so I have to make sure I get my work done before I leave.

Well THIS Catholic girl will be loading up on the challah and matzo ball soup at the corporate cafeteria. I salute you for some of the best holiday food in America. YUM. I look forward to Rosh Hashanah from Labor Day onwards.

I'm sorry. Your dad passed away on my birthday

My family is in a similar boat. My grandfather passed away at the beginning of November. He was a religious Jew whose favorite time of the year was Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur. It's going to be very difficult.

But, we decided that we were going to fill the house with people and food and spend the time together like he would have wanted. My sister and I are even driving the 6 hours home for the weekend.

Wishing everyone a very Happy and Peaceful New Year!

And my DMIL is coming in Wednesday night so she and DH can go to bris at the crack of dawn Thursday in DC.
