Apples and honey

Edited by Lucie Skeaping.
Traditional Jewish

This is a traditional Jewish song for the Festival of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, which takes place for two days between the middle of September and early October. The two-day holiday is considered to represent one very long day (a High Holy day), which gives it special importance in the Jewish calendar. Apples and honey are part of the unique Rosh Hashana dinner - they symbolise hope for a sweet year to come.
