Rosh Hashanah Feasts & Yom Kippur Break-the-Fasts are Shipping Nationwide for the High Holidays
The Jewish New Year celebration of Rosh Hashanah is almost here, and together with Yom Kippur, which falls shortly afterwards, they’re referred to as the Jewish High Holidays (or High Holy Days). Rosh Hashanah is a day to celebrate the new year, attend services in which the shofar is blown, and eat symbolic foods like apples dipped in honey for a sweet new year. Yom Kippur, which is observed ten days later, is a solemn day of fasting, atonement, and prayer. The two holidays are quite different, but for many Jews, they both have one thing in common: culminating in a large, festive meal shared with family.
Rosh Hashanah Feasts
Ess-a-Bagel’s Holiday Nosh Package
Every family has their own traditional foods that they like to eat on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but for many the Rosh Hashanah feast is “meat” and the Yom Kippur feast, called “Break-the-Fast” is “dairy.” The Rosh Hashanah dinner may involve braised brisket, chicken, Jewish deli platters, and side dishes; and as the Break-the-Fast is the first meal of the day (even though it’s eaten around dinnertime), it may traditionally include bagels, lox, other “appetizing” (smoked fish and other foods that traditionally top bagels, kugel, and other traditional meat-free Jewish breakfast foods.
