The Rosh Hashanah seder is one
of the holiday’s oldest food traditions — and now
it’s one of the newest trends in celebrating the
Jewish New Year.
Eating symbolic foods the first night of Rosh
Hashanah dates back to Rabbi Abaye’s instructions
in the Talmud to eat five foods that were typical
of the season. These foods had names or qualities
that represent wishes for health, prosperity and a
good year.
So while you might not have heard of a Rosh
Hashanah seder, some sources say it has existed
for about 2,000 years.
