Top 5 Gifts for Rosh Hashanah

One of the unique Rosh Hashanah traditions include eating various foods that symbolize all the good things Jewish people hope to have in the upcoming year. The most popular holiday food is honey which people often use for dipping apples and bread into, and pray for a sweet New Year. Select from a large variety of beautiful honey gifts to make sure your dear recipients have a delightful and delicious year.

After apples and honey, Jewish challah bread is the second most important food symbol of Rosh Hashanah. This braided egg bread shaped like a crown symbolizes the cycle of the year, circle of life and continuity. Sometimes raisins or honey are added to the recipe in order to make the taste even sweeter.
