Rosh Hashanah Party
Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year when all who are faithful look back at the previous years mistakes and make plans for a better life in the year ahead. It is traditionally customary to celebrate the sweetness of the New Year by honey dipped apples, pomegranates, and honey cake desserts. The Shofar, which is a rams horn blown somewhat like a trumpet, will be sounded a total of one hundred times each day.
For an interesting twist with themes take the Rosh Hashanah party supplies mixed with another theme. A popular way to spend the holiday is to go to running water, such as a river and empty your pockets into it. Explain to your guests the history of this very special holiday. Why not set up a picnic on a table nearby with foods like apples and bread dipped in honey and decorated with Rosh Hashanah decorations. This makes for easy clean up before you beginning planning for the next big holiday, Yom Kippur. This can be fun and educational as well.
