Get ready for Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) by baking an apple pastry while chatting with Rabbi Laurie Matzkin about the High Holidays.
The Jewish calendar is luni-solar, so the holidays begin in the evening, and continue through nightfall the next day. Rosh Hashanah kicks off with a festive evening meal, followed by another on the second night of the two-day holiday. Rosh Hashanah celebrates new beginnings, and what will hopefully be a sweet year, so foods like honey and apple are important menu features.
