A Delicious Dish for Healthy, Happy New Year

On September 10, 1999, sundown signals the start of Rosh Hashanah, a two-day religious hoiday otherwise known as the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah is both a solemn and joyous occasion. It is a time for personal introspection and spiritual renewal, but also is a time for gathering with family and friends for a festive meal. Apples and honey, along with other sweet vegetable dishes, are traditional fare during the holiday, as they signify the hope for a sweet year. In Yiddish folklore, because carrots are associated with gold coins, carrot tzimmes is eaten as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune. This holiday, wish everyone a sweet, happy and healthy year with Carrots Tzimmes. This traditional recipe and others can be found at the High Holy Days website.
