BeskrivelseRosh Hashanah seder plate consisting of a wheel thrown glazed plate, glazed, 8 pomegranate bowls glazed red and a handmade beehive honey pot with a wooden dipper. Each of the 8 Pomegranate bowls imprinted with Hebrew and English words: Pomegranate, Date, Gourd, Apple & Honey, Ram's Head, Beets, Leek and Beans.
A Rosh Hashanah seder is a uniquely Mizrahi tradition, where blessings are recited over a variety of symbolic foods such as dates, leeks, spinach, pomegranate, pumpkin, and cow or fish head. The ritual is known as a seder because the blessings are in a particular order (seder being the Hebrew word for order). The blessing for the pomegranate is "That we may be full of good deeds/commandments like the pomegranate."
Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) is celebrated in synagogues by hearing the shofar (ram's horn) blasts and a festival meal at home. It is customary to eat especially sweet foods to bless the New Year. Several sweet delicacies were served in Arab lands and Iran: naranjes, sharopi, maztapan, mustachidos, travados, sweet beurekitos with walnuts, sugar and honey, baklava and biscuits.
