Grandma Ethel's Brisket with Tzimmes

Recipe


L'Shana Tova

"Rosh" is the Hebrew word for "head", "ha" is the definite article ("the"), and "shanah" means year. Thus "Rosh HaShanah" means 'head of the year', referring to the Jewish day of new year.

"At Rosh Hashanah dishes like apples and honey and other sweet vegetable dishes are traditionally eaten with the hope for a good New Year."
- Joan Nathan, in 'Jewish Cooking in America
