Rosh Hashanah, which is Hebrew from “the head of the year”, is the Jewish New Year and a time for many to celebrate. The holiday is one of the holiest days on the Judaic calendar, marked by prayer and repentance. However once family and friends return from the synagogue, the customary dinner is filled with many traditions. To decorate your home and table for this special festival, stop into Robertson’s Flowers and pick out your unique and beautiful Rosh Hashanah florals.

The Rosh Hashanah dinner includes foods that are customary and have great significance. Challah bread is baked either in round loaves to symbolize the circle of life; or braided loaves which represent the manna given to the Israelites in the desert.  Apples dipped in honey represent wishes for a sweet new year ahead, and pomegranates are considered “new fruit”, to be eaten for the first time each season on Rosh Hashanah. 

The rich and homey colors of fall are perfect for the Rosh Hashanah table.  Autumn blooms and natural accents compliment the foods served and provide beautiful color. Whether looking for Rosh Hashanah florals for a centerpiece, of to decorate other parts of your home, you won’t find more striking arrangements than those at Robertson’s Flowers.
