Rosh Hashanah Dinner Menu: Traditional Sephardi Seder
Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews start the Rosh Hashanah meal with a series of symbolic foods.
- Four Rosh Hashanah Menus
- Rosh Hashanah Dinner Menu: Contemporary Israeli
- Rosh Hashanah Dinner Menu: Asian With an Israeli Twist
- Rosh Hashanah 2018 Dinner Menu: Traditional Ashkenazi
Each of the foods, including black eyed pea, squash, pomegranate and dates, are accompanied by a blessing, called Yehi Ratzones (Yehi ratzon, meaning “May it be your will” in Hebrew), based on their name in Hebrew or Arabic.
This opens a window of opportunity of making a whole meal based on these food items, all of them in season now.
It also gives the beginning of the new year a new meaning.
The following recipes all contain foods represented in the blessings.
Einat Admony’s butternut squash and saffron soup
Beet and pomegranate seed salad
Fresh black-eyed pea salad with bulgur
Roasted chicken and eggplant in date and pomegranate molasses
Here are the accompanying blessings.
