What are Simanim?

Simanim are symbolic foods that are traditionally added to your Rosh Hashanah table spread. Eating them will help ensure you have a good and sweet new year. 

Use this list to add to your table this year, and then download one of our alternative Simanim rituals, like the Mental Health Simanim by Blue Dove Foundation or this Simanim Seder.
