Introduction 
This is a tradition in many
Jewish communities around the world. The origin of the Rosh Hashanah Seder
dates back in Jewish history to the Babylonian Talmud. There was a time when
Ashkenazi Jews from European origin did conduct a small Rosh Hashanah Seder
with a few symbolic foods. In contrast, the Sephardic Jews and Mizrahi Jews
from Asian and Middle-Eastern origins, continued holding Rosh Hashanah Seders
and actually increased the number of symbolic foods used at the Rosh Hashanah
Seders.
It is a
celebration that brings families together at the beginning of the New Year.
This festive meal includes a variety of foods of various names, shape or color
which reminds us of our greatest hope for the New Year. By conducting the Seder
and reciting the prayers with a full heart, one can arouse himself toward
repentance for Yom Kippur day.
The Rosh
Hashanah Seder is conducted before the evening meal on the first night of Rosh
Hashanah, and in Sephardic custom, on the second night as well.
