SOMERS, N.Y. The start of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, is described by Somers Rabbi Fred Schwalb as the day when God takes tally of your behavior and decides your fate for the coming year. On Rosh Hashanah, we eat and we pray, he said.
Rabbi Eytan Hammerman of Mahopacs Temple Beth Shalom explains it is traditional to eat honey and sweet foods at Rosh Hashanah. In connection with this, Michael Bruen of Southeasts White Oak Apiary visited the synagogue Wednesday to talk about honey-making and distribute samples of the various types produced by the bees of Southeast.
