Answer to Question 2

For Rosh Hashanah, the challah is baked in a round shape that symbolizes life without end and a year of uninterrupted health and happiness. In some communities, the challah is formed like a bird representing God's protection. Apples are dipped in honey, and a special prayer is said for a sweet and pleasant year. Some families traditionally consume the head of a fish or of a sheep, with the wish that God's will for them is to be at the head, not the tail, of any undertakings in the upcoming year. Foods with Hebrew names similar to other words may also be eaten, such as beets (similar to remove and used to pray that enemies be removed). On the second night a new fruit, one that hasn't been consumed for a long period of time, is enjoyed with a prayer for a year of plenty. Often, the fruit is a pomegranate, which reputedly contains 613 seeds, the same as the number of commandments listed in the Torah. No sour or bitter foods are served on this holiday, and special sweets and delicacies, such as honey cakes, are usually prepared.
