Comments: Apples and Honey for the Jewish New Year During Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), it is traditional to eat apples dipped in honey, to symbolize our hopes for a "sweet" new year. The apple is dipped in honey, the blessing for eating tree fruits is recited, the apple is tasted, and then the apples and honey prayer is recited: Barukh atah Adonai, Elohaynu, melekh ha-olam Blessed are you, Lord, our God, king of the universe borei priy ha-eitz. (Amen) who creates the fruit of the tree. (Amen) Take a bite from the apple dipped in honey, then continue with the following: Y'hee ratzon mee-l'fanekha, Adonai Elohaynu v'elohey avoteynu May it be Your will, Lord our God and God of our ancestors sh'tichadeish aleinu shanah tovah um'tuqah. that you renew for us a good and sweet year. (Amen)
