OU Kosher<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0presents popular Q&As in preparation for Rosh Hashanah. Additional questions can be asked by contacting the\u00a0OU Kosher Hotline\u00a0<\/strong>(212-613-8241) or by submitting them to\u00a0kosherq@ou.org<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Q: THERE IS A LONG-ESTABLISHED\u00a0MINHAG<\/em> (CUSTOM) ON ROSH HASHANAH NIGHT TO DIP AN APPLE IN HONEY (SHULCHAN\u00a0ARUCH\u00a0OC: 583:3<\/em>). WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THIS CUSTOM TO EAT AN APPLE DIPPED IN HONEY?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0The Gemara (Krisus\u00a06a<\/em>) relates that it is customary to eat foods that have positive symbolism on Rosh Hashanah. We eat these foods and recite a prayer expressing our hope that we will be blessed in the coming year. The Maharil further explains our custom to eat specifically an\u00a0apple<\/em>\u00a0dipped in honey thus; \u201cWhen the Torah mentions the \u2018fragrance of the field\u2019 (Bereishit 27:27<\/em>) that Yitzchak includes in his blessing to Yaakov, this fragrance was the fragrance of apple orchards\u00a0(according to many\u00a0midrashim<\/em>, this occurred on Rosh Hashanah [Biur HaGra<\/em>]), and apple orchards have Kabbalistic significance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Q: ISN\u2019T THERE A RULE THAT WHAT COMES FROM A NON-KOSHER ANIMAL IS NON-KOSHER? SINCE A BEE IS NON-KOSHER, HOW CAN HONEY BE KOSHER?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0The Gemara (Bechoros<\/em>\u00a07b) cites two opinions as to why bee\u2019s honey is permitted.\u00a0 The\u00a0Chachamim<\/em>\u00a0explain that honey is permitted because it is not a secretion. Rather, honey is the collected nectar in a different form, which is expelled from the bee.\u00a0 Rebbi Yaakov says that the permissibility of bee\u2019s honey is derived from a\u00a0Talmudic exegesis of the verse in\u00a0<\/em>Vayikra<\/em>\u00a0(11:21):\u00a0 \u201cHowever, this you may eat from among all the flying insects\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: STANDARD RETAIL HONEY IS FILTERED AND REFINED. CAN I USE UNFILTERED HONEY FOR ROSH HASHANAH, OR MUST I BE CONCERNED ABOUT BEE\u00a0PARTICLES THAT MAY HAVE REMAINED?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0Clear unfiltered honey typically undergoes some rudimentary refining steps, and most likely any bee particles will have been removed. As such, it is acceptable for use without further filtration. Nonetheless, since the honey is translucent, if you spot any particles, they should be removed. Particles can be removed on Yom Tov. On Shabbat, to\u00a0avoid the\u00a0issur\u00a0<\/em>of\u00a0borer<\/em>\u00a0(prohibition of separating), some honey must be removed with the particle. If the honey is opaque, it most likely has not been filtered or refined at all. Opaque honey should be filtered before use. Filtering should be performed before Yom Tov or Shabbat.<\/p>\n

Q: I HAVE HEARD RUMORS THAT HONEY MAY BE ADULTERATED. DO I HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0Although there are reports of adulteration in honey, the reports have not been substantiated. Furthermore, the alleged adulterants, even if present, are kosher sweeteners. For Pesach, one should look for Passover certified honey.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Q: CAN I USE HONEY FROM A HONEYCOMB ON ROSH HASHANAH?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, honey may be used directly from a honeycomb. Since this honey would be unfiltered any noted particles should be removed (see question regarding unfiltered honey above).\u00a0 Extracting honey from a honeycomb involves the\u00a0issur<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0mifarek<\/em>\u00a0(prohibition of extraction), therefore one should crush the honeycomb before Yom Tov or Shabbat (Mishnah Berurah, 321:48<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 WHAT IS THE PROPER ORDER OF THE\u00a0BRACHOS<\/em>\u00a0(BLESSINGS) AND THE\u00a0YEHI RATZON<\/em>\u00a0(\u2018MAY IT BE YOUR WILL\u2019) THAT IS RECITED WHEN THE APPLE IS DIPPED IN HONEY?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Before eating the honey dipped apple, one should say the usual\u00a0bracha<\/em>\u00a0over fruit (ha\u2019etz).\u00a0 Then, to avoid speaking unnecessarily between the\u00a0bracha<\/em>\u00a0and partaking of the food, one should take a bite of the apple before reciting the\u00a0yehi ratzon\u00a0<\/em>(Mishnah Berurah<\/em>583:4).\u00a0 This applies to the\u00a0yehi ratzon<\/em>\u00a0for challah, which is also dipped in honey, as well as any other fruits\/vegetables that will be served for the purposes of a\u00a0yehi ratzon<\/em>.\u00a0 It should be noted that if any of those other fruits is a member of the\u00a0sheva<\/em>minim<\/em>\u00a0(seven species attributed by the Torah to the land of Israel), they should not be brought to the table until after partaking of the apple.<\/p>\n

Q:\u00a0 IN ADDITION TO FOODS DIPPED IN HONEY, ARE THERE OTHER SYMBOLIC CUSTOMS FOR ROSH HASHANAH?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0 The following is an abbreviated list of food items that are customary to eat on Rosh Hashanah. Many of their symbolic meanings stem from root of their Hebrew, Aramaic or Yiddish terms.<\/p>\n

The first three items are representative of our request of G-d to increase our\u00a0mitzvos\u00a0<\/em>and merits as well as for the growth of our nation due to their associations with abundance and proliferation.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pomegranates- due to their abundance of seeds<\/li>\n
  2. Fenugreek \u2013\u00a0rubya<\/em>\u00a0[Aramaic] whose root word means to increase (Shulchan Aruch\u00a0<\/em>C. 583)<\/li>\n
  3. Carrots \u2013\u00a0meheren<\/em>\u00a0[Yiddish] whose root word means many (Chayei Adam 138:6).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The next three represent our request of G-d to protect us from our enemies, and\/or our fervent prayer that our sins be nullified, by their connection to the concept of cessation.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Leeks \u2013\u00a0karsee\u00a0<\/em>[Aramaic] whose root word means to cut off.<\/li>\n
    2. Dates \u2013\u00a0tamarim<\/em>\u00a0[Hebrew] the root of which is\u00a0tam\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 to cease.<\/li>\n
    3. Beets \u2013\u00a0silka\u00a0<\/em>[Aramaic] whose root word means to remove<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Many also eat fish as a symbol of being fruitful and multiplying like the fish in the sea.\u00a0 Additionally, there is a concept of being protected from the evil eye when one is out of view.\u00a0 Fish in particular have been referenced as being hidden in the sea and therefore concealed from the evil eye.<\/p>\n

      Q:\u00a0 ARE THERE ANY FOODS THAT SOME CUSTOMARILY AVOID DURING THIS PERIOD?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Some people do not eat nuts because the Hebrew word for nut is\u00a0egoz,\u00a0<\/em>which has the same numerical value as\u00a0chet (<\/em>sin).\u00a0 Furthermore, nuts have a predisposition to cause an increase in saliva and mucus which may disturb one\u2019s concentration during prayers. (Rama<\/em>O. C. 583:2).\u00a0 Others have a custom not to eat sour or bitter foods such as sour pickles (Mateh\u00a0Ephraim<\/em>, 583:3).<\/p>\n

      ***<\/em><\/p>\n

      Pas Yisroel During<\/strong>\u00a0Aseres Yimei Teshuva<\/em><\/strong>
      \n(Ten Days of Repentance)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      The Shulchan Aruch writes that one should be careful\u00a0to only eat\u00a0Pas Yisroel<\/em>\u00a0during the\u00a0Aseres Yimei Teshuva<\/em>\u00a0(Ten Days of Repentance), even if one does not do so the rest of the year (O.C. 603). Some are careful to eat\u00a0Pas Yisroel<\/em>\u00a0exclusively on Shabbat and Yom Tov as well (Mishna Berurah 242:6<\/em>).<\/p>\n

      Q: WHICH ITEMS ARE CONSIDERED\u00a0PAS\u00a0<\/em>(BREAD-LIKE ITEMS) WITH RESPECT TO THIS\u00a0MINHAG\u00a0<\/em>(CUSTOM)?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      \u00a0A:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0<\/em>minhag<\/em>\u00a0applies to breads,\u00a0cakes, pies, pretzels and crackers. (In technical terms, it applies to all\u00a0pas habo bikisnin<\/em>.) For an in-depth explanation of\u00a0pas habo bikisnin<\/em>, see our article \u2013\u00a0The Mezonos Roll, Is it a Piece of Cake?<\/a><\/p>\n

      Q: WHAT ABOUT BREAKFAST CEREALS? MUST THEY BE\u00a0PAS YISROEL<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      A:<\/strong>\u00a0There are differing opinions as to whether Cheerios is considered\u00a0pas<\/em>. The OU\u00a0poskim<\/em>\u00a0do not consider it\u00a0pas<\/em>, because of the size of the individual pieces and the manner in which it is made.\u00a0 Likewise, wheat flake cereals and wafers are not considered \u201cbread-like\u201d and therefore do not need to be\u00a0pas Yisroel<\/em>. Corn and Rice Cereals are, by definition, not bread items.<\/p>\n

      Q: DO PIE SHELLS NEED TO BE\u00a0PAS YISROEL<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      \u00a0A:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes. A pie shell fits into the category of \u201cpas ha\u2019bah b\u2019kisnin<\/em>\u201d (refer to the\u00a0OUKosher.com\u00a0<\/em>article mentioned above for a definition of this term) and therefore should also be\u00a0Pas Yisroel<\/em>. However, if one purchases pie shells that are not fully baked, then they will become\u00a0Pas Yisroel<\/em>\u00a0when one completes the baking process. One should not use non-Pas Yisroel<\/em>\u00a0graham crackers to make their own pie shells.. Those pie shells that require further baking before being consumed become\u00a0pas Yisroel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

      Q: WHAT ABOUT BREAD CRUMBS? DO THEY NEED TO BE\u00a0PAS YISROEL<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      \u00a0A:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, bread crumbs should be\u00a0Pas Yisroel<\/em>\u00a0as well. There were\u00a0poskim<\/em>\u00a0who were lenient regarding bread crumbs that are used for deep frying. This is because frying is a different process than baking and the deep frying is viewed as the completion of the bread crumb preparation (see\u00a0Teshuvos\u00a0Avnei Nezer Y.D. 100<\/em>). Since this is a matter of dispute, unless there is a pressing need,\u00a0Pas Yisroel<\/em>\u00a0bread crumbs should be used.<\/p>\n
