People who know me, know that I am an eater. I think about food all the time, even when I am eating it. Now, put my family in one room, add a holiday to that, and look below to see what that looks like!
Rosh Hashanah
The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of a sweet new year. We eat apples and honey to represent the sweetness of the year to come. Traditionally my family and I would go to synagogue and hear the Shofar and then go throw bread in a flowing body of water to cast away our sins. (look it up here_) Most importantly, it is a time to get together with friends and family and celebrate together with food and love.

Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur (for info, click the link_) occurs eight days after Rosh Hashanah (yay another party). This is the day of atonement and to think about your sins through a 24 hour fast. On Yom Kippur, the family gathers around for a big meal at sundown to start the fast. Then we come together again on the following sundown to break the fast with a breakfasty type meal (bagels, lox, eggs, etc).

I hope everyone is having a great start of the year and whether you celebrate or not, think about what you are sorry for and what you want to gain in the new year. My goals for the new year are to indulge and relax in bubble baths and to exercise. What about you? Happy Sunday xoxo
