The Hebrew words say "a sweet new year" - part of the traditional greeting. The holiday starts tonight at sundown. May it be a year that brings good health, and peace to all.
Honey cake is traditional - also apples with honey (for the "sweet" part). I enjoyed baking this morning.
Round challah (instead of the regular braid) with raisins. More for the "sweet" part. The round shape reminds us of the crown ("keter"), a symbol for God as "king". There are other explanations for this as well.
If you would like to learn more about this Jewish holiday, there is good information online. Try this Wikipedia link or Chabad.
