Rosh HaShannah Qiddush

H Mahazor Hokhmath Israël - Rosh HaSha¨nna¨h I Yom Tov Qiddush & Simanim
F Rosh HaShannäh Qiddush yeciw dpyd y`x G

The Qiddush (Sanctification) is an ancient practice of Israel which comes from the Torah
commandment to keep the Shabbath & Festival Days Holy. ‘From where do we know it of the night?’... the
principal qiddush is recited at night, for when he sanctifies, he must sanctify [from] the beginning of the
day... Remember the Shabbath, day, to keep it holy’: remember it over the wine at its commencement.’ BT
Mas. Pesahim 106a. ‘A person is forbidden to eat or to drink wine from the commencement of the Shabbath
onward until he recites qiddush... It is a miswah that was instituted by our Sages to recite qiddush over [a
serving of] wine...’ RaMBaM MT Hilkhoth Shabbath 29,5&6. Subsequently, the Qiddush has been recited
after each Shabbath service l’il Shabbath, Shaharith and Minhah services .
This ritual originally, took place and still takes place in the home of Jews, however some have made
it a practice to recite the qiddush at the beth kennesseth for those who visited from out of town and stayed
over night for the Shabbath. As the HaZaL and RaMBaM explained, that qiddush usually is said over wine,
however it is our custom and preference to use uncooked wine for this purpose, ‘qiddush may be recited only
on wine that is suitable for a libation on the altar [at the Beth HaMikdash]... wine that was left uncovered, or
wine that was cooked, qiddush may not be recited on any of them.’ RaMBaM MT Hilkhoth Shabbath 29,14.
The practice of using wine in ancient times is found in the TaNaKh, ‘Use the money to buy whatever
you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household
shall eat there in the presence of the L-rd your Power and rejoice.’ Devarim/Deut 14,26. ‘...wine that
gladdens the hearts of men, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.’
Tehillim/Psalm 104,15. If wine is not available or may be harmful to ones heath, fresh pressed grape juice is
an acceptable substitute. Furthermore, if wine or grape juice is not available, one may say the qiddush over
the l’hem (bread).
‘If one should find themselves without wine & grape juice or should prefer bread, one may recite
qiddush over bread.’ MT Hilkhoth Shabbath 29,21. It is on the Shabbath that we remember the creation and
as children of The Most High, we also rest from our melakha (certain activities) from which we occupy
ourselves on during the six we are commanded to work. So, we begin with the reading of Bereshith in
relationship to recalling the creation and the sanctification of the Shabbath day. One must raise the cup with
their right hand while the reciting of ‘Yom ha-shishi.

Netilath Yadayim: is a ritualistic action of washing hands. This ritual should not be confused with
the hand washing of “ru’ah ra’ah” (washing of the ‘evil spirit’ form the hand). For according to HaZa”L
this action is not a ritualistic action, but a real physiological and sanitary action when disease is of concern.
“Netilath yadayim”, often translated as ‘the washing of hands’, really means the up lifting/raising of
hands. Therefore, it is extremely important to lift your hands above your shoulder while reciting the prayer.
Concerning the washing of our hands, it is our custom to lift the washing cup up with the right hand, and to
put the cup down with the left. We start by washing the right hand first, three times and then on to the left.
One should recite the blessing before washing the hands.
The issue of Hefseq (Interruption): It is the custom of some communities, that one must not talk
between saying the netilath and the eating the bread. However, this is not the halakha, for RaMBaM and the
sages teach, that one could respond to a request, regarding salting or other food matters, which would not
require one to leave the premise to fulfill a request, between saying the Netilath and the eating of bread.

“(Rab said: [If the host says to his guests,] Take [this], the benediction has been said, take, the
benediction [of netillah] has been said, he [the host] doesn’t need to say the benediction [again] If he said
[between the benediction and the eating], Bring salt, bring relish, he must say the benediction [of the
Netilath again]. R. Yohanan, however, said that even if he said, Bring salt, bring relish, the benediction
doesn’t need to be repeated)”, BT Mas. Berakhoth 40a. While it is our custom to keep silent, it isn’t
necessarily forbidden for one to speak, especially in matters pertaining to the miswah of Ha-mosi (blessing
of the bread).

H Seder Simanim I
Culturally, Rosh Hashanna Simanim, is certainly 'Soul Food' both literally and
symbolically. Throughout the history of mankind and across all cultures there have been the use of
symbols to express an awareness of the Creator and the creative forces that benefited mankind.
These expressions resulted in symbolic stories known as myths, legends or folklore, which
have been passed down to express abstract or moral ideas, such as truth, righteousness, honor, love,
wisdom, forgiveness and courage.
Our prophets and sages are not exempt from such innate human nature in expressing its
importance in spiritual refinement, victory over our foes and obtaining a closer relationship with
our Creator.
The prophet Yeshiyahu/Isaiah told his student named Barukh ben Neriya, ‘When you finish
reading this sefer, tie a stone onto it and cast it into the Euphrates and declare, ‘So shall Bavel sink
into oblivion!’ Isaiah 51:63
Another example of this is when Elisha ha-navi (the prophet), when he told the king to shoot
after touching his bow, and the king shot three times, immediately afterwards Elisha said, ‘this is an
arrow of salvation for The Power, an arrow of salvation against Aram’. 2 Kings 13:17
This is also repeated when we sit at a Pesah seder, Tu B'Shevat, Sukoth, etc… Our holy days
are replete with high spiritual symbolism.
We often call the acts of symbolism, rituals. Indeed a ritual can be passed down as a family
tradition, or as a community’s poseq’s “ruling” i.e. minhag.
Rosh HaShanna is no different than any other Yom Tov, it has its own ‘seder’ or order of
symbols, which are expressed through a selection of foods explained and taught by our sages.
“R. Abaye said, now that it has been told that omens are of significance, for a man should
make a regular habit of eating on Rosh HaShanna, qara = pumpkin or butternut squash, rubeya =
fenugreek (due to the scarcity of fenugreek, many communities today use black-eyed peas), karti =
leek, silka = spinach and tamri = dates.” Talmud Bavli, Mas. Horayoth 12a.
Additionally, in the Bavli Talmud, Masekhta Keritoth, says the same, but the only difference,
it speaks of gazing at these foods, instead of eating them. Our sages say that this teaches, even if
one couldn’t take part by eating, they’ve still fulfilled the miswah by gazing at them, however they
must say a blessing to seal the miswah.
Smoked black-eyed peas, spinach, savory leeks that are often found in stews and dishes, are
amongst the favorites in Afro-American/WAJD culture. This includes squash and pumpkin as
found in our famous butternut squash and pumpkin pies. Oh, lets not also forget the fried fish and
apple pies. All of which, are foods that make up the Rosh HaShannah seder or simanim. Last, but
not least, are the famous and delicious honey and pomegranates!
Dates, almonds and pecans are also among the sweet favorites found among the dishes of
U.S. Afram Jews. (Note, it is a custom of the Ashqenazim i.e. European Jews to refrain from eating
nuts during the Yomim Noraim/Days of Awe).
During this seder, it is customary to also have a dish made of an animal’s head, all except
for a goat’s head. The idea of such a dish is to remind us that we should remember, even in exile,
the promise and miswah to be the head and not the tail.
Now regarding the goat’s head, it was used during Yom Kippur to lay all of Israel’s sins
upon it. So, to eat it, would be like eating a dish made for the transgressions and sins of Israel.
Therefore, the goat’s head is not our custom, nor is it encouraged as a symbolic food.
So as we eat on this day, symbolically, we remember our sins, our purpose and our lot. Even
in this, The Power is with us, for we are not alone, "Do not fear, for I am with you. Don't be
discouraged, for I am your Power. I strengthen you, I helped you, I even now, I support you with
the right hand of My righteousness." Isaiah 41:10.

After eating the lehem, the seder should begin immediately.

Shaharith zixgy
Shaharith, means dawn, it comes from the root word for blackness or darkness xgy(shahur).
Shaharith pertains to the time when darkness is leaving and sunlight is becoming more prominent. For more
information about prayer and how it serves as a temporary substitute for the Temple offerings please read the
introduction section of this siddur entitled ‘Prayer’.
It was taught that Avraham avinu (our father) instituted the morning (Shaharith) offerings,
Bereshith/Gen 19,27 & BT Mas. Berakhoth 26b. As oppose to the weekly offerings, where there are two
mandatory offerings commanded for the weekday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, because of
our exile, the Sages reluctantly instituted the evening prayer (Arvith). The Shabbath and on Yom Tov (Festival
days) consist of three, due to the decree of Musaf (the additional offering). Therefore the Shaharith is the first
of the three offerings commanded by The Most High, according to Bamidbar/Numbers 28.
