Question
When do we eat the Simanim on Rosh Hashanah?
Answer
Shalom Rav and a blessed year
There are several customs:
A. The most common custom is to eat the Simanim on the first night of Rosh Hashanah. It is important to note that at the beginning of the meal, Kiddush is performed, hands are washed, and bread is eaten. Then the Simanim are eaten for a good year.
B. Some have the custom to eat the Simanim also on the second night of Rosh Hashanah.
C. And some have the custom to eat them also during the daytime meal.
And everyone should follow their custom, and may all be blessed with a good and sweet year.
