    1. Title: Apple only on 2nd night of Rosh Hashanah
      Author: False == 1 ? Anonymous : Chaim Simons &##44;

      <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I recollect that my grandmother had the custom to eat apple dipped in honey on the 2nd night of Rosh Hashanah and not on the 1st night, and I assume she had this custom from Poland where she was born. A possible reason for this is that unlike today when apples are on the market throughout the year, in those days in Poland, they were seasonal, and it was at Rosh Hashanah time that they became available. To avoid the shehecheyanu problem on the 2nd night of Rosh Hashanah, one takes a new fruit. Quite possibly the apple was the new fruit and for this reason eating an apple dipped in honey was delayed until the 2nd night.</span></span></span></p>
