Most people eat an apple dipped in honey, and other of the simanim found in the machzor, on the first night of Rosh Hashana. Some people eat their own made up simanim also, for example, celery with rasins as a siman to have a raise in salary. Does anyone have other interesting simanim ideas?
A Half a rasin n Celery
We ate baby carrots for the first several years of our marriage until our first child was born.
Yes. Eggs – we should break our enemies’ eggs (vehamayvin yavin).
I eat green peas, so that the whales should have a good year.
2 years ago we ate the head of a SHEEP!!(or maybe a lamb….!!!EEWW i didnt go near it!! we also eat black eyed peas!!….;)
Whatever sounds like it works.
Gum ball I have a friend who also eats black eyed peas…. Whats the simian for it?
Im not so sure…
we did the sheep head once. all the neighborhood kids came to see. i threw the pot away after using it to cook the head.
ewwwwwwwwwwwww
i tried to get smoked whitefish chubs but could not find any. only the big ones.
Chup, it’s called Rubia in some language. The Yahi Ratzon is similar to the one on carrots.
I was at my cousins once in Williamsburg, they served the head of the fish, and the kids were literally fighting who gets to eat the “bally”, (they all wanted the eye ball!!) EEEEEW!!
BaalHabooze-I CANT STOP LAUGHING!! THESE KIDS ARE WACKO!! by us t wud be fighting that u need 2 eat it even though ur grossed out from looking at it!! what did they do they cut the eyeblall and split it in2 parts so tht everyone cud get their share of the BALLY?!?!!??

So their enemies get black eyes.
Presumably we shouldn’t eat old Simanim that relate to random languages that we don’t speak anymore. I try to only do the Hebrew and English Simanim as those are my languages.
squeak, lol.
“Whats the simian for it?”
As we are not related to the apes, we cannot know what words, or sounds, or signs they have–if any–for blackeyed peas, or any other siman. Maybe Dian Fossey or Jane Goodall wrote it down somewhere.
BTW, my m-i-l, she should live and be well, always ate the fish eye but would leave one for whichever grandchild wanted it, as long as there were no fights resulting in blackeyed kids. She is over 90, k9ahara, so maybe there are unknown benefits to this custom. Can’t hurt to try it, right?
Gefilte fish, so you should be filled with blessing throughout the year.
Bezalel; black eye peas is actually “Rubiya”
we have
apple_honey,
pomegranate,
Rosh Keves or Rosh Dag,
black eye peas,
beets,
leek,
spinach,
carrots,
all simanim
among other things.
Banana = Bon Annu (sp?) = ??? ????
Leek-for urinary tract health. Black eyed peas- for their continued success. A half baked challah – so I can raise some dough.
How about these:
olives and peas- “we should ALL LIVE IN PEACE”
or: sole fish and rice- “may our SOULS RISE and be elevated to new spiritual heights
or (for all you dieters out there): a thin fig- “to have a SLIM FIGure (okay, now THAT was my WIFE’S)
don’t forget to have a Shehechiyanu for the second night! We usually have a star fruit or chinese apple.
Thanks, BH. There’s someone in Montreal (French Canada) who actually eats it.
When I was still in school, I’d take a piece of bread so I should pas my exams.

The simanim can be incorporated into the actual meal, rather than the forshpeiz, because otherwise, no one is hungry for all the good food that follows.
olive and peas- “we should ALL LIVE IN PEACE”
I like that one!
Ps The way many men’s shirts look tight and bursting today is a sure siman of a 3-day Yomtov…!
