Apples and Honey
Apples and Honey (Waltzing Matilda – Banjo Paterson, Christina Macpherson)
The first day of Tishrei is called Rosh Hashana
That’s the Jewish New Year for you and me
We’ll go to the synagogue and pray to Hashem
Then we will have apples and honey.
Chorus: Apples and honey, apples and honey
A sweet New Year for all families
We’ll go to the synagogue and pray to Hashem
Then we will have apples and honey.
There are many foods that we eat on the New Year
We ask to be blessed with health and prosperity
The one that I love has the sweetest taste of them all
When you dip the apples in the honey. Chorus…
We blow the shofar except if it’s the Sabbath day
Let’s all do teshuva , one, two, three,
Then we’ll go home make motzee on the round chollee
Everyone will dip the apples in the honey. Chorus…
Before you know it all our sins are gone
Inscribe us for a good life says our family
Then we’ll take the foods that symbolize all good things
And we’ll dip the apples in the honey. Chorus…
