I did not realize there was a Rosh Hashonnah seder plate. I was a guest at a friend's home and her husband, a Rabbi, walked us through a beautiful seder and all of the wonderful prayers. Some of the foods were the same. There were 16 in all, I think. I wish I remembered it or could have taken notes. :-) I guess I'll just have to participate each year until I can remember? A yummy way to learn. Have a great new year. I think this is so amazing. I did not realize there was a Rosh Hashonnah seder plate.

Maybe it can symbolize my prayer that our new year be diverse and colorful and connected with the broad, wide world!
