Apples

In Judaism, apples are a symbol of the people's connection to God. They represent the faith in God that the Jewish people showed when they chose to accept the mitzvot and carry them out.

They are symbols of beauty, sweetness and the hope for prosperity. The hardiness of the fruit and its durability represent strength and growth.

Apples are considered the "king of all fruits" because they look good, smell good, and taste good.

Because of the many layers of symbology of the fruit, we eat apples in many ways, on many holidays. At Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, Jewish people dip apples into honey to symbolise their hopes for a sweet year ahead. During passover, Ashkenazi Jews use apples to make charoset, a representation of the mortar used to construct buildings for the Pharoah. Apples can also be used to celebrate Tu Bishevat, the date on the Jewish calendar that celebrates the symbolic birthday of trees.
