WHY HONEY?

Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish new year. Honey is one of the Rosh Hashanah staples.

1. MANNA
Honey is associated with the manna—described in the Torah as being "like honey wafers"—provided by God during the 40 years that the Israelites wandered the desert. It is supposed to remind Jews that any sustenance or material benefits that come their way are solely dependent upon God's grace and favor.

2. BEES
Honey symbolizes the dual role of bees—feared for their sting, but prized for the sweetness they provide—reminiscent of the image of a stern but merciful creator.

3. AS OLD AS WRITTEN HISTORY
Honey was the sweetener of choice in biblical times; neither sugar nor maple syrup were known to the ancient Israelites. Honey, on the other hand, is at least as old as written history; it was mentioned in Sumerian and Babylonian cuneiform writings, and other ancient texts going back 4,000 years!
