And if you prefer to enjoy your holi-
day meals without meat, you may
want to pick up the Jewish Vegetarian
Year Cookbook by Roberta Kalechofsky
and Rosa Rasiel. You can read a review

But the bubbe (grandmother) of all
lists belongs to the newsgroup
rec.food.cuisine.jewish archives where
you will find almost two hundred
Rosh Hashanah recipes:
www.cyberkitchen.com/rfcj/category.
cgi?category=ROSH_HASHANAH
There are five challah recipes
(including whole-wheat-honey), 18
tsimmes varieties (among them
rhubarb and carrot) and an even larger
assortment of honey cakes (such as
Walnut Chocolate Chip.) If you're still

This year, on the second afternoon
of Rosh Hashanah, Jews will go to a
nearby stream or body of water to per-
form the ritual of Tashlich:
207.168.91.4/vjholidays/rosh/tash
lich.htm
Prayers are recited and sins are symbol-
icAly tossed into the depths. Some peo-
ple even shake out the hems of their
clothing while others toss breadcrumbs
into the waters. With that in mind, here's
a contemporary look at the custom,
Tashlich With Style: Fancy Bread to
Atone for Every Sin on Rosh Hashanah:
www.bethelsudbury.org/humor.htm
"Taking a few crumbs on Rosh
Hashanah to throw into the water for
the Tashlich ceremony from whatever
old bread is in the house lacks subtle-
ty, nuance and religious sensitivity.
Instead, this coming Rosh Hashanah
consider these options:
• For ordinary sins, use white bread.
• For sins committed in haste, matzah.
• For immodest dressing, tarts.
• For causing injury or damage to oth-
ers, tortes.
• For committing car theft, caraway.
• For being holier than thou, bagels.
• For sins of pride, puff pastry.
• For unfairly upbraiding another, challah.
• And for wearing tasteless hats, Tam Tams.
Enjoy your soul food and have a
very happy and healthy year. ❑
