It was our turn to run the Rosh Hashana seder with all those simanim. Being of North African descent my parents would prepare a different set of symbolic treats than most do, and we prepare them in a classically Tunisian manner. That would be to steep the vegetables into egg, followed by honey, followed by [...]
