HOW TO DIP AN APPLE IN HONEY
The dipping of an apple in honey is actually a part of hamotzi or the prayer over the bread. So in order to perform the apple in honey ritual, it's best to be familiar with the hallah ritual.
We begin with two, unsliced, round holiday hallot. While on the table, they should be covered with a hallah cover designed for that purpose. Remove the cover, lift the two hallot placing the flat sides together, and recite the hamotzi blessing:
,בָּרוּךְ אַתָה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָוֹלָם הַמוֹצִא לֶחֶם מִן הָאָרֶץ
Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh haolam hamotzi lehem min ha'aretz |
Praised are you, Adonai our God, who rules the universe who brings forth bread from the earth
|
יְהִי רָצוֹנ מִלְּפָנֶיךָ יְיָ אֱלֹקֵינוֹ וֵאלֹקֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ שֶׁחְתַדֵּשׁ עָלֵינוֹ שָׁנָה טוֹבָה וּמְתוּקָה
Yehi ratzon milfanekha, Adonai Eloheinu Veilohei avoteinu, shetehadeish aleinu shana tova umetukah
|
May it be Your will. O Lord our God and God of our ancestors to renew us for a year that is good and sweet |
Either the apples or the hallah can be dipped into the honey. |
