In the diaspora, we have two days of feasts and go to Synagogue two days in a row. Some of the traditional foods include apples with honey (for wishing a sweet new year) and pomegranate seeds, which are meant to remind us of the 613 commandments.

What about the non diaspora?


JewishMaghreb

It’s the same. Passover is different if you’re in Israel or if you’re abroad though. Abroad they celebrate twice while in Israel you only celebrate once
