Rosh Hashana Chocolate Gifts

Something sweet for the hosts' table. Gift giving isn't required on Rosh Hashanah, but arriving with a sweet food gift is warmly customary, since the whole holiday centers on wishing each other a sweet new year. A Kosher Pareve chocolate box can be served right at the meal.

Because holiday dinners are usually meat meals, and dairy desserts can't follow them in a kosher home. Pareve chocolate contains no dairy and no meat, so your gift can be opened and served right after the main course instead of being put away for later.

Handmade Kosher Pareve chocolates in holiday packaging, in a fifteen piece and a thirty two piece size. The larger box includes gourmet truffles and marzipan among the flavors. Both are dairy-free and made in the Fames Chocolates workshop in Brooklyn for the new year season.

Before the holiday begins. Rosh Hashanah starts at sundown, and many observant families step away from deliveries once yom tov comes in, so aim for arrival a few days ahead. Ordering a week or more out keeps you clear of the pre-holiday shipping rush.

Both work, and they say the same thing. Honey and apples symbolize the sweet year everyone is wishing for, and chocolate carries the identical message in a form the whole table shares after dinner. Plenty of families bring one of each and nobody has ever complained.
