Step 1: Set the Rosh Hashanah Table
It is traditional to use a white tablecloth for Rosh Hashanah, just like on other Jewish holidays and the Sabbath. Setting the table with your best china and silver enhances the holiday mood.

Two covered loaves of challah should be set on the table. Round challah loaves are often used on Rosh Hashanah to symbolize a perfect, cyclical year to come. Some also like to serve challah loaves with raisins inside for added sweetness. The challahs should be covered with a cloth.

Apples, cut into slices, should also be on the table.

A bowl of honey should be near the challah and the apples.

Lastly, each family head should have a kiddush cup. A bottle of kosher wine and/or grape juice should also be on the table.
