We’ve got the perfect way to serve the simanim and a beautiful simanim card download!
New edited version for 2021!
There’s a lot of things we love about this Rosh Hashanah table. First…those perfectly portioned simanim. No more passing around the bowls and checking if everyone received a portion/piece. Plus…don’t the simanim, when served this way, make the table so pretty?
(And yes, those most adorable ever apple-shaped personal honey dishes from Set Your Table totally help). See below for the sources of all the dishes used in this tablescape.
Next, what about when it’s time to say the “Yehi Ratzons” for the simanim. Don’t you wish you had a card for each person, rather than passing around the machzorim?
Now, you do, with this free (and gorgeoussssss) simanim menu card from Between Carpools!

Note that every family has different customs, so not all the simanim represented here may be relevant to you. (You may use others that we haven’t included.)
- 3 large leeks (or 4 small ones white & green parts only)
- water, as needed
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3-4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon bread crumbs or matzah meal
- salt, to taste
- 1 pinch sugar
- oil for frying
- Cut off the dark green part off the leeks and discard. Slice the leeks in half lengthwise and wash thoroughly. Cut the leek into strips and dice.
- Place leeks into a pot with enough water to cover. Add oil and bring to a boil.
- Drain very, very well, pressing out excess water.
- Add eggs, crumbs, salt, and sugar. Form the batter into patties.
- Pour a thin layer of oil into a skillet over medium heat and bring to a frying temperature. Slip patties into hot oil and fry until browned on one side. Flip patties and brown the other side.
- Serve at room temperature or cold.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Wrap however many beets you might need in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place beets into a baking pan; roast for about 1 hour. Beets are ready when they can be pierced with a fork. Let cool. (You can do this step ahead of time. Roasted beets will stay fresh, refrigerated, for 3–4 days.) Unwrap beets. Peel and cut into large cubes.

Can’t seem to print the download simonim card- is it missing the link or am I doing something wrong ?????
Leah Schapira says
Seems ok on our end. Click the link once and give it a minute to download.
Tzivie says
The English version doesn’t download
Avigail says
is there a gluten-free flour that would work for the leek patties- almond flour maybe?
Leah Schapira says
Any flour should work. The batter should be very runny and will hold when you fry it.

Can the leek patties be frozen?
Leah Schapira says
Yes they can. Just lay them on a flat baking sheet and rewarm in a preheated oven for a few minutes.
Dinah says
Where can you print these cards on card stock paper that has a matte finish? Bp graphics card stock paper has a slight shine to it.
Yocheved says
Try the stamp studio in Lakewood. They can for sure print the cards and they have beautiful paper!
Yocheved says

Hello! So lovely – thank you for the gorgeous inspiration. I cannot find the right sized rectangle plates anywhere… the CB2 ones are much larger proportions. Do you have any suggestions?

Can simonim be served at any meal or just first night?

It’s customary to serve them on the first night. However please ask your LOR.

The Sephardi version is the exact copy of the Ashkanaz? Any chance you have Sephardi seimanim cards? Thank you

Ayelet May says
If you’re interested in revising these beautiful cards, there are a number of typos that I’d be happy to point out, if you’d like. Thank you for creating something so useful and aesthetically pleasing!

Where can I get the mini apple shaped dishes?
Ilana says
Are the cards available in English, for those guests who don’t speak Hebrew? Also, is there an alternative for pomegranate? We have someone not allowed to eat that.
Lori Heisler says
Were you able to get this in English? It is stunning and I’d love to have them on my holiday table this year!
Yc says
Just printed the cards and can’t wait to use them on my table. However it should be mentioned that the cards may be “Shaimos” as it says Hashem name by pomegranate.
ItamarB says
Where did you get the pomegranate and apple little plates? They are stunning!
Jaya Nahmiyas says
Hi. Do you have a link or any info on where to buy the individual apple dishes you show on the simanim plate on the post below? I looked at the Herend web site and couldn’t find. Thank you!
