Nuts on Rosh Hashanah?
I was thinking the same thing! Some people use almonds but not walnuts. Maybe sunflower seeds or pine nuts would be a good exchange.
Walnuts, egoz is the gematria of chet so we avoid them. What’s the reason behind not eating all nuts?
Egozim means nuts not particularly walnut. Walnut is egoz melach
what is silan?
I made this for Rosh Hashanah. What a wonderful accompaniment to the apricot chicken tangine dish I made! Also keeps really well for leftovers.
