Here is a guide plus some examples from our floral design collection available through our online flower shop and all of our San Diego florist locations.

Flowers for Rosh Hashanah

The Jewish New Year is celebrated from September 24 until September 26th and is known as Rosh Hashanah. Known as the Head of the Year, this special celebration is observed for two days. This time period is known as the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, which provides a connection between mankind and God. Celebrating the New Year The focus during this time is to reflect on this special relationship between God and mankind, including our own personal relationship with Him. Each year is a renewal of that relationship and connection. The observance of Rosh Hashanah includes sounding the shofar, which is the ram’s horn used to announce the coronation of the king and it also calls for repentance from sin. This signals ten days of repentance that then ends with Yom Kippur, known as the Day of Atonement. The horn is blasted 100 times over the course of Rosh Hashanah services as a reminder. Other parts of Rosh Hashanah include eating an apple dipped in honey and many special foods that symbolize the blessings of a New Year. Special prayers are also said along with candle lighting ceremonies. Flowers and Gifts for Rosh Hashanah We have a range of beautiful flower arrangements that can also grace the table during Rosh Hashanah or we can make custom flower arrangements, custom floral centerpieces and gifts. Our gift collection includes cards and balloons as well as gift baskets full of fresh fruit and other festive décor that you can use for your celebrations. Our flowers are the freshest available with a wide array of varieties to choose from, including some summer and fall flowers available to enjoy. Every flower arrangement is hand arranged by our team of talented floral designers. We [...]
