Why apples and honey specifically?  Paradox of Rosh Hashanah- Are we praying for our needs or Coronating GD?             It’s about the connection that everything I do (even exercise) is for GD     It will allow us to achieve our potential and meet all our needs!  Judge people favorably and GD will do the same - He judges us like a father showing love to his children  Our prayers should be answere...
