Why do we eat round Challah on Rosh Hashana? What does it symbolize?
AskTheRabbi.org answered:
The round Challah symbolizes the "cycle of life". The year is a circle that comes round to its beginning point on Rosh Hashana and we eat a round Challah to emphasize that idea. By the way, it is also why we eat the apple as it, too, is round.
