Monthly Flower Delivery

Sending flowers for religious holidays has become a popular choice of gift, especially within the Jewish religion. Jewish festivals regularly feature flower decor within the home and Synagogue.

Rosh Hashanah is Hebrew for “head of the year” and is the celebration of Jewish New Year. The day falls on the first day of the Tishrei which is in the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar and in 2009, it will be celebrated on the 18th of September. It is one of the “Yamim Noraim” which means “days of awe”. This is a time when followers the Jewish faith repent for their wrongs through various customs and rituals. One of these rituals is the blowing of the Shofar, a goat?s horn. The day is one of rest as the Jewish faith observes Shabbat (the Sabbath) on all holidays.

Flowers for Rosh Hashanah
The presence of flowers is tradition on all Jewish holidays. These are used in table decorations during meals, around homes and in Synagogues. Flowers displayed throughout the holiday are always extremely fine and beautiful. Whilst there are no specific flowers traditionally sent at Jewish New year, some members of the religion favour blooms mentioned in the Torah.

Several Jewish prayers and songs mention thirteen leafed roses as a symbol of those following the faith. This flower can often be seen in elaborate and fine arrangements used during Rosh Hashanah. Apple Blossoms are also a popular choice; however these flowers are not as readily available as roses and other striking flora.

Judaism is symbolised by the colours blue, white and silver and these colours will often be interpreted into arrangements and bouquets during this festival. Ribbons of the traditional colours of the religion can be added to bouquets and arrangements and further complimented by candles.

Those looking for a gift to send to Jewish relatives, friends or colleagues on Rosh Hashanah can celebrate with flowers. Sending a flower gift on this holiday, whether Jewish or not, is a kind gesture which is always appreciated and always put to good use!

Orthodox members of the faith will not be permitted to sign for the delivery, cut the stems of the flowers or untie any ribbon or string due to Shabbat restrictions.
