The Jewish New Year falls on Thursday 3rd October this year, with celebrations beginning the evening before. The table is set, the candles are lit, and as the evening of 2nd October arrives, we welcome in the New Year with an embrace of sweet, symbolic flavours.
At Panzer’s, every product we prepare or source for Rosh Hashanah carries with it not just taste but a story steeped in tradition. This is a time of reflection, renewal, and community, and what better way to express it than through the art of gifting.
The Round Challah | The cycle of life
Baked round to remind us of life’s continuous cycle, its golden crust signals the start of something new. We bake each challah with care, in our off-site bakery. Delivered fresh every morning, this beautiful bread is ready to take center stage at your Rosh Hashanah feast.
Honey Cake | For a sweet new year
Ah, the honey cake. Sticky, rich, and spiced just so. This isn’t your everyday treat – this is a cake that holds four generations of Panzer’s history within its crumb. Our recipe, a closely guarded secret, ensures that each slice is moist and light, a perfect sweet to welcome a sweet new year.Â
Apples | Hardy and resilient, yet tender within
A symbol of the Jewish people’s perseverance, apples are the perfect metaphor for Rosh Hashanah. With over ten varieties, from Brodale’s finest and crisp Granny Smiths to fragrant Cox and sweet Golden Delicious, there’s something for every taste.Â
Pomegranate | Seeds of Righteousness
The pomegranate, with its deep ruby seeds, carries a powerful message. It is said to have 613 seeds, one for each of the commandments in the Torah. Gifting a pomegranate isn’t just about giving fruit—it’s about passing on blessings, an acknowledgment of the year that has been and a wish for prosperity in the year to come. Whether as part of a Panzer’s fruit basket or tucked into a Rosh Hashanah hamper, the pomegranate is as meaningful as it is beautiful.
Hampers & Fruit Baskets | Perfect Gifts
There’s a particular joy in giving something that feels curated, thoughtful, and rooted in tradition. Panzer’s Rosh Hashanah hampers and fruit baskets are just that. Filled with all the essentials—from challah and honey cake to pomegranates and artisanal honey—each hamper is a celebration in a box. Whether you’re thanking a host, gifting a loved one, or marking the season with something special, these are gifts that capture the spirit of Rosh Hashanah.
Honey | For the sweetest of new years
At Panzer’s, we’re proud to stock an incredible range of honeys, each with its own story and flavour. Our Panzer’s own brand honey is made in collaboration with a family-run farm in Lithuania that’s organic and pesticide-free. It’s pure, unfiltered perfection, with a taste that’s as rich in quality as it is in tradition. Beyond that, our shelves are filled with jars from independent producers around the world.
