Five of these blessings are over vegetables -- apples (candied or dipped in sugar or honey), leeks, beet greens or spinach, dates, and zucchini or squash. These blessings symbolize their hopes for the New Year. Many of these Jews trace their ancestors back to Spain, which is called Sepharad in the Bible. Over the centuries, the Sephardic Jews took advantage of the abundance of vegetables available in the Mediterranean countries, often throughout the year. Among these vegetables are sweet potatoes and squash, great favorites of my family. The special blessing you can say over your sweet potatoes and squash at the beginning of your Rosh Hashanah dinner goes like this: Yehi ratzon mi-le-faneha Adonai Eloheinu ve-lo-hei avoteinu she-tik-rah ro-a gezar dinenu ve-yi-karehu lefa-neha za-hee-yo-teinu. May it be thy will, Lord our God and God of our fathers, that you should tear up any evil decree and let only our merits be read before You. Equipment: Vegetable peeler. Sharp paring knife, Wooden spoon, Frying pan, Mixing bowl, Aluminum foil, Oblong casserole dish (about 9 by 13 inches). Adult: Preheat oven to 375F. Peel the squash. Child: Peel the sweet potatoes or yams. Then carefully cut both the sweet potatoes and squash into 1-inch cubes. Place most of the oil in the casserole. Add the sweet potatoes and bake, covered with aluminum foil, about 20 minutes. Adult: Take out the hot dish from the oven and carefully remove the foil. Child: Add the squash and the cranberries or cherries. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on top and dribble with the remaining oil. Adult: Bake uncovered at 3750 for 30-35 minutes, or until well browned. Serve over roast chicken or pot roast. Note: If your family likes onions, add one, sautied in the oil until soft, to the sweet potatoes before baking. Serves 6.
