Regarding Ha-Motzi :
While it is customary at every meal to sprinkle salt on the bread used for Ha-Motzi or to dip the bread into salt , on Rosh Hashanah , we dip Challah in both salt and sugar ( or honey ), recognizing that each year is a mixture of the sweet and the bitter -- blessing and adversity . The year that has passed since October 7 , 2023 brought all but unbearable bitterness . We pray that in the new year and beyond , sweetness will prevail .
