3 reviewsA simanim card is a printed or acrylic card displaying each of the Rosh Hashanah symbolic foods together with its bracha and Yehi Ratzon prayer, so everyone at the table can recite the blessings correctly. Waterdale simanim cards range from die-cut apple and pomegranate designs to lucite, marble-look, and hand-painted styles that double as place-setting decor.
Each Yehi Ratzon is a short prayer built on a play of the food's name — dates (tamar) that harm be finished (yitamu), pomegranates that our merits multiply like its seeds. Reciting them turns the first meal of the Jewish New Year into a series of blessings for the year ahead, which is exactly why the full text sits beside each siman on the card.
One card can serve the whole table, but many hosts set a simanim card at each place setting so every guest can follow the brachos and Yehi Ratzon texts without waiting for a machzor to be passed around. Card sets — like the Classic 2.0 and Diamond simanim card sets — are designed exactly for this, and they double as elegant Rosh Hashanah place cards.
The core Yehi Ratzon texts are largely shared, but Sephardic communities (Edut Mizrach) often conduct a fuller simanim seder with additional foods, while the Ashkenazi custom typically centers on the apple in honey and a shorter list. Choose a simanim card whose text and order match your family's minhag — designs vary in which simanim they include.
This collection spans die-cut apple and pomegranate simanim cards, hand-painted cards by Batya and Zelda, toile and honeycomb prints, marble-round and artistic designs, a color-it acrylic simanim card for kids, and a leather simanim pouch and card set — from playful to heirloom, there's a card for every Rosh Hashanah tablescape.
Yes — acrylic and leather simanim cards are made to return to the Yom Tov table year after year. Acrylic wipes clean of honey and wine in seconds, and the leather pouch set stores flat with your Rosh Hashanah tableware, making it a one-time purchase that becomes part of the family's holiday routine.
A simanim card set is one of the most-loved Rosh Hashanah hostess gifts — useful the very night it's received, beautiful on the table, and reusable every year. The leather simanim pouch and card set arrives ready to gift for a new home, a first Yom Tov as hosts, or a thank-you before the seuda.
There is a customary sequence — many communities begin with dates, others with the apple in honey — but families rightly follow their own minhag or the order in their machzor. A simanim card lays out an accepted order clearly, so whoever leads can move from siman to siman without flipping pages mid-meal.
