Celebrate the Brisket Equinox!

The Brisket Equinox falls exactly halfway between the first night of Rosh Hashanah and the first night of Passover.

This year the Brisket Equinox falls on January 6, 2025. This is the festive holiday that celebrates the midpoint between the brisket served at Passover Seder and the brisket served at Rosh Hashanah. It coincides with the Feast of the Epiphany making it The Brisket Epiphany, which occurs only once every 482 years.

We celebrate by singing: (to the tune of We Three Kings) These three things On brisket geschmacht (yes they are). Barbeque Sauce, Horseradish, and Mustard in jars. Pickles, Knishes, Egg Creams, Hershey Kisses, Delicate Essen, A Mechiah! Ahh! Ahh!
