Whole Foods typically offers a special Rosh Hashanah catering menu with holiday meal packages and à la carte dishes like brisket, salmon, round challah, and traditional sides, usually available to order in late August through the holiday period.

Quick Scoop: Whole Foods Rosh Hashanah Menu

What Whole Foods Usually Offers

  • Fork-tender braised brisket as a centerpiece entrée, often described as Burgundy-braised or similarly wine-braised.
  • Honey–lemon–style salmon as a key fish option, tying into the “sweet new year” theme.
  • Round challah loaves for the holiday, sometimes plain and sometimes with seeds, reflecting common Rosh Hashanah bakery offerings.
  • Holiday side dishes such as:
    • Tzimmes-style carrot and sweet potato dishes with honey or sweet glazes.
* Roasted vegetables, green beans, and root-vegetable sides.

* Kugel-style casseroles (noodle or potato), which are very common on Rosh Hashanah menus and often appear in prepared holiday offerings.

These elements line up with broader Rosh Hashanah menu patterns you see in Jewish cookbooks and catering menus: brisket, roast chicken or turkey, salmon, tzimmes, kugel, and honey-forward desserts.

How the Rosh Hashanah Menu Usually Works

  • Ordering window: Whole Foods generally opens its High Holiday ordering a few weeks before the chag (for example, “browse the menu starting 8/26” for Rosh Hashanah catering).
  • Where to find it:
    • Their “Holiday Menus” / catering landing page lists seasonal packages (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, etc.).
* The Rosh Hashanah section will show set meals (for a specific number of guests) plus à la carte sides, bakery items, and sometimes dessert add‑ons.

Because menus change yearly and can vary by region, the exact 2026 Whole Foods Rosh Hashanah offerings (pricing, sizes, specific dishes) will be listed in their current holiday/catering section closer to the holiday date.

Typical Package Vibes (Illustrative)

While exact Whole Foods packages shift each year, they tend to resemble other New York and national Rosh Hashanah catering menus:

  • A multi-course dinner for a set number of guests that might include:
    • Round challah, a soup like matzo ball, and a fried element like latkes.
    • Two mains (brisket plus chicken or salmon).
    • 2–3 sides (tzimmes, roasted vegetables, kugel or potatoes).
    • A classic dessert such as apple pie, honey cake, or apple tart.

This structure mirrors many popular Rosh Hashanah menu plans online, where hosts build meals around brisket, sweet vegetables, apples, and honey for symbolic sweetness in the new year.

Tips to Actually Get the Menu You Need

  • Check the Whole Foods online ordering/holiday page in late summer for the live “Rosh Hashanah” category; this is where the full current menu, prices, and pickup dates will appear.
  • Filter by your local store, since availability and exact dishes can differ by region.
  • If you’re planning ahead, you can also riff off their typical structure using online Rosh Hashanah menu collections (healthy, vegan, traditional, or Sephardi‑leaning), then supplement with home‑cooked dishes.
