Free Printable 2026 Rosh Hashanah Menu Template 2026

Plan your Yom Tov meals with this free printable 2026 Rosh Hashanah menu template. An easy way to organize simple, delicious Yom Tov meals your family will love!

It’s here! My beloved 2026 Rosh Hashanah menu template; something I’ve proudly been creating for years!

The fact that we’re already up to Rosh Hashanah… seriously, where has the time gone?!

Not going to lie, I already have a few round challahs tucked away in my freezer. I make fresh challah every week, but I don’t always need the full five pounds, so sometime in the middle of the summer, I start making half regular challahs and half round ones. A little advance planning never hurts!

I’ll admit, I’m a little disappointed that Rosh Hashanah falls out on Shabbos this year. I love Shabbos, and I love Yom Tov, so I like being able to celebrate each one separately — or at least give me a three-day Yom Tov! Yes, I am that crazy person who genuinely loves a three-day Yom Tov! (I will say, though, this year’s schedule definitely makes the cooking a little easier.)

Now that you have a template, here are some of my favorite Rosh Hashanah recipes to help you start filling in your menu!
