Number one, the Chafetz Chaim points out that we're very into simonim on Rosh Hashanah.

We know from the Sudah, but I'm starting already, even when Rosh Hashanah starts, because the Chafetz Chaim says that even more careful than we have to be about the simonim that we're going to be eating or avoiding, we have to be careful about the simonim of our character and cast anger, rage, being picky against other people, are midas that should be avoided at all costs, because if there's ever a simon of what kind of year, you don't want to have a year of rage, of anger, of kapedas, of unpleasant relationships with people.

One of the reasons we have a large suda, it's supposed to be yummy and tasty, delicious and large, is all the simon milsa.

It means it actually, there's some kind of duality, there's some kind of exchange that goes on that when the heavens see us doing something, there's a recycling effect where it responds in kind.

And therefore, we're in a happy mood that generates a zakus and a merit for us to get a happier year.

When we're eating more delicious foods and we're eating happily and we're satisfied with the Kaddish Baruch Hu's bracha and we bench because I'm Muslim with a tremendous sense of simcha and thankfulness, we'll have more reasons to be thankful.
