  about tzimmes
Tzimmes (pronounced: tsi'- mes), is a Yiddish word for a sweet culinary concoction made variously of stewed carrots, honey, raisins, and prunes; it is considered to be the perfect complement to the main course of a Jewish feast.
Julian was a mainstay performer with Tzimmes during the years 1988-2003 and gave Tzimmes its overall instrumental colour with his unique and versatile Midi Accordion/Synthesizer.
The music of Tzimmes is at the forefront of this multi-faceted approach to Jewish music making today, and indeed, this musical diversification describes our people's historical-cultural wanderings very well.

 Tzimmes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The word tzimmes or tsimmes, according to Leo Rosten (The Joys of Yiddish) comes from the German words zum "to the" and essen "eating." It's a dish of cooked vegetables, fruits, and sometimes meat.
Tzimmes is traditionally served at the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah.
The carrots in the tzimmes symbolize abundance because the Yiddish word for carrot is mern, "to multiply." All the fruits and vegetables used tend to be sweet, for a Sweet and Abundant New Year.
