Lekach is a honey-sweetened cake made by Jews,^[1] especially for the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah.^[2] Known in Hebrew as ugat dvash (עוּגַת דְּבַשׁ‎, lit. 'honey cake'), the word lekach (לעקעך‎) is Yiddish. Lekach is one of the symbolically significant foods traditionally eaten by Ashkenazi Jews at Rosh Hashanah in hopes of ensuring a sweet New Year.^[3]
