Combat soldiers of the Underwater Mission Unit in the Israeli Navy prepared a special blessing for the Jewish New Year "Rosh Hashana" with apples, honey, and lots of water

During the week, combat soldiers of the Underwater Mission Unit accomplished a rather special mission underwater. The soldiers set the traditional Rosh Hashana dinner table under the sea.  At the table, the soldiers set apples, pomegranates and even the shofar, a Jewish horn used for religious purposes at the synagogue during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
