Steve and his late wife Valerie have been making Art Glass for forty-one years. The magnificent glass sculptured pieces are deeply-carved motifs done on a variety of glass types. Steve Resnick Studio designs all colored glass pieces, bowls, cups, honey dishes, and candlesticks, and has them blown by an artist from the Czech Republic. Other pieces such as menorahs, mezuzot, and challah trays start out as sheets of thick glass, to allow deep carving, which are shaped and assembled in-house. For the remainder of the work--decanters, candlesticks and vasesSteve Resnick Studio selectively chooses from the best glass houses from around the world. Steve Resnick Studio carves pieces in either Bas Relief or Intaglio styles, often both on a single piece. The Studio's specialty is producing reasonably-priced functional items for Jewish Life cycle events. These pieces are meant to be admired and used, often passed from one generation to the next, becoming treasured family heirlooms.

To express the hope that it will be a sweet year, one of the most well-known and popular customs of Rosh Hashanah is to eat apples dipped in honey. It is a tradition to eat a newly ripened fruit for the first time that season, and since Rosh Hashanah falls around the beginning of apple season, the apple has become that "first fruit." This provides us with the opportunity to recite the blessings both over the apple (bore pri ha'etz: who creates the fruit of the tree) as well as another shehecheyanu. And then, before eating the fruit dipped in honey, we ask G-d "to renew this year for us with sweetness and happiness."
