Carrots are a siman for an increase in our spiritual merits. It’s a play on words; carrots in Yiddish are merren which also means “many.” Wishing that we had more mitzvos on our record this time of year isn’t a shoulda-coulda-woulda guilt trip. It’s a commitment for the future.

Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger for 5 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Add carrots and cook 10 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook another 15 to 22 minutes, or until carrots are very tender.
