Shanah tovah!
The "sole" is awesome!! (I'm just sorry I didn't read this post sooner). Gut Voch!
If you look at the derivation of the word "Jerusalem" in the word "Jerusalem artichoke" you will find another reason to eat it - "mimizrach ha-shemesh ad mvo'oh mehullal shem H'". That is, with the plant that turns to face the sun at its rising and setting we can praise G-d's name. Unfortunately the plant is notorious for causing flatulence, so I suggest you eat it in moderation.
