Book Description
A New York Times bestseller! A brilliantly modern take on Jewish culinary traditions for a new generation of readers, from a bright new star in the culinary world. When you think of Jewish food, a few classics come to mind: chicken soup with matzo balls, challah, maybe a babka if you’re feeling adventurous. But as food writer and nice Jewish boy Jake Cohen demonstrates in this stunning debut cookbook, Jewish food can be so much more. In Jew-ish, he reinvents the food of his Ashkenazi heritage and draws inspiration from his husband’s Persian-Iraqi traditions to offer recipes that are modern, fresh, and enticing for a whole new generation of readers. Imagine the components of an everything bagel wrapped into a flaky galette latkes dyed vibrant yellow with saffron for a Persian spin on the potato pancake, best-ever hybrid desserts like Macaroon Brownies and Pumpkin Spice Babka! Jew-ish features elevated, yet approachable classics along with innovative creations, such as: Jake’s Perfect Challah Roasted Tomato Brisket Short Rib Cholent Iraqi Beet Kubbeh Soup Cacio e Pepe Rugelach Sabich Bagel Sandwiches, and Matzo Tiramisu. Jew-ish is a brilliant collection of delicious recipes, but it’s much more than that. As Jake reconciles ancient traditions with our modern times, his recipes become a celebration of a rich and vibrant history, a love story of blending cultures, and an invitation to gather around the table and create new memories with family, friends, and loved ones.

The Sacred Table
Author: Mary L. Zamore
Publisher: CCAR Press
ISBN: 088123186X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 701
Book Description
The Sacred Table: Creating a Jewish Food Ethic is an anthology of diverse essays on Jewish dietary practices. This volume presents the challenge of navigating through choices about eating, while seeking to create a rich dialogue about the intersection of Judaism and food. The definition of Kashrut, the historic Jewish approach to eating, is explored, broadened and in some cases, argued with, in these essays. Kashrut is viewed not only as a ritual practice, but also as a multifaceted Jewish relationship with food and its production, integrating values such as ethics, community, and spirituality into our dietary practice. The questions considered in The Sacred Table are broad reaching. Does Kashrut represent a facade of religiosity, hiding immorality and abuse, or is it, in its purest form, a summons to raise the ethical standards of food production? How does Kashrut enrich spiritual practice by teaching intentionality and gratitude? Can paying attention to our own eating practices raise our awareness of the hungry? Can Kashrut inspire us to eat healthfully? Can these laws draw us around the same table, thus creating community? In exploring the complexities of these questions, this book includes topics such as agricultural workers' rights, animal rights, food production, the environment, personal health, the spirituality of eating and fasting, and the challenges of eating together. The Sacred Table celebrates the ideology of educated choice. The essays present a diverse range of voices, opinions, and options, highlighting the Jewish values that shape our food ethics. Whether for the individual, family, or community, this book supplies the basic how-tos of creating a meaningful Jewish food ethic and incorporating these choices into our personal and communal religious practices. These resources will be helpful if we are new to these ideas or if we are teaching or counseling others. Picture a beautiful buffet of choices from which you can shape your personal Kashrut. Read, educate yourself, build on those practices that you already follow, and eat well. Published by CCAR Press, a division of the Central Conference of American Rabbis

Jewish Suffering; Opposing View & the Messianic Age, A Historic Analysis
Author: Kalman Dubov
Publisher: Kalman Dubov
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Napoleon, the French Emperor, invaded Czarist Russia in the Franco-Russian War of 1812. The war ended in defeat for the French, with the Russians, referring to this as the Patriotic War, emerged victorious. Napoleon was in the process of liberating Jews from their enforced living in European ghettos, intending to emancipate and integrate them into modern French society. Emancipation of the Jews was a key byword, and many Jews hailed Napoleon as their benefactor and savior. To achieve fullest integration, Napoleon created a modern version of the Jewish Supreme Court, the Great Sanhedrin, to answer questions regarding Jewish belief, laws and their ability as well as intention to integrate into modern society. The head of the Sanhedrin was Rabbi David Sinzheim, Chief Rabbi of Strasbourg, France. However, opposed to French emancipation of the Jewish community was the first Chassidic leader, the Rebbe of Chabad, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. He was so opposed to French emancipation efforts that he directed a member of his community, a man with multi-lingual talents, to offer his services as a translator of documents. In reality however, he acted as a spy and passed French military plans to the Russians. We are aware of this clandestine effort by way of a letter Rabbi Shneur Zalman wrote to the spy, explaining his rationale for acting this way. The rabbi felt that emancipation would reduce Jewish reliance on religious devotion and prayer, while emancipation would provide material benefit with a consequent loss of piety and religious adherence. The letter from the Rabbi adds a dimension of thinking why he was so opposed to Napoleonic success. At the time this was taking place, Jews were subjects of the Czarist Empire, mandated to live in the Pale of Settlement, a region rife with anti-Semitism, pogroms, penury and poverty. But such living conditions, the rabbi felt was preferable to emancipation. Hence, this strange policy was applied, even to Jews who were not Chassidic, not members of this sect or community. After the Second World War, Chabad changed dramatically. No longer could the policy of their first Rebbe be imposed on Jews. Because of the massive anti-Semitism exhibited by the Nazis and their many willing allies who assisted them in murdering Jews, the notion of living under Christian (or Muslim) domination was no longer viable. The last Chabad Rebbe, instead introduced a Messianic message, praying for, and encouraging others to work towards, the arrival of the Messiah. This book describes Jewish suffering, both in the period when Rabbi Shneur Zalman was alive, as well as in the long term, particularly in the last millennia when Jews faced great persecutions and no less than 48 separate expulsions. This volume questions the logic of Jewish suffering as a necessary prerequisite for Jewish belief and practice to be viable. This policy offers the pertinent study of the period when the question of Jewish suffering was deemed key to Judaism, but while enormous anti-Semitism was present. Yet, after the Second World War, an entirely new reality was introduced for Jewish survival.
