Protestors out today (and as early as last week!) Protestors out today (and as early as last week!) on the anniversary of October 7 won’t even allow a moment for Jews to grieve. But no matter what hateful rhetoric they chant they can’t take what is in our hearts and in our minds. And we will remember. #standwithisrael #endjewhatred #october7

Cooking with grandma and learning some Syrian spec Cooking with grandma and learning some Syrian specialties for Rosh Hashanah! On the menu: meatballs with sour cherries, peas and mushrooms with allspice, steamed rice with onions, and our family favorite: lahem b’ajean (meat pies with allspice, cinnamon, and tamarind). Passing the torch to the next generation, one recipe at a time. #roshhashana #syrianfood #familyrecipes
It’s very difficult to say Shana Tova (Happy New It’s very difficult to say Shana Tova (Happy New Year) this year while Israel is embroiled in war on multiple fronts with Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and IRAN. It’s painful to think that in just a few days — between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur — will be the one-year anniversary of when 1200 people were murdered in Israel, and hundreds of others were forcibly taken hostage into Gaza. For many more months (hopefully not years) the loss of life will unfortunately continue. To all Israelis, Jews, and Zionists (properly defined as those who believe in the existence of the Jewish state of Israel!) around the world, I share your grief and sadness and am hoping for sweeter days of apples with honey over bee stings of pain. 🍎🍏🍯🐝 5785 #shanatova
In this month’s AARP issue. Thank you to Jill Gr In this month’s AARP issue. Thank you to Jill Grant who interviewed me about this family favorite comfort food! On another note, it was a bit disheartening, but unfortunately not surprising these days, to receive an email from a woman claiming that only challah, gefilte fish, and matzah ball soup were Jewish. She lectured me on what I could and couldn’t teach, according to her, and claimed that as a Jew I must have stolen the recipe. I guess this was her not-so-subtle way of telling me to « go back to Poland » — an anti-Semitic trope that American Jews in particular have been hearing since October 7. Mizrahi Jews need to keep sharing their long history in the Middle East, North Africa, and Western/Central Asia so people know that we share many similar dishes with our Muslim and Christian neighbors! #mizrahi #mizrahijews #mizrahifood #syrianfood #syrianjewishcommunity #jewishfood #antisemitism #israelifood #middleeasternfood #arabicfood #aarp
In Sicilian cooking you will find dishes influence In Sicilian cooking you will find dishes influenced by Sephardic, Spanish, North African, and Arabic flavors. For dinner I ordered a salty-sweet pasta prepared with tomatoes, sardines, olives, breadcrumbs, pine nuts, and raisins—a taste of all the varying cultures in one bite! #sicilianfood #arabicfood #sephardicfood #northafricanfood #italianfood #pasta #siracuse #spanishfood
In the Ortygia neighborhood of Siracusa, an Ancien In the Ortygia neighborhood of Siracusa, an Ancient Greek city in southwestern Sicily, was once a thriving community of 5,000 Jews with at least 12 Synagogues. In 1987 the oldest mikveh (Jewish ritual bath) in Europe was discovered in the Guidecca (Jewish quarter) during the construction of a hotel. This mikveh had been built in around 600 C.E.and remained in use for nearly 1,000 years, until the Jews of Sicily, under the control of the Spanish Inquisition, were expelled. When I descended 60 feet below (i was not allowed to bring my phone) I observed 5 individual baths carved by hand into stone filled with fresh water brought in from natural springs, as they had been when they were still active. It is believed that before fleeing members of the Jewish community filled and covered the baths to hide them from destruction, which in the end protected them for 500 years. Before the expulsion there were nearly 40,000 Jews that inhabited Sicily with a history that dated back centuries. The synagogue that connected to the baths was converted to a church a long time ago, and virtually every other sign of Jewish life has been destroyed and replaced. But thanks to our Sephardic ancestors the Jews today have proof that we were once here. #jewishcommunity #jewishhistory #spanishinquisition #antisemitism #conversos #expulsion #sicily #mikve #jewishrituals #jewishpride #standwithisrael #siracuse
