Here are recipes for a savory noodle kugel and a sweet apple cake with a honey glaze to help make your celebration of the Jewish New Year more delicious!
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown on Sunday, Sept. 16 and goes until sundown on Tuesday, Sept. 18. This is the year 5773 on the Jewish calendar, and every year Jewish families gather together to celebrate the occasion with traditional foods. I am again sharing my grandmother’s very popular, savory noodle kugel recipe as well as a recipe for apple cake. Eating apples and honey are a traditional way of bringing in a sweet New Year, so the honey glaze on the apple cake makes it perfect for Rosh Hashanah. B’tayavon! (serves 8 as a side dish) Mama Betty is my paternal grandmother and was the very personification of the notion that food = love. This is one of my absolute favorite foods, and it tastes as good on day two as…

Here is Part II of my recipes for Rosh Hashanah. B'tayavon (the Jewish version of 'Bon Appetit')!
Rosh Hashanah ends at sundown tonight, but you still have time to make these easy and quick dishes. Or, if your menu is already planned, you can save them for pre- or post-fast meals for Yom Kippur, which begins at sundown on October 7. Squash mélange (serves four as a side dish) When I was younger, my mom used to write letters to me at sleepaway camp and would tell- in excruciating detail- of the pounds and pounds of zucchini she’d picked. Whenever I make this dish now, I think of those letters and miss the fresh-picked squash. Thank goodness for the farmers’ market! Ingredients: Directions: Panko-crusted Salmon with Herbs (serves 6) My mother, who is my culinary Yoda, makes this salmon dish for practically every Sabbath she and my …

The Jewish New Year is almost here, and you've got to cook for the entire family. These easy and tasty recipes for a side dish and dessert will help make your holiday deliciously simple.
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown on Wednesday September 28 and goes until sundown on Friday September 30. This is the year 5772 on the Jewish calendar, and every year Jewish families gather together to celebrate the occasion with traditional foods. Over the next two weeks I will be sharing with you the recipes for some of the most beloved dishes from my family. This week will be side dish and dessert; next week will be entrée and vegetable. Mama Betty’s Noodle Kugel (serves 8 as a side dish) Mama Betty is my paternal grandmother and was the very personification of the notion that food = love, in spite of this not being a sweet kugel. This is one of my absolute favorite foods! Ingredients: Directions: Apple …

It is disconcerting to read such a bizarre mischaracterization of an important Jewish holiday. It is ignorant. Jews do not 'ring in' the New Year. It is not at all like the secular calendar's New Year Eve of December 31, a night associated with drinking, partying, debauchery, and resolutions soon to be broken. The shofar is not a party horn. Rosh Hashonah is not a festival. It is one of Judaism … more ›
