Introduction to Judaism Online Classes
Introduction to Judaism online is a live weekly video conference class where students join classmates for an engaging 20-session course offered in three consecutive trimesters. The program is suitable for adults who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Jewish life through a Reform lens.
Cheese Blintz Casserole
Blintzes are sweet or savory, filled with jam or fruit, meat, potatoes, or in this case, cheese.
Apple Horseradish
Using the apple, an iconic Rosh HaShanah ingredient, as a base, the following sauce will add a kick to your gefilte fish or roasted meats.
Czech Apple-Filled Yeast Cake (Ceske’ Buchty)
This cake combines Czech culture with Jewish tradition, placing the symbolic holiday apple inside the traditional Czech dough and making it into a ring to symbolize a year of never-ending good.
Hungarian Cabbage Strudel (Káposztás Rétes)
Cabbage was very popular in Ashkenzic communities during all the Jewish fall festivals.
Algerian Chicken with Quince
According to Clemence Barkate, an Algerian now living in France, the traditional Rosh HaShanah dish served in her home city of Constantine was chicken with eggplant, honey, and quince (a hard and crisp fruit resembling something between an apple and a Bartlett pear and has a perfume-like fragrance when cooked).
Algerian Vegetable Melange in Pastry Shells
This simple but elegant holiday dish is served at the Aferiat home. Yolande Aferiat, from Oran, taught her daughter-in-law, Kathy, how to make it. Kathy, in turn, described it to me. Kathy’s use of peas rather than fava beans is a sign of the Americanization of Yolande’s traditional dish.
