"Growing up as a #Jewish #foodie in the #Brooklyn area of #NewYorkCity, #babka has always had as much of a presence at my holiday table as brisket and bagels. But while those #babkas may have taken on different flavors, from chocolate to cinnamon and sometimes even apple, they were still always cake.
That makes sense, as babka is indeed a form of cake, but now things are going a bit awry just in time for the Jewish #HighHoliday of #RoshHashonah, and #icecream is joining the party. Babka ice cream, that is.
The Holy Babka! ice cream is a result of a collaboration between two New York City legends: The Brooklyn-born #AmpleHillsCreamery and legendary #Zabar's."

"#Jewish #food has become a savory part of the #American story.
#Bagels, once only found in Jewish #immigrant communities in #NewYorkCity, are now mass-produced across the country. Jewish #delis featuring overstuffed sandwiches of #brisket on #rye or #challah are fixtures in cities from #NewYork to #LosAngeles. #Lox and #whitefishsalad are stocked at Costco. #Knishes too, which can even be found in supermarket freezers. High-end cafes across the country sell #rugelach, #babka and black and white #cookies. #Matzahball #soup is practically everywhere.
All these #foods arrived on America’s shores courtesy of waves of Jewish #immigrants. But by now, most #Americans—including #Jews—have forgotten how and when these foods entered American #culinary history and culture. In honor of the nation’s semiquincentennial year, we’ve created this tasty timeline to tell the story of American Jewish food."

"A #Jewish #bakery owned by #Polish and #Israeli #immigrants in #Berlin has shut its doors, citing a combination of economic pressure and #antisemitic harassment.
#Babka&Krantz opened in the #Friedenau district in November 2022 and added a second location in December 2024, adjacent to the memorial at the site where the #Nazis devised their “#finalsolution” for the #Jews during the #Holocaust.
The second location at the House of the #WannseeConference closed on Nov. 30, according to the bakery’s Instagram account, which directed followers to a statement from the memorial that has since been deleted from its website.
“We regret the verbal abuse and the difficult situation to which the managing directors and employees of BABKA & KRANTZ Meisterkonditorei were exposed and express our full understanding for the termination of the cooperation under these circumstances,” said the March 10 statement[...]
Now, the original location has closed, too."

I didn't know #babka could be politically controversial

Danny’s on the UWS is not on the list. I called. They had it. I did not need to make an appt. I made the 45 minute schlep up there. It took about 10 minutes. Got the shot. Treated myself to a chocolate babka at Breads on the way home.
Mission accomplished.

Was feeling a little unsure of how to spend the day.
So I started an apple honey babka I'd been eyeing this week (Joan Nathan/NYTimes).
The kitchen now smells like butter, sugar, and apples. Can't complain.

You know we have hit peak #Brooklyn when #babka migrates back across the Atlantic and we wind up with "#Brooklynesque #bakeries"

I refuse to be the model minority and I won't give up to demands that other Babkans be either.
We enforce the rules we have (I wrote them) but won't give in to keyboard bullies who insist that we be all be polite, that we align with a certain political movement, that we don't express our pain, that we aren't religious enough, that we talk about Judaism too much, that we talk in certain ways, that we respond to demands of loyalty pledges, that we are too sexual, that we're not sexual enough, that we're too Queer, that we're too heternormative, etc.
As long as you follow the rules, you're allowed to be authentically Jewish in whatever way speaks to you on Babka Social.

According to FB memories on this day last year I conquered the Chocolate Babka.

Final product. I skip the strussel and syrup so it remains sweet but not decadent.

How many antisemitic tropes such as cancer can they cram into a single post about a Jewish instance?
