  1. "What makes #Jewish #food Jewish?

    “Not food #Jews eat,” said the late #GilMarks in an interview about his monumental Encyclopedia of Jewish Food in 2010.

    After all, he pointed out, contemporary #Ashkenazi Jews probably eat more salsa and sushi than schmaltz. Jewish food, he said, is food that “almost becomes sanctified by its use in Jewish life.”

    #Marks, a #rabbi, historian, and extraordinary repository of culinary knowledge, was born in West Virginia and died, far too young, in Jerusalem in 2014.

    His words came back to me as I began going through my food lists and #recipes, stained from years of #cooking in preparation for #RoshHashanah.

    What are the foods that have become sanctified in our family?"

  2. "Over the centuries, #American #Jews have built a vast religious landscape in which no single institution or orthodoxy can reign supreme or dictate how #Judaism should be practised. Such free market Judaism has produced a panoply of diverse religious #Jewish life, but it has also made collective representation more difficult.

    Who ends up speaking on behalf of American Jews when #antisemitism spikes? Who testifies on Capitol Hill before Congress? Who can synthesise the concerns of #Orthodox, #Reform, #Conservative and unaffiliated Jews without pretending their differences don’t exist?

    Whether #America ever gets a chief #rabbi again or a universally-accepted council of chief #rabbis may be beside the point. What isn't beside the point is that at a time of disturbing levels of antisemitism and a Jewish community fractured by politics, some kind of unity, however America chooses to build it, has never felt more necessary."

    Послухайте, борці з корупцією і їхні прихильники — ви наблизилися до червоних, ми б навіть сказали до брунатних, каштанових ліній (а може аж до ліній кольору дитячої несподіванки). Якщо ви продовжите свій рух в цей бік і спробуєте (не дай їхній бог) звинуватити Його! Вам всім інкримінують антисемітизм і заперечення Голокосту. Потім не кажіть, що ми вас не попереджали...
