"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?"

"When #Rabbi #EdRosenthal, Founder & CEO of #RepairtheSea, received an unexpected phone call two years ago from #RachelleBurk, he had no idea that the conversation would turn into something much bigger than he could have imagined. Rachelle #Burk, an acclaimed #childrensbook #author and avid scuba diver, asked #Rabbi Ed if he would be interested in a #book for young readers to share his love of the Sea and his desire to protect it that she would write. Having written a number of other #Jewish children’s #books including “She’s a #Mensch! Jewish Women Who Rocked the World” and “Space #Torah: Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman’s Cosmic #Mitzvah,” Rachelle shared with Rabbi Ed that, as a scuba diver, she had always wanted to write a book about the undersea world. Featuring Rabbi Ed and Repair the Sea’s Reverse #Tashlich program would be the perfect way to accomplish that goal."

"For those seeking an entry into the most brilliant of #Jewish #legal minds, a recently launched series serves as an immensely rewarding resource. The first volume of #Koren -Publisher’s #Steinsaltz Edition of #Maimonides’ code of #Jewishlaw, the #Mishne #Torah, has been published in English. It seeks to make the legendary #medieval thinker’s #teachings accessible to a wide audience, utilizing the commentary of the late #Rabbi #AdinSteinsaltz, who passed away in 2020.
In addition to the clear English #translation of the source material, this unique edition contains sections covering additional legal perspectives that supplement those of the #MishneTorah itself. Also included are some of the late #Lubavitcher #Rebbe’s writings on Maimonides’ legal rulings.
Most helpful are the conceptual #essays in the back of the #book, which touch upon how Maimonides’ thought has been adapted, and argued with, over the ages."
