For many Jews, the meal is the holiday. Collected by the Jewish Food Society, an organization dedicated to preserving Jewish cuisine around the world, the 135 recipes and accompanying stories in The Jewish Holiday Table are a dazzling expression of all the ways we celebrate through what we bring to the table. Discover menus for a Persian Rosh Hashanah feast, a Ukrainian-Mexican Seder, an Iraqi spread for Purim. And a memorable Hanukkah tale of grandmothers competing in a doughnut duel, with one’s Moroccan sfenj recipe challenging the other’s Egyptian zalabia. Reflecting three thousand years of love and loss, culture and change, each dish captures the soul of what’s served in a Jewish home on a Jewish holiday.

The Jewish Holiday Table & Apron Bundle

The latest volume of the limited-edition journal from our partner organization Asif: Culinary Institute of Israel takes stock of the past year in Israel through the lens of food. A photo essay captures how chefs and volunteers sprang into action at the onset of the war to cook for those in need. Chefs, producers, and farmers share how their year has oscillated between despair and hope, and a Palestinian restaurant owner in Ramla expresses his desire to return to life together. There are also stories from families evacuated from their homes who long for their kitchens and recipes that commemorate some of those murdered on October 7th.

Asif Journal: A Culinary Digest Vol. 3

This is the second volume of the vibrant, limited-edition journal from our partners at Asif: Culinary Institute of Israel. Its pages are filled with stories that examine the myth of "worker's restaurants" in Israel, a photo essay that captures the ritual of early morning Suhoor meals during Ramadan, recipes for bourekas and Israeli couscous, interviews with leaders of innovative food tech start-ups, and much more.
