fair-trade gifts that help

women and families

by Simone Ellin


PRACTICE

ah Humbug If yoursquore like many Americans you

may be turned off by the materialism that has

come to define the winter holiday season For

Jewish Americans the holiday season and its emphasis on

extravagant gift-giving can be especially daunting True it

was once common practice to give gelt (the Yiddish word

for money) at the holiday but Chanukah gift-giving as we

know it today seems to have originated after World War II

as Jews assimilated to life in America and wanted to make

sure their children would not feel deprived

or left out at Christmas-time

In light of all this some of us

have considered sticking

with Chanukah-themed

gifts such as dreidels

or chocolate gelt for

children and do-

nating money to

a favorite Jew-

ish charity for the

adults on our lists

But those of us

who donrsquot have the

heart to withhold

gifts from our children

or grandchildren or who

feel uncomfortable show-

ing up at a friendrsquos or relativersquos

Chanukah party empty-handed

may be pleased to learn about another op-

tion What if you could find a unique gift for everyone

on your list while helping women and girls in need at the

same time Purchasing certified fair trade Chanukah gifts

can do just that

Ilana Schatz founder of Fair Trade Judaica (FTJ) and former-

ly the founding director of the Volunteer Action Center of the

Jewish Community Federation of the Greater East Bay has

always been passionate about social justice About 10 years

ago when she visited a fair trade store in Kathmandu she

was deeply impressed by how much fair trade principles and

Jewish values shared in common ldquoAs Jews we are obligat-

ed to work for economic justice to ensure that workers are

treated justly and to be responsible consumersrdquo says Schatz

Browsing the fair trade store Schatz read the nine principles

of fair trade posted on the walls along with photos of the

artisans who made the handicrafts and stories about how

fair trade had changed their lives

ldquoI saw a white shawl and it dawned on me

that it would make a great tallit

she says So I asked if I could

have one made Two weeks

later when I returned

to the store the tallis

was ready It came

with a thank-you

note and a photo

Every time I put

on the tallis I say a

prayer for the arti-

san who made itrdquo

Several years after

their trip Schatz and her

husband created the FTJ

website and became Fair Trade

Federation members Site visitors can

purchase tallit hand-woven challah covers col-

orful kippahs for both men and women jewelry and other

handicrafts from countries such as South Africa Guatemala

Nepal Mexico and Peru The menorahs they offer hand-

made by a South African craftsman are unusual ndash one is

made from a bicycle chain another features two elephants

with intertwined trunks holding aloft the shammos (the

candle used to light the others) a third made using colorful

beads features a gardening theme

Principles of Fair Trade

According to the Fair Trade Federation in order to qualify as a fair trade orga-nization businesses must adhere to the following principles

bull Create opportunities for economically and socially marginalized producers

bull Develop transparent and accountable relationships

bull Build capacity

bull Promote fair trade

bull Pay promptly and fairly

bull Support safe and empowering working conditions

bull Ensure the rights of children

bull Cultivate environmental stewardship

bull Respect cultural identity

Only handicrafts that are labeled with the logo of the Fair Trade Federation or the World Fair Trade Organization a global network of fair trade organi-zations can be considered truly fair trade Other free trade products such

as foods wines fruits vegetables olives coffee tea or cocoa may

also carry the labels of Fair Trade America Fair Trade

USA and Fair for Life


When she discovered that much of the chocolate sold in the

US is produced by child laborers who are often kidnapped

trafficked and forced to work in cocoa fields of West Africa

Schatz began selling kosher fair trade Chanukah gelt both

milk and dark made by a farming co-op in Ghana ldquoWe call

it gelt without guiltrdquo she says Schatz also lists on her site

fair trade certified chocolate coffee and tea companies that

have kosher certification a useful tool for those who want to

support fair trade enterprises when they shop for groceries

Friends Joan Shifrin and Catherine Shimony are also pas-

sionately devoted to bringing fair trade products to con-

sumers After attending graduate school together at Johns

Hopkins University both worked in the field of international

economic development ndash Shifrin as the director of commu-

nity education and outreach at the Global Fund for Children

and Shimony as director of international programs at Ameri-

can Jewish World Service Their careers took them to im-

poverished countries where they met talented women arti-

sans unable to earn a living wage despite the beauty of their

products In 2005 the two women joined forces to create

Global Goods Partners (GGP) a fair trade nonprofit where

women gain access to US markets to sell their goods at fair

wages bringing financial and social benefits to their families

and communities


PRACTICE

GGP works with 40 nonprofits that are employ-

ing more than 3000 women in more than 20

countries in Asia Africa and the Americas On its

website GGP sells beautifully crafted decorative house-

wares toys scarves belts and jewelry

The ldquohotrdquo gifts for Chanukah include Guatemalan-made

ldquoBracelets for Changerdquo Shifrin notes ldquoThey come in a few

different colors and depending upon the color a percentage

of the money goes to a charitable cause Sky blue bracelets

go toward solar energy kits dark blue goes to purchasing

eco-filters and brown goes to creating an organic gardenrdquo

in the communities in which the artisans live Proceeds from

the popular Th(E) bracelets (educate and empower) go to-

ward Guatemalan girlsrsquo education Shifrin says ldquoThese have

really resonated with people and they only cost $10rdquo

Also popular are felt flowers made in Nepal alpaca shawls

made by Indians indigenous to Bolivia and a stylish

collection of lapis jewelry made by young women artists

in Afghanistan The women are trained as metalsmiths

giving them access to skills generally limited to men in

their country

For Chanukah GGP is also selling wire-art beaded dreidels

made in South Africa ldquoI love selling Judaica because it opens

up the world to the Jewish communityrdquo says Shifrin

Shifrin and Shimony partner with nonprofit community-

based groups who act as liaisons between the artisans and

Global Goods In addition to helping the artisans start and

sustain businesses the nonprofits provide health services

literacy programs safe housing and educate women about

their reproductive and civil rights

ldquoThe empowerment that can come from having money for

the first time is transformationalrdquo says Shifrin ldquoAnd these

partnerships have really expanded opportunities for women

and familiesrdquo

Making the most of the holidays with grandchildren of varied faiths

by Simone Ellin


Many Jewish grandparents wrestle with how to convey the beauty of Chanukah and Judaism to inter-faith grandchildren without stepping on the toes of family members who celebrate Christmas With this in mind we turned for guidance to two experts ndash Rabbi Kerry Olitzky executive director of Big Tent JudaismJewish Outreach Institute (JOI) and Dr Ruth Nemzoff author of Donrsquot Bite Your Tongue How to Foster Rewarding Relationships with Your Adult Children (PalgraveMacmillan 2008) and Donrsquot Roll Your Eyes Making In-Laws Into Family (PalgraveMacmillan 2012)

Rabbi Olitzky who created JOIrsquos Grandparentrsquos Circle an education and support program for Jewish grandparents whose adult children have intermarried recommends the following steps for negotiating the winter holiday season and having fun in the process

bull Be the best Jew you can be

bull Model a welcoming attitude to all especially to-ward your non-Jewish sondaughter-in-law

bull Separate out difficulties in your relationship with your adult child from the relationship you want to nurture with your grandchildren Donrsquot let them bubble to the surface this time of year

bull Throw the best holiday parties ever Keep them focused on celebration not confrontation

bull Support the exposure to the other side of the family along with holidays and customs

bull Share your own Jewish narrative with your grandchildren especially as it includes their parent your adult child And wear your own Jewish identity proudly

bull Display demonstrate and share beautiful holi-day ritual objects and explain why theyre per-sonally meaningful to you

bull Give gifts relevant to the meaning of the holi-day but only if it wont cause discomfort for anyone in the home (and not as the only gifts)

bull If the other side of the family celebrates a dif-ferent holiday wish them the proper seasonal greeting for their holiday even if it isnrsquot your own And if they offer you the same greetings a simple thank you you too is all you need to say

bull Make no assumptions about holiday observ-ances or ritual practices Most families celebrate holidays through the lens of family not religion And sometimes a Christmas tree is just a tree

Above all Olitzky and Nemzoff stress the importance of nurturing relationships with the non-Jewish partners of their adult children

ldquoWhatever our [adult] children decide if we are to have any influence with our grandchildren we must be respectful of their decisionsrdquo says Nemzoff who also advises grandparents to be cognizant of the needs and desires of the non-Jewish machatunim (in-laws) In addition says Nemzoff ldquoIf your child and his or her spouse choose to bring their children up as Jews we must appreciate and show appreciation to our in-law kids who give time and resources to the Jewish education of our grandchildrenrdquo

Olitzky cautions ldquoWhen you meet your childrsquos partner for the first time you have a nanosecond to pre-dict what your relationship [with that person] will be Your only reaction should be lsquoWelcomersquo Try to think about intermarriage not as your child marrying out [of the faith] but instead as your child bring-ing someone inrdquo



PRACTICE


I started making latkes the first Chanukah after my first child was born Suddenly even though she was only three months old and certainly too young to eat the latkes let alone re-member them it became critically important that I create a special holiday atmosphere in my home ndash something my mother calls ldquomaking yontifrdquo And I used my Grandma Hildarsquos recipe ndash the ones we would stay by the stove when we were little paper napkin in hand to eat hot out of the oil

They were not as good as I remembered My latkes were lumpy and gooey and oily I tried year after year un-

til thank goodness I read a tip in the Washington Posts food section to scoop the latke mixture

with one tablespoon (the kind you eat with not the measuring kind) and flatten it using the back of another Then you slide it into the hot oil Flattening the mixture ndash just so ndash made my latkes perfect So perfect I have cooked them on national and

local television (Check out out my latke recipe on page 22)

Knowing how much this simple tip helped me I decided to reach out to others for more latke-making wisdom

Tips and strategies for (really) the best

potato pancakes

by Meredith Jacobs


NOURISH

Sweet or whiteBenwick likes to combine sweet potatoes with white potatoes ndash no scientific ratio She had some leftovers put them togeth-er and liked the texture and sweetness She suggests adding scallions or chives to the combo Straight up sweet potatoes are fine but they cook a little differently The combo she says gives you ldquothe best of both worldsrdquo

Benwick prefers russet over red or waxy potatoes Yukon Gold and California Gold are also good because they donrsquot discolor

And donrsquot use the pre-grated hash brown potatoes (the kind you find in the supermarket in bags near the eggs) she warns ldquoThey do not make good latkes ndash I donrsquot recommend them Grating yourself is the way to gordquo

OnionsldquoIf yoursquore doing latkes as appetizer or main course instead of onions use shallots or scallions I like shallots a lot ndash not as much moisturerdquo

OilUse safflower oil ndash itrsquos good for high-temperature cooking and has a neutral flavor

Hand-grated or Cuisinart ldquoIrsquove done both but if you can do it by hand itrsquos messier but you get better consistency With the Cuisinart I get nubs But then maybe thatrsquos operator errorrdquo

Can I make them in advanceYou can make them ahead of time and reheat in the oven Put the latkes directly on a stainless steel wire rack (like the one you use for cooling cookies) Place the rack on the inside of a rimmed baking sheet and put that in the oven on 325deg or 350deg for 10 minutes and they crisp right up

ldquoPlacing them directly on the wire means you donrsquot need to flip them and any grease will fall through to the cookie sheetrdquo

Applesauce or sour creamBenwick likes homemade applesauce ndash ldquoso easy to make and so much better There is a really good roasted mashed apple-pear sauce in the Recipe Finder on Washingtonpostcom a combination of apples and pears a little sugar and a lot of butter After 40 minutes in the oven and a potato masher you have something with texture and body and flavor ndash itrsquos a meal in itselfrdquo

Shersquos a sour cream person too but prefers cregraveme fraiche and some salmon roe

BONNIE S BENWICK DEPUTY FOOD EDITORRECIPE EDITOR THE WASHINGTON POSTWhile Benwick has garnered many tips over the years editing the food section of the Washington Post her first tip came after her childrenrsquos teacher asked her to come and make latkes for the class She borrowed her neighborrsquos electric skillet (an older one that has a dial to control the temperature) and discovered it was the perfect way to cook latkes

ldquoI like it for the evenness of temperature of the oil and the surface areardquo she says adding ldquoand you can be away from the stoverdquo Benwick explains that some foods lend themselves to an assembly line so by moving to an area with more space you can get more people involved in the latke-making process ndash someone can grate someone can squeeze out moisture someone can cut up onions etc

1 In a heatproof bowl combine the oats or quinoa flakes with 1 frac12 cups boiling water Stir and set aside while pre-paring the other ingredients

2 Combine the grated potato carrot and onion and matzo meal in a mixing bowl Stir in the oatmeal then season with salt and pepper

3 Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of a large non-stick skillet or griddle Drop enough potato batter to form 2 frac12- to 3-inch pancakes Fry on both sides over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp (Alternatively see baked variation on the next page)

4 Drain briefly on paper towels and place in a covered container to keep warm until serving Serve warm with applesauce and the optional sour cream

Ingredients

bull frac34 cup quick-cooking oats or quinoa flakes (see note)bull 6 medium-large potatoes mdash golden or red-skinned

peeled or not if leaving unpeeled use organic and scrub well (see note)

bull 1 medium carrot gratedbull 1 medium onionbull frac12 cup matzo meal (or frac12 cup additional quinoa flakes)bull Salt and freshly ground pepper to tastebull Safflower or other high-heat vegetable oil for fryingbull Applesaucebull Vegan sour cream (homemade or purchased) optional

Makes about 3 to 4 dozen depending on size

Notes

Since the definition of ldquomedi-um-largerdquo potatoes can vary if you find that the cooked oatmeal mixture isnrsquot enough to give the grated potatoes a nice even coating (or if the latkes donrsquot stick together) cook a little more oatmeal or quinoa flakes starting with frac14 cup additional grain and frac12 cup additional boiling water

And of course use the quinoa flakes as the gluten-free op-tion both in place of the oat-meal and the matzo meal

NAVA ATLAS VEGETARIAN BLOGGER AND COOKBOOK AUTHOR

Nava Atlas who writes a vegan food blog (vegkitchencom) and is author of superb vegetarian cookbooks including the new book Plant Power has developed a Vegan Traditional Latke recipe The recipe is good not only for those who follow a plant-based diet but for those who are allergic to eggs Atlas also offers the option of making them gluten-free by us-ing quinoa flakes

Atlas encourages us to bake instead of fry ldquoItrsquos less tra-ditional but much easier and less greasy Irsquove personally fallen in love with doing it that wayrdquo

Here is Atlasrsquos technique for baking latkes

Preheat the oven to 425degF Stir 3 to 4 tablespoons of high-heat oil such as safflower into the potato mixture Line two baking sheets with baking parchment Use a round frac14-cup measuring cup to drop the potato mixture onto the parchment then flat-ten lightly with the bottom of the measuring cup Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom then flip carefully with a spatula Bake for 10 to 12 minutes longer or until golden brown on the second side (Adapted from Vegan Holiday Kitchen Sterling Publishing)

BARBARA SHAW ISRAELI DESIGNER AND HOME COOKCanrsquot remember the recipe Look on the apron Barbara Shaw sells ldquoJewish gifts that smilerdquo both from her website (barbarashaw-giftscom) and her store in Jerusalem (and from one soon to open in Tel Aviv) Among her many imaginative gifts are aprons em-blazoned with recipes for latkes challah and chicken soup Her apron is a must have for the latke chef And while you can find her recipe on the apron you wonrsquot be able to find these tips

ldquoI guess Irsquom an old-fashioned cookrdquo Shaw wrote via email ldquoI prefer to grate the pota-toes ndash they seem to have more texture that wayrdquo She also uses olive oil which she writes ldquomakes them lighter and healthierrdquo

Everyone we spoke with mentioned the im-portance of wringing the moisture out of the potatoes Shaw helps the process by sprin-kling salt on the grated potatoes to get them to ldquosweatrdquo Then she squeezes out the mois-ture by hand (use a paper towel)


1 Grate the potatoes and onion into a bowl or if using a food processor shred the potatoes and onion together If you prefer latkes softer after shred-ding place the shreds back into the food processor and use the S-blade Process the potatoes and onions to a fine consistency

2 Either squeeze the vegetables in a kitchen towel over a bowl or place the mixture in a rigid strainer set over a bowl and press the vegetables In ei-ther case wring or squeeze out as much liquid as possible

3 Place the vegetables in a large bowl Add the matzo meal or breadcrumbs or use the solid potato starch that re-mains at the bottom of the bowl con-taining the squeezed liquid Stir in the eggs salt pepper and baking powder

4 Heat about frac14 inch vegetable oil in a cast iron or other heavy heat-retain-ing skillet over moderately high heat Drop some of the potato mixture into the pan using equal amounts to make each pancake Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until the pancakes are golden brown and crispy

5 Drain on paper towels Serve with sour cream nonfat plain yogurt applesauce or Lemongrass-Yogurt Sauce


Makes 12-16 latkes

RONNIE FEIN COOKING TEACHER AND COOKBOOK AUTHORRonnie Fein is author of one of my favorite cookbooks Hip Kosher and has a new book out The Modern Kosher Kitchen More than 125 Inspired Recipes for a New Generation of Kosher Cooks that I canrsquot wait to get my hands on Shersquos also a cooking teacher food writer and blogger (Kitchen Vignettes ndash ronnie-feincom) She was gracious enough to give us her best tips as well as her recipe for latkes and her lemongrass yogurt sauce that I will be trying this Chanukah

To make great crispy latkes Fein advises us to focus on two words ndash moisture and heat

Moisture Use russet type (baking) potatoes because they have the driest flesh Avoid Yukon Golds or any other waxy potato Also be sure to squeeze as much liquid out of the potatoes as you can I do a small amount at a time so that it doesnrsquot require great strength and I bought a tea towel that I use just for this (I rinse it out wash it and put it away for the next latke fest) If the potato shreds are not dry the latkes will be soggy Donrsquot fret about the shreds discoloring because you are not speeding along with everything Latkes are fried golden brown No one will ever know that some of the shreds had discolored before you fried the latke

Heat To keep latkes light grease-free and crispy itrsquos impor-tant to fry them in hot oil If the oil is not properly hot the latkes will absorb grease and become heavy and loaded with fat To begin even before you place your first latke in the pan be sure the oil is hot enough to make a bread crumb or a sliver of potato bubble quickly around the edges immediately The oil must stay hot That means donrsquot add too many latkes to the pan ndash each time you place batter in the pan the oil temperature goes down Wait a few seconds before adding the next batch of batter And do not crowd the pan with too many latkes at once because this also brings down the oil temperature

GRIZZLY PEAKrsquoS lsquoOVER THE TOPrsquo LATKES

Finally we come to tips straight from a restaurant kitchen I first learned about Grizzly Peak while moving my daughter into her dorm at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor I asked for a restaurant recommendation from her RA and was told to try Grizzly Peak ldquoThey have this steak sandwichrdquo he said ldquobut instead of bread it is served between two latkesrdquo He continued ldquoI know what yoursquore thinking lsquoChanukahrsquo But itrsquos awesome all year lsquoroundrdquo

With that recommendation how could I not call Miguel De La Torre executive chef at Grizzly Peak Ann Arbor for his trade secrets At the restaurant they build the Brewery Steak Sand-wich with grilled hanger steak between crispy potato cakes with melted cheddar bacon and porter cregraveme fraiche I know Not even remotely kosher but I love the premise So Irsquom plan-ning on sandwiching my brisket between latkes this year (Irsquoll top with grilled scallions and Bonnie Benwickrsquos roasted-apple pear sauce)

De La Torre uses the same top secret latke recipe from the time the restaurant first opened 15 years ago But he adds sometimes hersquoll change things up and add extra ingredients like roasted red peppers or Spanish onions or even sprinkles of Cajun sausage (again you can use a kosher variation)

He recommends Idaho potatoes believing they are firmer and have a better flavor He uses a traditional method of mixing the grated potatoes with eggs flour scallions or chives noting ldquopersonally I like chives ndash smaller and the flavor is less strong than scallionsrdquo Mix to incorporate the ingredients but watch the amount of flour He cautions ldquoif you put too much in it will feel like a rock You want something nice and firm and creamy ndash not too hard not too softrdquo

After you mix season with kosher salt and black pepper and ldquotaste it ndash you should always taste itrdquo If the mixture is too hard add a couple more eggs Too loose add more flour

De La Torre uses soybean oil because of the flavor Heat the oil in the pan until itrsquos hot but not too hot ldquoYou donrsquot want to see the pan smoking Sprinkle some water in and it will jumprdquo Then (herersquos the tip for restaurant-perfect latkes) float a circular cookie cutter in the oil and spoon the mixture into the round mold Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes (until brown) and then flip to the other side Cook for another 3-4 minutes and serve

10 gorgeous new cookbooks to give ndash or keep

(and some recipes to share)by Sue Tomchin

A few years ago some predicted that cookbooks would soon be joining the multi-volume sets of the World Book Encyclopedia and VCR players in the realm of the outmoded and passeacute The vast recipe databases of the Internet with their hundreds of easily downloadable recipes were just too convenient and varied How could a traditional cookbook stand a chance

Some people meditate or do yoga in order to relax Zoe Nathan bakes Na-than is a chef at Santa Monica Califor-niarsquos popular eatery Huckleberry Bak-ery amp Cafeacute The cafeacute is celebrated for its baked treats as well as brunch and breakfast fare (not to mention lunch and catering) focusing on seasonal or-ganic fresh-from-the-farm ingredients Along with her baking responsibilities Zoe is a restaurateur who with her hus-band Josh Loeb runs not only the cafeacute but several neighborhood businesses

After being introduced by their moms she and Josh bonded over their shared love of food They opened the Huckle-berry Cafeacute in 2009 three weeks after their wedding and it was an immediate hit

In her new book Zoe dazzles with 115 recipes for such breakfast and baked treats as rustic Blueberry Cornmeal Cake a signature cake at the cafeacute Choc-olate Chocolate Tea Cake made with cocoa coffee and chopped dark choco-late Cherry-Tomato Goat Cheese Cob-bler (her favorite summer breakfast) Ricotta Griddlecakes which Zoe says are reminiscent of the blintzes she ate at delis with her grandparents Braised Brisket and Fingerling Potato Hash (serve brisket for dinner one night and for hash the next day) and Fresh Blueberry Brioche sumptuously fea-tured on the bookrsquos cover The best way to eat the latter she writes is to ldquodrop it in the middle of your table and have people rip it apart right out of the ovenrdquo (Chronicle $35)

This is one of my favorite breakfasts to make during the summer It wonrsquot look or feel like a traditional deep-dish cobbler because itrsquos made in a skillet and there isnrsquot an overabundance of tomatoes think of it more as a shallow-dish cobbler Itrsquos meant to be served family-style and therersquos nothing more fun and beautiful than sitting around a table drinking coffee all eating from the same warm skillet I keep a bunch of these biscuits ready to bake in my freezer so throwing this together at the last minute is easy This cobbler is really just as much about the biscuits as it is about the tomatoes Depending on my mood and my crowd Irsquoll add more or less goat cheese

1 To make the biscuit topping Combine the whole-wheat flour all-purpose flour cornmeal baking powder sugar and salt in a very large bowl Stir to blend Toss the butter with the flour mixture Work the butter between your fingertips until the pieces are pea- and lima bean-size Add the buttermilk and lightly toss to distribute

2 Dump the dough onto a clean work surface Begin by firmly pressing the entire surface of the dough with the heel of your palm Toss and squeeze the dough to redistribute the wet and dry patches Repeat pressing thoroughly again with the heel of your palm and continue pressing tossing and squeezing until it begins to hold together But be sure not to overwork the dough It should stay together but you should still see pea-size bits of butter running through it

3 Press the dough into a disc frac34 in thick Cut the dough into nine biscuits Transfer to an ungreased sheet pan and freeze for 1 to 2 hours Preheat your oven to 350degF

4 To make the filling Combine the cherry tomatoes olive oil 2 sprigs of the thyme and the salt in an ovenproof sauteacute pan Cover and cook over high heat until the tomatoes begin to soften 2 to 3 minutes Uncover and con-tinue cooking until all the tomatoes burst slightly

5 Brush the frozen biscuits with egg wash and arrange them 1 in apart on top of the tomato mixture in the skillet Bake for 25 minutes Remove briefly and quickly dollop the goat cheese between the biscuits over any exposed tomato Return to the oven increasing the temperature to 475degF and continue baking until the top is nicely browned about 10 minutes longer Serve warm or at room temperature topped with the remaining thyme

From The Modern Kosher Kitchen by Ronnie Fein Fair Winds Press 2014 used with permission Photo by Glen Scott Photography


NOURISH

At one time the name of Ronnie Feinrsquos new book would have seemed almost like an oxymoron How could you com-bine the words ldquomodernrdquo and ldquokosherrdquo in the same title when kosher food seemed

to rely primarily for inspiration on the traditional foods of past generations That has changed dramatically and Fein a long time food writer and cooking teacher played a key role in this transi-tion thanks to her popular 2008 book Hip Kosher ( Jamie Geller another influ-ential contemporary kosher cook pro-vides the foreword for the new book)

Feins latest is a book that home cooks both kosher and not will relish Recog-nizing that modern cooks are intrigued by a range of international ingredients and spices she uses these to create innovative multi-cultural recipes that will add interest to family meals and entertaining

She seasons carrot soup with the spicy chili pepper paste harissa balancing the heat with mellow coconut milk and uses the traditional Jewish beef cut

flanken as the basis of Grilled Korean-Style Short Ribs Plain old pot roast is enlivened with the addition of fresh herbs and a side of horseradish mashed potatoes and she brightens the flavor of roasted chicken breasts with citrus zest and juice and honey She brings turkey back from its once or twice a year place on the table with recipes for a Roasted Turkey Half Breast with Herbs and Veg-etables and Panko-Crusted Turkey Cut-lets with Cranberry and Pear Chutney

Feinrsquos recipes are creative and easy and she uses healthy ingredients all quali-ties that promise to resonate with todayrsquos families Like Hip Kosher this is a book that yoursquoll want to use rather than shelve and it may become a dog-eared friend we turn to in the daily struggle to get a tasty meal on the table(Fair Winds Press $1907)

My husband Ed once declared this ldquothe best dish I ever hadrdquo The flavors are intriguing ndash therersquos heat from harissa but coconut milk to tame the spiciness and whole fragrant cloves to give it that mysterious something

1 Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat

2 Add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes Add the garlic and carrots and cook briefly

3 Add the stock and cloves bring to a boil lower the heat cover the pan partially and cook for 25 minutes or until the carrots are soft

4 Remove the cloves Pureacutee the soup in a food processor or blender (or use a hand blender)

5 Return the soup to the pan Whisk in the harissa

6 Stir in the coconut milk Bring the soup to a simmer Cook for 10 minutes

7 Taste for seasoning and add salt to taste Serve garnished with toasted coconut if desired

Note Canned coconut milk is thicker and more concentrated than refrigerator case coconut milk You can use either here but I prefer the canned kind for this soup Hot and spicy ingre-dients such as harissa need some balance in a dish otherwise yoursquore just tasting pepper Cool rich sweet ingredients such as coconut milk do the trick


In 2009 nostalgia for the family dinners of her childhood inspired photographer Karen Mordechai to invite 10 friends to dinner at the Brooklyn loft she shares with her husband They cooked together ldquosat down to eat and had a lovely timerdquo she writes ldquoAs the sun set over the water we all toasted the meal and everything felt just rightrdquo She blogged about the ex-perience word spread and people began asking to attend the next dinner

Thus was born Sunday Suppers an in-person and online cooking and dining community Mordechai has now created a cookbook based on the experience ldquoa compilation of recipes that one might use to plan gatherings for groups both large and smallrdquo she writes adding ldquoI hope this book inspires you to set out and make beautiful meals with the peo-ple you hold dearrdquo Mordechairsquos photos appear throughout and have an inviting simplicity

The recipes are straightforward and wholesome yet imaginative with a dash of sophistication Fried green tomato sandwiches are served with mint mayo and watercress a winter brunch menu features Tea and Ginger Cured Sea Bass instead of the more traditional smoked salmon Apple Cider Cakes are made with olive oil spiced with cardamom and baked in mini bundt pans The book restores a joyous inventiveness and so-ciability to food preparation and enter-taining that can get lost in busy lives It shows us how to slow down and relish the process of making delicious things together everything bagels homemade ricotta and our own mixed root vegetable chips ldquoa hit with kids and parents alikerdquo

From Food Family and Tradition ndash Hungarian Kosher Family Recipes and Remembrances by Lynn Kirsche Shapiro The Cherry Press Used with permission

Through the meals and stories her father and mother Holocaust survivors Sandor and Margit Kirsche prepared and shared Lynn Kirsche Shapiro was able to con-

nect with daily life from before the war and with the memory of relatives who were killed ldquoCooking with my parents connected me with their family and filled the voidrdquo Shapiro writes Recipes and memoir intertwine in Shapirorsquos beautiful heartfelt book

She relates the story of her parents sur-vival and subsequent emigration and how they rebuilt their lives in the US going on to found Hungarian Kosher Foods in Skokie Ill the largest kosher supermarket in the Midwest Her moth-er was known for her culinary talents preparing dishes for both the store and her family Shapiro presents more than 150 original recipes from her mother relatives and friends both in the US and Israel The recipes were carefully tested and preparation methods up-dated for the contemporary kitchen

Many of the classic Central and East-ern European Jewish dishes are here Chopped Chicken Liver Chicken Pa-prikaacutes with Dumplings Hungarian Gou-lash Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup with Meat Pickled Vegetables and Marble Cake She encourages readers not to be intimidated by baking with yeast and provides a recipe for Sweet Yeast Dough which uses as the basis of Cheese Dan-ish (Deltelach) and other traditional pastries Many recipes are accompanied by reminiscences that offer glimpses of pre-war life

The hearty dishes that Shapiro in-cludes are Jewish comfort foods at their best too satisfying to relegate to the past Her book makes it pos-sible for us to again make them part of Shabbat and holiday menus creating new Jewish memories along the way(Cherry Press $35)

We sell Hungarian Goulash in Hungarian Kosher Foods it is authentic goulash made with only meat potatoes and onions For this recipe I have added optional mushrooms and carrots The secret to making a good goulash is first sauteacuteing the meat without any liquid and second adding authentic Hungarian paprika Liquid is only added later with the potatoes Non-kosher Hungarian goulash also calls for sour cream however we do not mix meat and dairy

1 Film the bottom of an 8-quart pot with oil Add the beef onions garlic paprika and pepper Sauteacute on low stirring frequently until the meat is browned then cover and cook on low stirring often until the liquid from the beef and onions has mostly evaporated about 1 hour If the liquid has not sufficiently evaporated at the end of cooking uncover and cook until frac12 inch of liquid remains

2 After the liquid has evaporated add flour and stir Cook to brown stirring about 10 minutes being careful not to burn Add enough water to cover the meat stirring until smooth Add the potatoes and salt Add carrots and mushrooms if using Bring to a boil

3 Cover decrease heat to low and simmer until potatoes are cooked and meat is tender about 30 to 45 minutes

4 Serve ladled into large bowls and accompany with fresh bread


When as a teenager Nava Atlas an-nounced to her family that she was giv-ing up meat her mom told her she would have to cook for herself ldquoas she wasnrsquot about to prepare two different mealsrdquo Soon Atlasrsquos family was asking to try her dishes and before long her mom was making meals she could eat a departure from the ldquomeaty Eastern European Jew-ish farerdquo the family often ate Those early experiences cooking vegetarian sowed the seeds for Atlasrsquos long-time career as a bestselling author and expert on vegan and vegetable cooking

ldquoMany people would love to adopt a life-style that includes more fresh and whole foods and is better for their healthrdquo At-las writes The goal of her new book is

to provide a ldquotemplaterdquo to do just that ldquowhether that diet is going to be followed full-time or notrdquo

Atlasrsquos recipes are varied and colorful Pasta with Hearty Lentil and Spinach Sauce Thai-Style Pineapple-Coconut Rice Sweet and Sour Stir-Fried Veg-etable with Seitan or Tempeh Coconut Curried Vegetable Stew and Unbaked Fudgy Brownies (flourless and gluten-free) The recipes are geared to busy people who need to get meals on the table quickly and donrsquot have hours to spend shopping for hard-to-find ingredi-ents She readily acknowledges that using canned beans store bought pasta sauce or salsa and pre-cut vegetables helps when time is limited In each chapter of

the book she even presents at least one full-fledged ldquoemergency mealrdquo ndash ldquothat last bastion of hope before you reach for the take-out menusrdquo

This sweet-and-sour stir-fry has several steps but can be made easily and at a leisurely pace Best of all it results in a delicious and nourishing meal

1 Heat half the oil broth or water in a stir-fry pan or wok Add the seitan or tempeh and stir-fry over medium-high heat until lightly browned stirring frequently about 5 minutes Transfer to a plate and set aside

2 Heat the remaining oil broth or water in the pan Add the onion and sauteacute over me-dium heat until golden Turn up the heat add the garlic broccoli and bell peppers and stir-fry for 5 minutes

3 Stir in the zucchini and stir-fry just until everything is tender-crisp about 2 minutes longer then stir in the tomatoes and pineapple chunks

4 Stir in the sauce and cook until it thickens Taste and adjust the sweet-sour balance with more agave andor vinegar (as called for in the sauce recipe) to your liking

5 Serve at once over hot cooked grains or noodles Pass around any of the optional items for topping individual portions

6 To make the sauce Combine the fruit juice with the arrowroot in a mixing bowl and stir until dissolved

7 Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together Add to sweet-and-sour stir-fries and noodle dishes toward the end of their cooking time and cook until thickened

Note Why a pound of seitan

but just 8 ounces of tempeh Seitan is more moist and less dense a

pound of tempeh would be quite intense in this

dish But if yoursquore a big fan of tempeh and want a higher-protein

dish go for itmdashuse two 8-ounce packages

This is especially good served over bean-

thread noodles or Asian brown rice vermicelli

but soba or udon work well too Long-grain

brown rice and brown basmati rice are good

choices as well

of cocoa and espresso powder finish-ing with a flourish of sea salt toppingAn intensely black chocolate layer cake is made with stout and features a salted caramel cream cheese buttercream ic-ing Their apple pie is unusual before applying the top crust they sprinkle on crumbled blue cheese The result is a pie they describe as ldquojuicy sweet and subtly sharprdquo

Two recipes from the book would be standouts for upcoming Jewish holidays for Chanukah on which eating cheese is traditional therersquos an ldquoairy tangyrdquo Chocolate Cheesecake with Sour Cream topping and for Purim Apricot Orange Hamantaschen The latter features step-by-step photos one of a number of use-ful photo how-tos featured in the book (Harlequin $2995)

1 Prepare the crust In a small saucepan over low heat (or in a small microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven) melt the butter and set aside to cool Pour the butter into a large bowl and whisk in the sugar and then the graham cracker crumbs Combine thoroughly

2 Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan and a third of the way up the sides Freeze the crust for at least 30 minutes to set

3 Preheat the oven to 375⁰F

4 Prepare the filling Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer) on medium speed until fluffy about 2 minutes Turn the machine off scrape down the sides of the bowl and add 1frac14 cups sugar and the cocoa Mix on low for 10 seconds Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until smooth about 1 minute

5 Scrape down the sides of the bowl and with the machine off add the eggs vanilla extract and salt Beat the filling on medium-low speed for about 10 seconds then increase the speed to medium-high until fluffy and silky smooth about 30 more seconds

6 Remove the prepared crust from the freezer and pour the filling into the springform pan Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 30 minutes

7 While the cheesecake bakes prepare the topping In a large bowl whisk together the sour cream sugar vanilla extract and salt

8 Remove the cheesecake from the oven leaving the oven at 375degF Very carefully spoon the sour cream topping on the hot cake and use a spatula to smooth it to form a thin even layer over the top being careful not to press too hard on the delicate hot cake Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes more or until the top looks set

9 Cool the cheesecake completely at room temperature and then chill thoroughly (at least 6 hours) before serving


1 Combine the warm water 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and yeast in a small bowl and set aside

2 Combine the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar frac12 cup water butter and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat Add about half of the glutinous rice flour and all of the white rice flour and stir with a long-handled metal or wooden spoon until smooth Turn the heat to low and push the dough around the pan for 2 more min-utes turning it over in the pan to avoid scorching Scrape the dough into the mixer bowl Break the eggs into the still-hot saucepan and swirl to warm them

3 With the mixer on medium speed add the eggs one at a time beating after each is add-ed until the dough is glossy and smooth When all of the eggs are added scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the yeast mixture vanilla and the remaining glutinous rice flour Mix on medium speed until very smooth and elastic

4 Pour oil to a depth of about 2 inches in the deep-fat fryer or saucepan and heat to 350degF Using two spoons or a small spring-loaded scoop place 1frac12-teaspoon-sized lumps of batter in the oil Do not crowd the pan or fryer each lump of batter will expand about eightfold After a minute or so use long-handled tongs to turn the beignets Fry until very brown on all sides 3 to 5 minutes If necessary to test doneness cut a beignet in half Drain on a cake rack repeat with the remaining batter

5 To serve immediately roll the beignets in powdered sugar To serve later reheat the beignets for 5 minutes in a 400degF oven and then roll in powdered sugar Beignets may be stored loosely covered with a paper towel at room temperature for up to 2 days before reheating

Makes 3 dozen beignets

NoteThe easiest and tidiest way to roll beignets in spiced sugar or powdered sugar without getting your hands in the mix is to pile the beignets in a medium lightweight metal (not plastic) bowl with the sugar and tumble them gently back and forth into another lightweight bowl until all are coated

The aroma when frying these beignets is the first clue that they taste gloriously of yeast butter and eggs Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar are always a good finish or go overboard and coat them with bittersweet chocolate glaze Do try the technique for reheating they are just as good as freshly fried without the last-minute attention The sweet rice flour holds moisture in these doughnuts and makes them slightly chewy It also helps them stay fresher longer and reheat splendidly

Rose Levy Beranbaum is the Dalai Lama of baking the person who has achieved so much wisdom that she is in a class by herself She is the winner of numerous awards and followers for books such as Rosersquos Heavenly Cakes The Cake Bible and The Pie and Pastry Bible Her new book draws on her expertise in every category of baking and features all-new recipes with the meticulous attention to detail wersquove come to expect helping us to achieve superb baking results

As Minneapolis attorney Marie Wolf leader of a group who baked and blogged about every recipe in Rosersquos Heavenly Cakes and helped to test many of the rec-ipes in the current book writes ldquoRosersquos recipes are delicious And they are deli-cious without failrdquo

Baking Biblersquos recipes range from in-formal to elaborate She shows us how to make the simple yet divine Reneacutee Fleming Golden Chiffon ldquothe soprano

of golden lemon cakesrdquo adorned with lemon curd whipped cream and lemon zest she also presents the sophisticated Polish Princess its sponge infused with Tea Vodka Syrup and topped with two layers of vanilla pudding one enhanced with cocoa and walnuts and the other with chopped chocolate and raisins

Beranbaum does nothing halfway Her Luxury Oatmeal Cookies are made with her own homemade granola and for ha-mantaschen she develops her own ldquoten-der slightly flaky very buttery and vanilla imbuedrdquo sweet cookie crust a reaction to the ldquosturdyrdquo doughs she encountered in bakery versions of the Purim sweet Her book also features recipes for other Jew-ish classics including rugelach honey cake and babka for which she offers de-tailed instructions and multiple fillings

With her expert explanations baking even complex treats seem within reach Baking Bible is a book to learn from and

be inspired by not surprising in a book that borrows its name from that other book we turn to in search of a different kind of guidance

(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt $40)

This lemony cake soars above all others in my repertoire making it the soprano of golden lemon cakes (It is the counterpart to the Chocolate Domingo from The Cake Bible which I call the tenor of chocolate cakes) It is extraordinarily light tender moist and lemony ndash in a word divine It required seventeen tests between Woody and me to perfect the texture The breakthrough came with the discovery of beating the whites beyond the stiff peak stage which gave higher volume and raising the oven temperature slightly to set the structure more quickly This cake is dedicated to my favorite soprano of the golden voice the incomparable Reneacutee Fleming The special garnish is a stardust trail of powdered golden lemon zest

1 Preheat the Oven Twenty minutes or longer before baking set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350degF175degC (325degF160degC if using a dark pan)

2 Mix the Liquid Ingredients In a 2 cup or larger glass measure with a spout combine the egg yolks oil water lemon zest lemon oil and vanilla

3 Make the Batter In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk beater mix the flour all but 1 tablespoon of the sugar the baking powder and salt on low speed for 30 seconds Make a well in the center Add the egg mixture to the well and beat on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary Raise the speed to medium-high and beat until very thick about 1frac12 minutes

If you donrsquot have a second mixer bowl scrape this mixture into a large bowl and thoroughly wash rinse and dry the mixer bowl and whisk beater to remove any trace of oil

(continued on page 44)

Note Unbleached all-purpose flour prevents the cake from deflating significantly


4 Beat the Egg Whites into a Stiff Meringue In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk beater beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-low speed until foamy Gradually raise the speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form when the beater is raised Beat in the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and continue beating until very stiff clumps form when the beater is raised about 2 minutes

5 Add the Meringue to the Batter Using a large bal-loon wire whisk slotted skimmer or large silicone spatula gently fold the meringue into the batter in three parts folding until partially blended between additions and then folding until completely incorporated after the last addi-tion If using the whisk you will need to gently shake out the meringue that gathers in the center as you fold

Using a silicone spatula scrape the batter into the pan Run a small offset spatula in circles through the batter to prevent air pockets and smooth the surface Insert the rose nail base side down into the center of the batter so that it sits on the bottom of the pan (The batter should fill a 3 inch high pan just under half full)

6 Bake the Cake Bake for 35 to 40 minutes The cake will

dome above the top of the pan Avoid opening the oven

door before the minimum baking time or the fragile cake

could fall Watch carefully When the cake lowers slightly

and a wooden skewer inserted between the sides and the

center comes out clean remove the cake from the oven

7 Cool and Unmold the Cake Let the cake sit for about

1 minute just until it is no longer higher than the rim of the

pan Immediately invert the cake still in the pan onto the

prepared wire rack and let it cool for about 1frac12 hours or

until the outside of the pan is cool to the touch

Invert the pan again Run a small metal spatula between

the sides of the pan and the cake pressing it firmly against

the pan and moving it in a sideways manner Remove the

cake strips and the sides of the springform and release the

bottom of the cake from the bottom of the pan pressing

the spatula against the bottom of the pan Invert the cake

and lift off the pan bottom Remove the rose nail and rein-

vert the cake onto a serving plate

Making jam is an involved yet satisfying endeavor In Israel this en-deavor became a way to connect for a group of women who have lost immediate family members in the Israeli and Palestinian conflict

The women are all members of the womenrsquos group of the Parents Circle ndash Families Forum (PCFF) an organization that provides an op-portunity for Israelis and Palestinians to meet Rather than allowing bereavement to serve as yet another reason to hate PCFFs activities aim to use personal stories to build empathy and understanding in the hope of preventing further bereavement on both sides

Under the culinary mentorship of Israeli star chef and TV personality Gil Hovav and Palestinian chef Hussam Abbas women in the group contributed family recipes for jams (pumpkin plum mixed fruit etc) olives and pickled vegetables such as cucumbers turnips and peppers They then prepared the recipes together

Compiled in this unique and meaningful cookbook published by PCFF the recipes are accompanied by the womenrsquos photos and their individual stories

ldquoHow can anyone hate the Jews with all the scrumptious things they producerdquo asks the late still deeply missed Joan Rivers in her introduction to Eating Delancey ndash A Celebration of Jewish Food by Aaron Rezny and Jordan Schaps (Powerhouse Books $35) Perusing this book stirs up up an old-time delirsquos size serving of nostalgia for anyone ndash with New York roots or not ndash whose food memories reside in the realm of such Ashkenazi Jewish soul foods as chopped liver kasha varnishkes kishke and other classics

The pages of Eating Delancey are filled to overflowing like bubbersquos icebox There are pinup photos of borscht pickles

flanken and crusty rye bread and recipes from famous restaurants past and pres-ent Sammyrsquos Roumanians Chopped Liver Ratnerrsquos Cheese Blintzes and 2nd Avenue Delirsquos Mushroom Barley Soup Food lovers chime in with treasured family recipes Erica Kalick of Ericarsquos Rugelach and Baking Company for example contributes Aunt Pearlrsquos Old-Fashioned Rugelach recipe which in-spired her to start her own bakery

The book is at its best in the stories it shares We read about famous Jewish food companies and restaurants like Streitrsquos Russ and Daughters and Rat-nerrsquos (of blessed memory) but also hear from individuals both famous and not Renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman

writes about Cake Mastersrsquo Seven Layer Cake and Designer Isaac Mizrahi about a Brazilian supermodel who swore him to secrecy after he saw her ordering pas-trami and cream soda at Fine amp Scha-piro a Manhattan deli Others rhapso-dize about Grandma Sylviarsquos chalushkas (cabbage rolls) or Grandma Lillianrsquos butter cookies or share anecdotes about Passover Seders and other memorable meals of the past

Jewish food is the stuff that dreams businesses humor (and sometimes heartburn) are made of As Don Rickles writes about living and eating in New York ldquoWhen you belched the wind picked it up in Californiardquo

From the Red Tent to the TenementAnita Diamantrsquos new novel looks at friendship and feminism in the early 1900s

by Meredith Jacobs

In her new novel The Boston Girl (Scribner Dec 9) Anita Diamant author of The Red Tent brings us the story of Addie who at 85 shares her life story with her twenty-two-year-old granddaughter Through Addiersquos warm wise and wickedly funny words we learn what it was like for a young girl born to immigrant parents to come of age in America post-World War I Her lifelong friendships with the ldquoSatur-day Club Girlsrdquo ndash Filomena and Gussie her sis-ters ndash the tragic and desperately sad Celia and the strong and inspiring Betty and her beloved husband Aaron all influence her life and the woman she ultimately becomes

We talked to Diamant about writing The Bos-ton Girl and what itrsquos like to see her ground-breaking novel The Red Tent reimagined on the small screen in the Lifetime miniseries airing December 7th and 8th


I really loved Addie Is she inspired by your grandmother

No not my grandmother As usual I started in a different place and wound up with Addie She came to me along the way There is a real place called Rockport Lodge [a retreat center] where women of limited means could go [early in the 20th century] I watched it crumble It was a vestige of a different time The land was sold and the money was given to a domestic abuse program ndash so it continues to live on in a different way I originally planned to write a novel about the lodge did research on it and found myself in a very progressive era for women Organizations were being founded to help women and girls There was even a law school that only women went to I learned all of this amazing his-tory and wanted to write a book about this era and place the book in Rockport Lodge I sketched out the characters ndash all of whom are in Boston Girl ndash but Ad-die emerged as the strongest it became her story

I didnrsquot really plot it out All of my books tell a historical story from a very close-up not global perspective How did the American girl live through World War I I think through Addie I gave an accu-rate portrayal of that life

I found it so hard to like Mameh Addiersquos mother I kept hoping she would in some way be redeemed

Mameh was a very distressed human be-ing She suffered a lot of losses She was afraid She had a daughter who was clin-ically depressed She lost three children Not everyone bounces back I think Mameh was damaged and didnrsquot have the internal resources to recover

Was there a real Saturday Evening Club

Yes Saturday Evening Girls was a club in the North End of Boston at the Bennet Street Settlement house Now itrsquos an Ital-ian neighborhood then it was a mixed community It was one of the worst tenements ndash death diseasehelliphorrible Itrsquos where Edith Guerrier (Chevalier in the book) and Edith Brown (Green in book) created the library clubs for the older girls They taught girls how to take responsibility and stand up in front of an audience and go out into the world Addie stumbles into the world Edith Chevalier sees something in her and the world opens up to her There she meets Gussie who goes to law school and Filomena Womenrsquos friend-ships unite all my books And these are cross-cultural ndash I wanted people from different backgrounds All immigrants They are all trying to be fulfilled Things were changing This is about becoming an American

Why do you have the granddaughter become a rabbi

It shows how far women came in that century ndash from women not being able to say Kaddish to women becoming rabbis and running congregations

Can you talk about the newspaper Why did Addie go to work for the paper

I needed for her to make a leap forward in her life She was stuck as a secretary She wanted to go to college The col-umnist shows up and inspires her For a while I wondered what her career would be I thought a writer ndash but that isnrsquot where she ends up The wonder-ful thing about being a journalist is it takes you into worlds you wouldnrsquot nor-mally have access to So her world gets widened And she finds women who are her mentors

Womenrsquos friendships

unite all my books

And these are cross-

cultural ndash I wanted

people from different

backgrounds

All immigrants

They are all trying

to be fulfilled

Things were changing

This is about becoming

an American

I also think that in the process she learns through the difficulties of the world and even more through Aaron and that leads to social work Simmons was the first school with a social work program Social work was a new career ndash all of this was just being invented These new fields all gave women entry telephone opera-tors typists clerks in department stores All that was new This is where women were hired

What advice would you give a granddaughter wanting to ask her grandmother about her life

I donrsquot want to idealize this In a lot of families thatrsquos not easy There are disap-pointments on both sides People donrsquot understand each other Not all grand-mothers are so forthcoming and charm-ing Addie is a social worker ndash very self-aware Not everyone likes to talk with grandchildren about pain

I donrsquot want to romanticize difficult questions Itrsquos good to ask if you can but some children are afraid of their grand-parents Addie shared some difficult stuff but how much do you want to hear about your grandmotherrsquos sex life Shersquos a wise guy ndash she has a sense of humor Yes we should ask but we shouldnrsquot be disappointed if it doesnrsquot work

How was the process of writing The Boston Girl different from writing The Red Tent

I was writing Red Tent in the mid-90s It was published 17 years ago The internet was worthless I spent a lot of time in li-braries A lot was missing ndash there were a lot of holes So I invented stuff ndash stuff that was historically possible So no chickens but goats I tried to make it historically possible For Boston Girl therersquos a lot of information And I live in Boston so I in-terviewed people Therersquos so much more to know and so much more thatrsquos know-able What they [the books] have in

common is that they are both told in the first person by the main character ndash they are tied together in the narrator voice

Your book The Red Tent has been made into a mini-series that airs on Lifetime on December 7 and 8 Did the characters and backdrop look as you had envi-sioned

Therersquos no way a movie can meet with what I envisioned I sold the rights I didnrsquot have anything to do with the mov-ie Thatrsquos how it goes and Irsquom okay with that What Irsquom curious about is what the audience will think

Irsquom not going to review the movie I think they made it with passion and respect Itrsquos a different vision from mine but it re-mains a celebration of womenrsquos wisdom and strength ndash it does communicate that very strongly

Irsquom sure some people will be disappoint-ed but it will also introduce people to the book or remind them of the book It gets the message of womenrsquos strength even in biblical times to a big audience and Irsquom happy about that

The movie is a different way of tell-ing the story Itrsquos all storytelling Thatrsquos good Storytelling makes us human and stretches the imagination

Itrsquos retelling the story Irsquom so honored So honored that someone fell in love with the story to tell the story the way they saw it

CHANUKAH REDISCOVERED

Lighting the menorah was the first step in one familys renewed relationship with Judaism

While she was immersed in her life as a professional storyteller wife of a rabbi and mother of two teenagers Debra Gor-don Zaslow of Ashland Oregon decided to bring her 103-year-old grandmother Bubbe who was dying alone in a nursing facility

home to live and die with her family This story is excerpted and adapted from the moving book she wrote about her expe-rience Bringing Bubbe Home ndash A Memoir of Letting Go Through Love and Death (White Cloud Press 2014)


hen David and I began dating in 1978 neither of us had celebrated Chanukah in years We were so es-tranged from our Jewish roots that if you told me

then that David would one day become a rabbi I would have laughed my head off

Three years after our first date when Rachel was a week old I opened the newspaper and read ldquoChanukah Begins Tonightrdquo Suddenly it mattered

ldquoDo we have a Menorahrdquo I asked David

He crawled into our storage space and brought up a huge box

ldquoA Menorah that bigrdquo

ldquoItrsquos just wrapped big he said We peeled through layers of yel-lowed newspaper to uncover a hand-cast brass menorah from Jerusalem that had been handed down in his family for genera-tions We cleared a space on the hearth set up the candles and sang the blessings slowly hold-ing our infant daughter close to the light

We joined the little Jewish con-gregation in the Valley because we wanted connection to the community and our roots but we had little connection to God I went to High Holy Days services in the fall because the words of the prayers made me feel quiet inside In those days David was too busy working to join me he was teaching poetry writing text-books and running his jazz club

It wasnrsquot until Rachel was seven and Ari almost five that David had a religious awakening Hersquod spent two years on an album of childrenrsquos poetry with music that ended up an award-winning product but a financial disas-ter After sinking our savings into it we were broke and David was depressed He began studying Torah with a local rabbi and going to services while he searched for something missing in his life

When he dove into studying Judaism I was as bewildered as if he had a new woman in his life and I felt my bias against

religion rising My father used to say ldquoAll religious people are rigid especially Orthodox Jewsrdquo He was probably talking about the stringent rabbis at the cheder he was forced to attend after school when he wanted to play football Like so many Jews in the post-Holocaust generation my parents raised me to know my roots but not to be devout Light candles at Chanu-kah eat lox and bagels but most of all be American blend in

When David started wearing a yarmulke I was embarrassed The handsome poet and businessman Irsquod married was morph-ing into a religious man with a scraggly beard In those days when I wasnrsquot busy teaching storytelling and taking care of our kids I was exploring my inner child with my womenrsquos

group For me psychology was the route to personal growth not religion

I began to see changes in David though For the first time in years his eyes filled with tears as he prayed and I sensed his softening when he sang Shabbat melodies lit candles and taught the chil-dren blessings

On a chilly day in January a year after he found Judaism we sat on the couch I said ldquoI was afraid we were growing apart but I think itrsquos okay nowrdquo

He nodded ldquoWersquove been on dif-ferent pathsrdquo

ldquoYours is more spiritual minersquos more emotional but I think wersquore headed in the same directionrdquo I said as I reached up and touched his face

He covered my hand with his ldquoAre you through complaining about my beardrdquo

ldquoDonerdquo I said

Since hersquos become a Jewish Renewal rabbi Davidrsquos had room to create his own style full of singing poetry and humor He leads services with the same soft electricity as when he strummed the guitar in my second grade class Hersquos found his place

Irsquove slowly carved out a place at his side When we went to Israel in 1990 I discovered Jewish stories called to me more

SPEAK

deeply than the other folktales Irsquod been telling These were my stories Now I tell stories at services create plays in our Sun-day school and lead womenrsquos rituals On Friday nights when we light candles together and bless our children I see the safety of the circle we stand in Rachel and Ari know where they belong

ldquoIf it werenrsquot for yourdquo I tell David ldquoI donrsquot know if I would ever set foot in a synagoguerdquo

He replies ldquoThen yoursquore so lucky you married merdquo

The first night of Chanukah we carry our ancient brass meno-rah downstairs to light candles with Bubbe Marilyn her care-giver has gotten Bubbe dressed fed and up in the chair She wears loose red sweat pants and a zip-up sweatshirt Marilyn convinced me to buy her some clothes that are warm comfort-able and above all easy to get on and off Last week I made a run to a local discount store and bought about ten jogging outfits ldquoDis is nicerdquo Bubbe says when Marilyn puts her in a new sweat suit ldquoBut I donrsquot tink itrsquos minerdquo

Shersquos pleased to see us coming in with candles and thinks it must be Shabbat ldquoNo Bubbe tonight is the first night of Cha-nukahrdquo Rachel tells her Shersquos anxious to go has a six orsquoclock call for her play but she leans down and gives Bubbe a big kiss

ldquoChanukah Ven did it get to be Chanukahrdquo Bubbe throws up her hands

ldquoIt came early this yearrdquo David says

We set the menorah in front of Bubbe and I tell Ari to help her put the candles in it When he has a specific job to do hersquos more comfortable with her He gently curls his hands around her fingers as they push in one candle for the first night of Cha-nukah and the shammos candle to light the first one

Ari lights the shammos then hands it to Bubbe Her hand shakes as she slowly finds the wick and holds it until the flame flickers We turn off the overhead light so for a moment there is just that wavering hopeful light as it joins the other then grows stronger When Bubbe says the Chanukah prayer in her thick Yiddish accent it sounds like a different prayer Broicha-toi odonoi elehenu melechoilum The kids look quizzical as if theyrsquove never heard it before

David takes out his guitar and we sing ldquoI Have a Little Dreidelrdquo Bubbe croaks ldquoDreidel Dreidel Dreidelrdquo as she spins hers When Ari points out the Hebrew letters on each side of the dreidle to Bubbe hersquos surprised that she already knows what the letters mean Ness Gadol Haya Sham A Great Miracle Happened There

Bubbe looks up at the dancing light takes in the singing and says ldquoI never vould hev believed Irsquod live long enough to see dis To be here vit my grendchildren and great-grendchil-dren singing at Chanukah Who vould believe dis Ven I get home Irsquom going to tell dem about all of you deyrsquore not going to believe disrdquo
