Ess Gezunt – Eat in Good Health

Shabbat Shemini

Torah: Leviticus 9:1 - 11:47
Haftarah: II Samuel 6:1 - 7:17

“Ess Gezunt – Eat in Good Health”

Dear Friends,

Food is such an important part of Jewish life. From Shabbat to festival celebrations to Sunday brunch, we love our matzah balls, chicken soup, challah, bagels, lox, corned beef and pastrami and so much more. Judaism does indeed share a very special relationship with food. Yet, Jewish food is not just Ashkenazi style from eastern Europe.  Authentic Jewish foods come from every corner of the globe!
There are so many wonderful new Jewish cookbooks available to show you how to prepare Jewish delicacies.  These cookbooks represent the cuisine of Jewish communities from all over the world.  Interestingly, a new movie featuring celebrity chef Michael Solomonov called “In Search of Israeli Cuisine” concludes that modern Israeli cuisine is a fusion of international styles tweaked with a Jewish style. Thus, all forms of Jewish cooking have found a home in the new Israeli style.

Food is such an important part of Jewish life.  Try some new recipes and “Ess Gezunt – Eat in good health.”

Shabbat shalom,

Rabbi Eitan Weiner-Kaplow
