Creamy Fontina Polenta and Truffled Mushrooms
This dish is perfect vegetarian comfort food, filled with wine, cheese, and mushrooms. Perfect to warm up a frozen Shabbat. I used an Instant Pot because my house is still being renovated, but you can definitely do it on your stovetop. I would make the mushrooms first, then the sauce and polenta last. Mushrooms and... → Read More

My aunt’s Tunisian couscous with beef I #TweetYourShabbat
It starts with a flurry of text. Where is the couscous!!? When are you going to cook our food in that column of yours? My Tunisian godsiblings want to know. I love couscous, but I am intimidated to cook it. Who am I, daughter of chopped liver and brisket, to attempt my Auntie Brigitte’s couscous? I text her tentatively. Should I buy a couscous maker? A real one? Will you teach me? She reassures… → Read More

Chocolate espresso cake for 100+ days without school
My daughter is standing on my shoulders. Literally. She is pulling my hair over my eyes. She is pushing Cheez-It in my mouth. She is kissing my cheeks. Normally, this would make me laugh. Except I am at work. During this particular Zoom meeting, my daughter has planted herself on me and will not be moved. My coworkers take it well. They laugh and ask if they can have a Cheez-It. She laughs and… → Read More

In Light of Rising Anti-Semitism, Rethinking Black-Jewish Relations –
This past Hanukkah was the darkest in a generation. December 2019 saw a seemingly endless wave of more than a dozen hate crimes, many violent. Two anti-Semitic domestic terror attacks left three dead, five stabbed, and one unlikely to awake from a coma. As our community grappled with fear and pain and dread, a painful … → Read More
Practical Awe –
As the High Holidays approach, we are commanded to take this time and ask ourselves hard questions. This month, Elul, is about reflecting, about pushing ourselves to be better. It’s never an easy task, and it’s rendered harder by the fact that we’ll be marking the High Holidays this year very close to the first … → Read More
What Donald Trump Will Never Understand About Jews –
Last night, the president of the United States called the vast majority of American Jews stupid or disloyal. You don’t need me to rehash the details, or to be the 10,000th person to attempt to find new English words to describe how heinous, twisted, and dangerous this statement is. What we need to do today … → Read More
Ilhan Omar's Guide to Israel –
When news broke last month that Rep. Ilhan Omar was planning a trip to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank with some of her congressional colleagues, I felt a subtle sense of hope. I disagree with many of Omar’s comments on the conflicts, but, given her rapid change in viewpoint after winning her election, I … → Read More
How to Talk About Israel and Palestine –
Recently, I was sitting with a dear friend over coffee. Because I am Jewish, and have written about Zionism, she asked if we could talk about Palestine. She is neither Jewish nor Palestinian; she’s never visited the region and speaks neither Hebrew nor Arabic. Yet she is very passionate about this topic. She wanted to … → Read More
Stop Wasting Time Arguing About Concentration Camps –
These are the six migrant children who have died in U.S. custody since September: Carlos Hernandez Vásquez, 16. Juan de Leon Gutiérrez, 16. Darlyn Cristabel Cordova-Valle, 10. Felipe Gomez Alonzo, 8. Jakelin Caal Maquín, 7. Wilmer Josué Ramírez Vásquez, 2 1/2 years old. This is America’s cruelty. This is America’s shame. These kids, and what … → Read More
What I Learned at the D.C. Dyke March –
This past Friday, just before Shabbat began, I attended the D.C. Dyke March with a group of queer Jewish women. I came because I stand with my sisters and with the LGBTQ community, but also because I never thought I’d have to stand with queer Jewish women in order to ensure they were safe from … → Read More
