We’re less than a month away from Passover, and many of us are already dreaming of fluffy matzo balls in our soup.
But like most Jewish traditions, there’s a great debate surrounding matzo balls: That of floaters vs. sinkers.
Last year, our food editor Liza Schoenfien took to Twitter and found that 60 percent of our readers prefer fluffy floaters over heavy sinkers.
I don’t know about you, but 60-40 is too close for my comfort.
Help us settle the debate: Let us know what you think!
It’s time for our annual matzo ball poll: Do you prefer floaters or sinkers in your soup?

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
