Two chefs in New York City are reinventing Jewish food – without going kosher – the Wall Street Journal reports.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate reviews Israeli wines and gives eight bottles a score of 90 points or higher on the 100-point scale, says Hakerem: The Israeli Wine Blog.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
