What to Order: Matzo Ball Soup
Central Florida’s Chutzpah Truck — nicknamed Carla by its owners — dishes out kosher Jewish-American comfort food to sunglasses-clad crowds, bringing together bubbe’s cuisine staples, like brisket sandwich, and Israeli street food, like hummus. Perhaps the star of the operation — aside from Carla — is Chutzpah’s matzo ball soup, made with matzo and chive dumplings in a savory broth. And to round out the meal, what better choice than a black-and-white cookie, the delight of deli desserts everywhere?

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
