Wasn’t it just Purim? Well, it’s time to start thinking about Passover goodies.
At , the hipster-approved mail-order food operation, Passover items include whimsical gift boxes like Parting of the Sea Salt ($70), a collection of indie sea salts like herb salt from Amangansett Sea Salt and Citrus Salt from Farmer Freed. From Roni-Sue Chocolates, Mouth offers a new charoset-inspired matzo ($11) made with caramelized apple-toffee crunch and walnuts. And a miniature “Chocolate Moses” ($90) from Bond Street Chocolate “makes for a memorable and delicious table centerpiece”, Mouth claims. We’ll take its word for it.

Flourless chocolate cake truffles from Mini Melanie.
There’s nothing small about the success of Mini Melanie, the year-old bakery owned by Melanie Moss, formerly the pastry chef at the Blue Hill Café at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Her fledgling bakery was included in the 2016 New York City Michelin Guide. This week, the operation moves from its original digs in the Hot Bread Kitchen incubator in Harlem down to the Lower East Side, out of Hill & Dale gastropub. For Passover, Mini Melanie is offering flourless chocolate cake truffles.

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.
