I’ve been hearing raves about The Babka Lady’s babka, so I reached out to baker and proprietor Frimet Goldberger to see if she happened to be offering a seasonal babka to serve at Thanksgiving.
Goldberger pointed me toward her pumpkin babkalah, a muffin-size cross between a rugelach and babka made with real pumpkin, pareve cream cheese and a hint of coconut, topped with crunchy streusel. The babkalach are also available in cinnamon, chocolate and cream cheese — the only variety that’s not pareve. A box of six is $20.

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.
