These 5 popular media mavens have enviable followings due to their inimitable takes on the wide world of Jewish food.
What Jew Wanna Eat: Whatever jew wanna know about multimedia star Amy Kritzer can be found on her website, Instagram, Twitter or in her recently released book, “Sweet Noshings.” The blonde and bubbly blogger aims to make the kosher lifestyle approachable and fun.
Yeah Thats Kosher: Come for Dani Klein’s mouthwatering Instagram, stay for his kosher-travel advice. Fitting that Dani works as a digital marketer — he sure knows how to draw an online crowd. His site ranks No. 1 in its category.
Zak the Baker: The epitomy of cool Kosher, young Zak has been called “Miami’s Best Baker,” with a baking outpost in the hipster Wynwood section of town and pedigree as a former pot dealer who knows from munchies. His Instagram makes us want to hop on a plane and head south.
Hot Dudes and Hummus: Shirts optional on this feed from four Israel-based university students, Betty Ilovici, Orly Geduld, Ayala Lesser and Israel Zari. Hot Dudes delivers precisely on its promise: Incredibly handsome men shown with plates of hummus. We featured hotdudes last year when it was brand new. Since then the Israeli dudes have gotten even hotter, with a following that’s grown to 40K.
Russ & Daughters: With the Twitter handle @loxpopuli and a heavy-weight Instagram feed, this popular New York appetizing shop, now owned by 4th-generation Russes (Niki Russ Federman and Josh Russ Tupper), offers up some of our favorite Jewish food porn. It also have a huge social media following. Thank goodness the shop ships nationwide.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
