A version of this article originally appeared in the Yiddish Forverts.
In this episode of “Est Gezunterheyt” (Eat In Good Health), Yiddish food scholar and gourmet chef Eve Jochnowitz and I demonstrate how to make cabbage strudel — a traditional dish for Sukkot.
Strudel — a Hungarian pastry — is usually sweet, filled with apples and sugar or raisins and nuts.
In this clip, we show you how to make a savory strudel that can serve as the main dish of the festive meal eaten in the sukkah.
My favorite part of the clip come towards the end, when we stretch out the dough in the air together. I’d never done this with dough before. It was kind of a magical moment and the result was amazing.
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.
