Talking Jews And Booze With Whiskey Expert Dan Friedman
Every time I hear the old saw that Jews aren’t drinkers, I scratch my head and wonder if my family, colleagues and friends are all somehow a minority-within-a-minority — or whether this little piece of conventional wisdom is all wet.

Recipes Joan Nathan’s Perfect Poppy-Seed Hamantaschen
When I was asked to speak to the student body at Phillips Exeter Academy, I thought about the irony of the situation. When I was young, Exeter had very few Jewish students, all male, and those who were open about their Judaism felt isolated. That is no longer the case. During my two days at…

My Trader Joe’s Love Affair
Perusing the aisles of a grocery store has always meant more to me than simply stocking my kitchen with essentials for the week. It was never a basic experience for me (milk: check; eggs: check; yogurt: check; vegetables: check). Rather, when you have a strong appreciation for ingredients, as I do, your grocery store trips…
