As Thanksgiving nears, most of us are laser-focused on preparing (or procuring) the big turkey dinner.
But once the feast is finished, we can look forward to catching up with family and friends in a more leisurely fashion. Since brunch is the most leisurely meal of all, we’ve compiled our favorite breakfast recipes for you to whip up. From a classic kibbutz-style breakfast to a Sephardic savory pastry; from the Israeli egg dish Shakshuka to a pumpkin-apple breakfast challah, these recipes are perfect for the cozy long weekend ahead.
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.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
