For those wondering whether Klingon Seders include four cups of Gagh, I did some homework. And, though the 51 and more varieties of the drink can involve worms processed in ways appropriate to the holiday, sadly the prohibition against the eating of creatures that slither on their bellies from Leviticus 11:42 rules out any prospect of kosher gagh — as long it’s made from real worms.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
