Food In isolation, I made ‘terroir breads’ from the land
The Forward welcomes Erez Komarovsky as its newest contributing writer. Read more about Erez here. For the past two-and-a-half months, we have been quarantined in my hillside home in Mattat, in the north of Israel, just a few kilometers from the Lebanon border.

Food The Israeli Subscription Box Company Doing Its Apolitical Best
Emily Berg comes from a totally secular background in Toronto, Canada, and she doesn’t have Israeli parents or cousins.

Recipes Bestia’s Roasted Cauliflower With Paprika Aioli And Soft Herbs

According to tradition, a small olive oil jar was used to light the menorah in the Second Temple in Jerusalem for eight whole days, after the Jews had successfully risen against their Greek-Syrian oppressors.
