Ivan Orkin’s dashi-braised brisket is served with a Tokyo-style teriyaki sauce, scallions and an apple-ginger-honey chutney. My friend Ivan Orkin is a culinary alchemist; a cultural mishmash artist in the kitchen; a man with one foot planted firmly in New York’s hip downtown food scene and another, as firmly, in Tokyo. (If you’ve read our…
Tea smoked salmon and sweet potato curry. Jews living in India experienced peace, tolerance and respect for millennia. The subgroups of Jews living there were quite distinct from one another in their practices, folkways and food. The Jews of Kerala, around the city of Cochin, are often seen as a single unit — but they…

At the Central Conference of American Rabbis, we have to wrestle with the question “What does it mean to be Jewish in America today?” beyond the theoretical. In our charge is the basic structure and tone of worship for the largest group of Jews in the country, the Reform Movement. And when we took a…

While certainly delicious, the homey, Jewish grandmother-approved confection lacks a certain gravitas needed to convince very full people to make room for a few bites of something more. They just can’t compete with a lineup of pies, cookies and cake. But here’s…
