2 Rabbi’s Message MAH NISHTANAH: HOW IS THIS PASSOVER DIFFERENT? Rabbi Daniel M. Sherman

As I sat down to write this column, I went back We have become experts (or at least more proficient) to what I wrote for the March 2020 Temple Bulletin at Zoom and on-line gatherings, services, (written in February). I reflected on Installation celebrations and meetings. Last year we learned Shabbat from January (that seems now like a very how to celebrate Passover with family and friends in long time ago). I wrote about all that I was looking far-away places whom we would not have been able forward to that month, including our to see in-person. Annual Gala celebrating Temple Sinai’s 150th Here’s what else is different. More and more birthday, celebrations, and the upcoming members of our congregation and families are Limmud New Orleans. We also included getting vaccinated. We know what to do to stop the information about our annual Congregational spread. We know we can and will beat this virus. The Seder and lots of events and observances for losses have been devastating and astounding. But Passover. we can begin to picture an end to this pandemic and Thanks to some lucky timing, we were able a return to a new normal. We have come so far – to hold our Gala and celebrate Purim altogether now we are beginning to see a light at the end of the in-person last March. But that’s when things abruptly tunnel. changed. Limmud was cancelled. Plans for services This leads me to how Passover will be the and Passover were thrown up into the air. same this year. Another name for the holiday is Then I re-read my April 2020 bulletin “CHAG HA-AVIV: the Festival of Spring.” Passover submission. I wrote how everything had changed, celebrates rebirth, renewal, and hope – this is why and that it was hard to predict what would happen we eat the green KARPAS and the hard-boiled egg. next. I tried to point out “the bad news and the good We are reminded that life goes on and the buds will news.” bloom once again.

Now we begin When I think about Passover, I immediately our journey from pandemic and quarantine to think about the Seder. A part of the Hagaddah that vaccination and venturing out once again (though always stands out for me is the recitation of the let’s please keep our masks on). Four Questions, which begins with these words: This Passover we have much to look forward “MAH NISHTANAH HALAILA HAZEH MIKOL to. You will be receiving information about our HALEILOT – How is this night different from all Passover Package Pick-Up, where we are inviting other nights?” As we turn our attention to Passover Temple families to drop by and pick up a box of this year, I want to ask a different MAH NISHTANAH matzah, wine or grape juice, and something sweet – How is Passover different this year and how is it with which to celebrate Passover this year. We hope the same? you will join us for our live, on-line Congregational Passover will once again feel very different Passover Celebration on the second night of than what we are used to. We will have to limit our Passover (Sunday, Mar. 28). It won’t be a seder, but home and family seder observances.

Avital Kadosh

Jerry Seinfeld, in a Haggadah written by comedians, introduces us to Passover is his classic comedic way. Believe it or not, this month is Passover and it is my job to get you ready! Whether you will be having a small family meal at home, or logging onto Zoom to celebrate with friends and loved ones around the world, here are some laughs and some table questions (see later Passover resource pages) to keep your discussions going! Do you know why they call it Passover? God told Moses that the should mark their doorposts with lamb’s blood. So that God could “pass over” their houses, and spare them from the plague of the killing of the first born. My question is: Who was put in charge of telling everyone? That’s a big job. There’s a lot counting on that job. What if someone isn’t home? How did they tell them? Did they leave a note? Probably not. The Egyptians could see it. Would have ruined the whole plan. Did they just take the liberty of putting lamb’s blood on the door? What about when that family gets home, sees blood all over their door? “Honey, do you see this? Someone put blood on our door. Someone’s out to get us! You better get off the couch and wipe this off.” “I’m busy! Have our first born do it!” - Jerry Seinfeld This month, the Religious School will be preparing for Passover, both online and in person. We will gather to prepare for the celebration on Sunday, March 21 as well as picking up the Chavurah@ Home Passover themed boxes. Last month on Sunday, February 28 we were able to pick back up after Mardi Gras break to an outdoor celebration of Purim. All were invited to come in costume and join in for a live action morning of the Purim story come to life! It was loads of fun to be sure! For the first two Sundays in March, Chavurah@Sinai will meet online on Zoom with teachers in breakout rooms with their classes. During our time of COVID precautions, we have continued our commitment to safety and gathering in person (outdoors) whenever we are able (usually about once a month). For the remaining Sundays, we meet on zoom and spend time in classes, and as a whole group for singing and morning T’filah. Stay tuned for next month, when we will celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israeli independence day) outside as a community for our very first Israel Day! This will also include an Israel themed Chavurah@Home box.

Please keep an eye out in this issue of the bulletin for our upcoming Passover programming as well as additional resources, and don’t forget to check out our calendar for other regular ongoing programming! It’s never too late to join TV or Book club, and you can always hop on Zoom every other Thursday for Happy Hour with me where we discuss Judaism and pop culture!

8 Passover FAQ s!

9 Passover Recipes Matzah Ball Soup

MATZO DOUGH SOUP AND ASSEMBLY • 6 large eggs • 4 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick; • ½ cup melted schmaltz (chicken fat) or vegetable about 3 lb.) oil • 1½ tsp. plus 3 Tbsp. kosher salt; plus more • 6Tbsp. low-sodium chicken broth or water • 6 lb. chicken wings • 3Tbsp. chopped dill • 2 medium onions, peeled, halved • 1½tsp. kosher salt • 2 celery stalks, cut into 2” pieces • ¾tsp. freshly ground black pepper • 1 medium parsnip, peeled, cut into 2” pieces • 1½cups matzo meal • 3 medium carrots, peeled, 1 cut into 2” pieces, 2 thinly sliced • 1 bunch parsley • 1 Tbsp. black peppercorns • Chopped dill (for serving) • Freshly ground black pepper MATZO DOUGH Step 1 - Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until no streaks remain. Add schmaltz, broth, dill, salt, and pepper and whisk vigorously to combine. Add matzo meal and whisk until incorported. Cover and chill dough at least 35 minutes (this is essential as it gives the matzo meal time to hydrate). Step 2 - Do ahead: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. SOUP Step 3 - While the matzo dough is chilling, place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°. Place chicken legs on a rimmed baking sheet or a large plate and sprinkle with 1½ tsp. salt; let sit at room temperature until ready to use. Spread chicken wings out on another rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden brown, 45–55 minutes. Step 4 - Transfer wings and any accumulated juices on baking sheet to a large pot. Add onions, celery, parsnip, chopped carrot, parsley, peppercorns, and 4 quarts water. Bring to a simmer and cook, adjusting heat as needed to maintain simmer, until stock is slightly reduced, 40–50 minutes. Add chicken legs and simmer until legs are very tender, another 40–50 minutes. Step 5 - While the chicken legs cook, bring 3 qt. water to a boil in a medium pot. Add 3 Tbsp. salt. Using damp hands, divide matzo mixture into 16 pieces and roll each into about 1½”-diameter ball. It’s okay to really work the dough into balls; it won’t get dense—trust us, we tried! Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower matzo balls into pot. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer gently, checking occasionally and adjusting heat if boiling too rapidly, until balls are puffed and light in color, 30– 40 minutes. Don’t remove them sooner than this; they will be dense in the middle if undercooked. Remove from heat and let sit while you finish the soup. Step 6 - Transfer chicken legs to a plate and let sit until cool enough to handle. Step 7 - Meanwhile, strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium pot; discard solids. Step 8 - Remove meat from legs; discard skin and bones. Tear meat into bite-size pieces and return to stock. Add remaining thinly sliced carrots. Return stock to a simmer and cook until carrots are just tender, about 4 minutes. Taste and season soup with more salt if needed. Step 9 - Using a slotted spoon, place 2 matzo balls in each bowl. Ladle soup over. Garnish with chopped dill and a few grinds of pepper. Step 10 - Do ahead: Matzo balls can be boiled 2 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container along with 2–3 Tbsp. cooking liquid and chill. To reheat, gently lower balls into soup and cook over medium-low until heated through, about 10 minutes. 10 Passover • 1 4–5-lb. piece untrimmed flat-cut beef brisket • Kosher salt • Freshly ground black pepper • 4 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided • 1 medium onion, cut through root end into 1”-thick wedges • 1large fennel bulb, cut through root end into 1”-thick wedges • 3 celery stalks, cut into 2” pieces, plus 1 cup leaves • 1 head of garlic, halved crosswise • ½ bunch thyme, oregano, or marjoram • ¾ cup distilled white vinegar • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce • 2 cups mixed tender herbs (such as parsley, mint, and/or cilantro) • ½ lemon • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) • Flaky sea salt

Step 1 Preheat oven to 300°. Season brisket on all sides with kosher salt (about 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton per lb.) and pepper and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.

Step 2 Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy pot over medium. Cook brisket, fatty side down, until deeply browned (it might be snug at first, but the meat will shrink as it cooks), 10–12 minutes. Turn and cook until the other side is deeply browned, 8–10 minutes. Turn onto edges and brown (this isn’t necessary, but it will add more flavor). Transfer to a platter.

Step 3 Pour off fat in pot; discard. Pour remaining 2 Tbsp. oil into pot; set over medium-high heat. Add onion and season with kosher salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown and frizzle around the edges, about 3 minutes.

Step 4 Add fennel, celery, garlic, and thyme and toss to coat; season with kosher salt and pepper. Add vinegar, soy sauce, and 4 cups water. Place brisket in pot, arranging fatty side up; it should be submerged. (Use tongs to work it in there. If anything has to poke out of the liquid, let it be the vegetables.) Bring to a simmer, then cover and slide into the oven. Braise (without peeking) 3 hours. Check brisket; it should be very tender (the tip of a knife should easily pierce meat). If not, braise another 20 minutes or so and check again.

Step 5 Uncover brisket and increase oven temperature to 425°. Roast until liquid is reduced by three- fourths and top of brisket is crisp and deeply browned (it should be extremely tender), 50–60 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board. Slice with a serrated knife or shred with your hands. Skim fat from surface of braising liquid.

Step 6 Just before meat is done, place tender herbs and celery leaves in a small bowl; squeeze some juice from lemon over and toss to coat.

Step 7 Arrange meat on a platter. Spoon vegetables and braising liquid in pot around meat and top with herb salad. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired, and sea salt.

Step 8 Do Ahead: Brisket can be braised (but not roasted) 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Uncover and remove fat from surface. Continue with roasting process before serving. https://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/cooking-tips/slideshow/passover-recipes 11 12 13 URJ Summer Camps At Jacobs Camp, the year-round team is deep in planning mode for an amazing in-person Summer 2021 experience full of more Jacobs Magic than ever before!
