  • KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco 2018 Final
    KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco March 15-28, 2018 (arriving from Spain and Portugal) PT 1 Charles Landelle-“Juive de Tanger” Unlike our astronauts who travel to "outer space," going to Morocco is a journey into "inner space." For Morocco reveals under every tree and shrub a spiritual reality that is unlike anything we have experienced before, particularly as Jewish travelers. We enter an Islamic world that we have been conditioned to expect as hostile. Instead we find a warmth and welcome that both captivates and inspires. We immediately feel at home and respected as we enter a unique multi-cultural society whose own 2011 constitution states: "Its unity...is built on the convergence of its Arab-Islamic, Amazigh and Saharan-Hassani components, is nurtured and enriched by African, Andalusian, Hebraic and Mediterranean constituents." A journey with KIVUNIM through Morocco is to glimpse the possibilities of the future, of a different future. At our alumni conference in December, 2015, King Mohammed VI of Morocco honored us with the following historic and challenge-containing words: “…these (KIVUNIM) students, who are members of the American Jewish community, will be different people in their community tomorrow. Not just different, but also valuable, because they have made the effort to see the world in a different light, to better understand our intertwined and unified traditions, paving the way for a different future, for a new, shared destiny full of the promises of history, which, as they have realized in Morocco, is far from being relegated to the past.” The following words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel remind us of the purpose of our travels this year.

It is located near the southern area of the Jordan valley. The salt-rich Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface, being 400 meters below sea level. The air around the Dead Sea is unpolluted, dry, and pollen-free with low humidity, providing a naturally relaxing environment. The air in the region has a high mineral content due to the constant evaporation of the mineral rich water. 3. The Dead Sea comes in the list of the world's greatest landmarks, and is sometimes considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People usually miss out on this as they do not realize the importance of its unique contents. The Dead Sea has twenty-one minerals which have been found to give nourishment to the skin, stimulate the circulatory system, give a relaxed feeling, and treat disorders of the metabolism and rheumatism and associate pains. The Dead Sea mud has been used by people all over the world for beauty purposes.

  • Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Jewish Food
    Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Jewish Food Foulare/Folar Foulare is a sweet pastry enwrapping a hard- boiled egg or a Sephardic long- cooked egg. Origin: Iberia Other names: Greek: folariko; Italian: scalera. For a special treat, Sephardim enwrap huevos haminados (long- cooked eggs) or plain hard- boiled eggs in sweet yeast dough; as the pastries bake, the eggs bake into the dough. The dish is called foulare, which is Ladino for “scarf/enwrapping.” Cooks take great pride in the artistry of these pastries, frequently creating a different design for every family member. Each person removes the egg from the pastry, then peels and eats it as well as the sweet bread. The name of the eggs, haminados, sounds similar to that of the evil Persian prime minister, Haman, in the Purim story and— analogous to the Ashkenazic hamantaschen— eggs are referred to as huevos de Haman (Haman’s eggs). The pastry- wrapped eggs are traditionally served on Purim as well as the Sabbath preceding it, Shabbat Zakhor, when the weekly Torah portion mentions Haman’s ancestor, Amalek. Consequently, Shabbat Zakhor is referred to as Shabbat de Foulares. For Purim, the shape of the pastry is meant to symbolize either Haman’s prison bars (a basket with strips over the top of the egg) and/or parts of his anatomy (Haman’s foot and Haman’s ear). The pastries are first displayed on fancy plates before being consumed by children and adults, usually for Purim breakfast, as few can wait. Foulares may also be included among the food gifts in a Sephardic Purim misholach manot (sent portions).

  • Sephardic Customs and Jewish Religious Rituals and Festivals
    Sephardic Customs and Jewish Religious Rituals and Festivals In this chapter we gathered evidence of traditional customs from the Jewish community. Some of them are common to the ‘Sephardi’ Jewish culture and some are unique to the Jewish community of Izmir. We tried to understand the atmosphere surrounding those religious rituals and festivals, including traditional foods, objects, etc. The “Kucharera” The “Kucharera”, or “Tavola di Dolci” (Ladino), is a silver vessel for presenting sweets to welcome guests. The custom of presenting sweets to a guest is one of the characteristics of hospitality common to Christians and Jews in the Balkans and in the western territories of the Ottoman Empire, as Yohas indicates (Yohas, 1994). That custom is preserved by the Izmir Sephardi Jews with its typical set of vessels. This custom is not known among the Turks. When a guest enters a Jewish house in Izmir, one of the girls, a bride or another woman enters carrying a “Tavola di Dolci” (a tray of sweets). The tray is usually made of silver and has an ornamented container at its center - “Kucharera” (from the word “kuchare” means spoon), with a place for hanging personal spoons and forks. On the tray there are two or more “palaticos” - small plates containing two kinds of marmalades and water glasses. The guest takes some of the sweets with the spoon or the fork. When one finishes eating, s/he places the spoon or fork in the center container, and then drinks the water. Later s/he is served Turkish coffee. The kind of sweets presented were usually fruit marmalade like “naranjes” - marmalade made of a kind of orange, “Kayisi” - apricot marmalade, “sharopi” – white sweets made of water with sugar, almonds and walnuts.

Feel free to adjust the quantities. 2) Take about a ball of dough the size of a walnut or golf ball and roll it out on a floured countertop. 3) Use a spatula to move it onto a cookie sheet. 4) Make holes in the rolled-out dough using one or more forks. This is important; if you don’t make the holes it will bake into a pita bread. 5) Bake at 400⁰ until it’s hard, then let them cool on a rack. Note: When I’m rolling out the dough I sprinkle some kosher salt (large crystals) and roll the salt into the dough.

  • The Iconic Maxwell House Haggadah, from 1932 to Mrs
    CULTURAL HISTORY IN THE SUPERMARKET: THE ICONIC MAXWELL HOUSE HAGGADAH, FROM 1932 TO MRS. MAISEL By Peter Levitan From “The Global Haggadah” by Peter Levitan The iconic Maxwell House Haggadah was first introduced by the Maxwell House company in 1932. It is the best known and most widely used Haggadah both among American Jews and throughout the world, with over 50 million copies in print, and one million copies being distributed in 2006 alone. But how did this cultural icon come to be? The Maxwell House Haggadah was conceived as part of a marketing campaign for Maxwell House’s coffee aimed at Jews. During the 1920’s, Maxwell House found that its large base of Jewish customers weren’t buying their coffee during Passover, under the mistaken notion that coffee beans are kitniyot – a legume or bean that is not kosher for Passover for Ashkenazic Jews, then the overwhelming majority of American Jews. Jewish grocery stores would put away coffee with the chametz under the mistaken assumption that coffee beans were kitniyot, when in fact they are botanically a fruit. In 1923, the company got Joseph Jacobs, an advertising manager for the Forverts, to run an ad assuring readers that Maxwell House coffee was kosher for Passover, based on a certification that Jacobs obtained from an obscure Lower East Side rabbi certifying that coffee was fine to serve following the Seder dinner. In 1932, Jacobs, who had now established his own advertising firm that specialized in marketing to Jewish consumers, convinced Maxwell House to print and distribute its own haggadah and distribute copies in-store with the purchase of its coffee.

Without each of your willingness to invite me into your homes and share your stories, this thesis would not have been possible. Kaja, I thank you especially for your continued support and guidance. Next, I want to give a shout-out to my family and friends, especially my fellow thesis writers, who listened to me talk about my thesis constantly and without a doubt saw the bulk of my negative stress reactions. Thank you all for being such a great support system. It is my hope that at least one of you will read this- here’s looking at you, Mom. Third, I would like to thank Professor Waterhouse for sticking with me throughout this entire process. I could not have done this without your constant kind words and encouragement (though I could have done without your negative commentary about Billy Joel). Thank you for making this possible. Finally, I extend the largest thank you to my wonderful thesis advisors, Professor Karen Auerbach and Professor Chad Bryant.
