  • Thinking Outside the Matzah
    Thinking Outside the Box ^ A collection of unexpected vegetarian recipes for Passover 2021 UPDATE Introduction I became a vegetarian gradually. When I was in law school, I learned to cook vegetarian and enjoyed what I was making. It was mostly beans, grains and pasta, so not suitable for Passover. During Passover, I ate mostly meat. But the rest of the year, I was increasingly eating vegetarian. By 2009, I was eating meat so rarely that I was no longer able to digest it properly. When I ate meat, I would get indigestion and stomach cramps. I didn't mind it when the meal was special or particularly good, but I couldn't eat like that day-after-day. And then came Passover, when I didn't know any appropriate recipes that weren't meat for eight straight days. By the end of Passover that year, I was feeling very sick and realized that I needed to come up with vegetarian options for Passover. I spent the next year coming up with ideas and experimenting with them. Thus was born A Very Veggie Pesach, a series of vegetarian recipes for Passover posted on my rarely-used blog. The first year, I posted eight recipes: enough for each night of Passover. Some of them were vegan and many were gluten-free for my relatives and friends with celiac disease. I have added a few recipes every year and now have over 20 recipes in this book. These recipes are designed to satisfy a fairly strict Orthodox standard for Passover, relying on Passover guides from the Orthodox Union (OU), Star-K and the Chicago Rabbinical Council (CRC).

For example, in Breishit Rabba (20:7) the Midrash says that there are four natural forms of love and attraction and that one of those is the attraction of Hashem to the Jewish people: there is no attraction like that of the Holy One Blessed be He“ ”ואין תשוקתו של הקב"ה אלא על ישראל“ I am“ ,”אני לדודי ועלי תשוקתו“ for Israel”. This is based on the pasuk in Shir Hashirim (7:11) which says to my beloved and his desire is for me”. Rav Yechezkel Levenstein z”l, the Mashgiach of the Ponovezh Yeshiva would regularly speak of this concept in his drashot around the chagim. He would point out that one of the manifestations of this love between Hashem and the Jewish people is the cycle of the chagim which are referred to as “moadim,” designated times.

  • Featuring 18 Recipes from Foodies Around the World
    THE 2020 #MatzahChallenge e-Cookbook Featuring 18 Recipes From Foodies Around the World BROUGHT TO YOU BY FOREWORD We hope you enjoy the first-ever #MatzahChallenge e-cookbook, featuring 18 recipes from foodies around the world. The #MatzahChallenge encourages anyone munching on matzah during Passover to post a picture to social media using the hashtag #MatzahChallenge. That post will be matched by an $18 gift to UJA to help someone in need. This campaign started in 2018 as a fun, engaging, and meaningful way to bring our community together over the most celebrated Jewish holiday — Passover. But this year, the #MatzahChallenge takes on a new meaning as our community copes with the devastating and isolating impact of Covid-19. The funds generated from this campaign will enable UJA to continue its work on the front lines of the crisis. And, it will provide a way for all of us to come together, virtually, during a time when we are typically together physically at our holiday meals. We hope this book will offer some much-needed inspiration and light. Even in these challenging days at home, we can still find something meaningful and engaging to do with our time. We look forward to seeing all of your creations. Be safe, stay healthy, and of course, have a Happy Passover. #MatzahChallenge RECIPES 1 FATTY SUNDAYS CHOCOLATE-COVERED MATZAH ICE CREAM SANDWICHES Ali & Lauren Borowick | @fattysundays Sister Duo & Co-Founders of Fatty Sundays 2 CHOCOLATE-COCONUT MATZAH ICEBOX CAKE Jake Cohen | @jakecohen Food writer, Editorial Director of The Feedfeed 3 PASSOVER LAHMAJOUN RECIPE Chef Einat | @chefeinat Chef, Author, Comedian, and Mother, “the Queen of Middle Eastern Cuisine” with Balaboosta, Taim, and the soon-to-open Motek restaurants.
