My latest blog post, reviewing a new book about food in Talmudic times. From the Bookshelf: Ancient Jewish Food in Context tasteofjew.com/from-the-books… #FoodHistory #JewishFoodHistory #BookReview

@Pretty_Veggie Just saw this now. Sorry!

@FunJoel Ive already had one leg canceled. Was lucky to be able to rebook on El Al a couple of days later. Now the airport has to open!!! I have been glued to the TV. I hope you are ok. 🙏

Hi @FunJoel Long time no talk! I may be coming for the summer. Its been SO long! I just saw an article you wrote about Hebrew a while back. Do you know of any apps I can use (on the plane, too, with some audio, maybe?) so I can upgrade my minimal Hebrew? Toda motek! 😆

@Pretty_Veggie Congrats! Hope it goes as planned despite last night's "festivities!"

@FunJoel I booked the ticket!!!

@ldkop Huh?

A Sufganiya is a kugel.

@ldkop The truth is, the word kugel means "ball," and kugels were originally made in a ball-shaped pot called a kugeltopf. #NotAJoke #FoodHistory #JewishFoodHistory #JewishFood

A kugel fountain?

Rumor has it that @NHL will be adding a new penalty next year: "Skating While Being Rempe." That way referees can stop making shit up whenever they want to give @mattrempe32 of @NYRangers an extra 2 or 5. #NHL #NYR #LGR #NewYorkRangers

@aidandoyleee @persianjewess That's really the best response you can give? A victim tells you her true and painful experiences, and all you can do is point out that you were mislabeled as the encampment leader? How about trying to be a human and listening to what someone says to you?

@persianjewess not the "encampment leader," never was. I explicitly told the organizers to not talk to say I was but they didn't listen. anyways keep peddling your pro genocide propaganda, the world isn't on your side and never will be

Released hostage Moran Stella Yanai stands up to UCLA Encampment leader Aidan Doyle, who glorified October 7 Massacre. Doyle refuses to look at Moran as she courageously and calmly shares her testimony of being lynched and kidnapped by 13 HMS terrorists. “Do you know how many bodies I saw? Do you know how much violence was taken on me? We went to dance. I am asking you, as a person, do you support these actions?”

@persianjewess Powerful. Thanks for sharing.

My latest piece for the Nosher is a fun little list of Jewish foods that use eggs in different ways. I bet there are at least one or two here you aren't familiar with! "8 Jewish Egg Dishes for Every Occassion" myjewishlearning.com/the-nosher/8-j… #JewishFood

My latest piece for @ckbk that explores the history and many culinary uses of dates. Check out "Consuming Passions: Dates" at app.ckbk.com/features/consu… #FoodHistory #MiddleEasternFood

You may not eat etrog/citron, but it still created an important Jewish food relationship. To learn more, read my latest blog: The Unknown Jewish Culinary Connection to the Barely Edible Etrog tasteofjew.com/jewish-culinar…

A year of war means very few tourists. Which has hurt financially. To combat some losses, I'm running a SALE on prepaid tours/gift certificates. 10% off! TIA for purchases and forwards! More details: funjoelsisrael.com/sale/ or joel@fjisrael.com Thanks!

Iran Wars: The Ayatollah Strikes Back Sucked, just like most sequels

@persianjewess Isn't it also interesting that she calls it an Israeli attack with no support for that claim, other than a terror organization's word?

Would this be a bad time tell all the Jewish Democrats who raved over the fact that AOC said “Release the Hostages” at the DNC “I told you so?” Cause I fucking told you so.

@AOC Based on what intelligence are you saying the attack was Israeli in origin? Why would you accept the unsupported claims of a US- listed terror organization as automatically factual?

Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across of a slew of public spaces, seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians. This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict. Congress needs a full accounting of the attack, including an answer from the State Department as to whether any US assistance went into the development or deployment of this technology.
