The Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) celebrated Passover by remembering some of the recipes of pre-war Europe. On March 23, 2021, HMTC presented a virtual cookie baking demonstration by Jake Cohen, a former food staffer at Saveur and food editor of Tasting Table and Time Out New York, who had recently published his first cookbook Jew-ish. He showed us how to make his great Aunt Lotte's Kosher for Passover meringue cookies with walnuts and dark chocolate.

Deli Man is a documentary film produced and directed by Erik Greenberg Anjou; the third work in his trilogy about Jewish culture. The celebrated preceding films are “A Cantor’s Tale” and “The Klezmatics - On Holy Ground,” which have to date screened at more than two hundred international film festivals and have been broadcast in the U.S., Israel, Canada and Poland. The principal guide of Deli Man is the effusive and charming Ziggy Gruber, a third-generation delicatessen man, owner and maven (as well as a Yiddish-speaking French trained chef) who currently operates one of the country’s top delis, Kenny and Ziggy’s in Houston. Kenny and Ziggy’s has been touted in press reviews ranging from “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” to the L.A. Daily News.

Learn how to bake delicious Challah in this virtual Challah Baking Demonstration by Kara Mindel. Challah is a special bread in Jewish cuisine, usually braided and typically eaten on ceremonial occasions such as Shabbat and major Jewish holidays.

Kara was inspired to learn to bake Challah by a local baker who she bought homemade Challah from every week. She decided to give it a try herself, and one Shabbat a friend came over to teach her. Kara has been baking Challah ever since.
