October 7: Recipes for Simchat Torah
Simchat Torah is an annual celebration which marks the end of one cycle of public Torah readings. After this celebration, a new cycle of readings begins. This celebration is thousands of years old, although it only got its name during the fifth century.
Today, Simchat Torah is often celebrated by dancing, prayer and of course Jewish cuisine. While meats such as chicken and beef are consumed, pork is not, because it is not a kosher meat. If you are in any doubt about kosher recipes, you can find lots of advice online.
Here at Dishfolio, we were surprised to learn that a traditional Jewish meal is a Gribenes sandwich, which is the crackling or scraps of poultry fat eaten with bread. Jewish cuisine is incredibly diverse and is enjoyed by Jews all over the world, so why not celebrate Simchat Torah by enjoying some Jewish family dinner recipes?
