It is the start of the Jewish high holy days or yamin noraim (roughly translated as days of awe). They start with Rosh Hashanah, which is the New Year and continues for 10 days of repentance (aseret Yememi Teshuvah) ending with Yom Kippur (the day of atonement)
I am not Jewish, but some of my closest friends are, and as result I've learned via osmosis...
I also have learned to cook many ashkenazic dishes that my friends had at their family celebrations.
One such dish is kugel. Most are incredibly fattening (but good). I've lightened mine up, and it makes for a great fall dessert as well.
2-4 apples, peeled cored and diced
1/3 c honey
1 pkg egg noodles, cooked drained and cooled
1 c walnuts
1 pkg silken tofu
1/3 c raisins
1/2 c chopped dates
Preheat oven to 350
Mix silken tofu and honey together. Beat until fluffy. Add noodles and fruit. Place in a baking dish. Top with walnuts; bake for 20-25 minutes.
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
