For many Jews, the meal isthe holiday

Collected by the Jewish Food Society, an organization dedicated to preserving Jewish cuisine around the world, the 135 recipes and accompanying stories in The Jewish Holiday Table are a dazzling expression of all the ways we celebrate through what we bring to the table.

Discover menus for a Persian Rosh Hashanah feast, a Ukrainian-Mexican Seder, an Iraqi spread for Purim. And a memorable Hanukkah tale of grandmothers competing in a doughnut duel, with ones Moroccan sfenj recipe challenging the others Egyptian zalabia. Reflecting three thousand years of love and loss, culture and change, each dish captures the soul of whats served in a Jewish home on a Jewish holiday.
