A young chef’s guide to the Rosh Hashanah meal

Michael Israel September 5, 2012

Considering the history of the Jewish people, the fact that Jews are still celebrating the High Holy Days today is a miracle in itself.

\”Fish is meat,\” announces Danny, my 9-year-old vegetarian son.

\”Fish is fish,\” responds Larry, my 50-something pescetarian husband.

God later elaborated, \”anything in water, whether in the seas or in the streams, that has fins and scales — these you may eat\” (Leviticus 11:9).
