There’s the Rub — in Tel Aviv

Howard Blume February 2, 2006

Tierra\’s setting in its bustling, mostly residential neighborhood is stylish coffeehouse; the food is inventive. One typical appetizer consisted of figs stuffed with mushrooms, macadamia nuts and chicken — flavored with cardamom, cinnamon and a Hindu date dressing (34 sheckels). Not all the entrees strain to be eccentric; there\’s \”grilled pullet and polenta\” for 58 sheckels and \”calamari paperdello\” for 54 sheckels. Some menu offerings are mouth watering; others more creative than tasty. But there\’s a full bar to wash everything down.

Getting Out Before Katrina Still Painful

Julie Gruenbaum Fax September 15, 2005

It\’s hard for Gideon Daneshrad to imagine himself on the receiving end of tzedakah (charitable giving). In the 30 years since he arrived from Iran to study computer science at North Louisiana University in Monroe, Daneshrad, 56, has built himself a full life — with four children, a lakefront home and New Orleans\’ only kosher restaurant.

\”Just close your eyes and imagine that you wake up in the morning and you are stripped of your identity,\” Daneshrad says. \”You are nobody. You are nothing. You have no money coming in. You don\’t have clothes. You don\’t have food. And all the people you knew are scattered around the world.\”

Daneshrad and his family have been in Los Angeles for more than a week, and he still finds himself imagining this is all a nightmare.

Lisa Alcalay Klug July 7, 2005

Your best friend is soon to wed. You\’re in charge of the prenuptial ladies fete but your buddy is an iconoclast and so are you. If you\’re looking for bachelorette parties that score points for originality, you might consider these unusual substitutes.

Kosher Stylin’

Jessica Ravitz June 2, 2005

I have plenty of friends who keep more strictly kosher than I do, but even some of them make exceptions — like bouillabaisse in France or lobster in Maine. I deviate when I\’m the guest in someone\’s home, and the options are slim — my rationale being that it\’s better to not shame a host than to stick to my half-baked rules.

East of Western — a Kosher Cornucopia

Ron Kampeas, JTA February 24, 2005

President Bush is declaring his hope for a Palestinian state loud and clear, and no wonder — it\’s almost the price of entry to the alliance with Europe that he urgently wants to revive.

Chabad Cafe Makes Waves in Malibu

Evan Pondel August 26, 2004

The recently mounted mezuzah on the front door of a soon-to-be opened restaurant in Malibu is symbolic for many reasons.

It marks the first kosher eatery to open in the seaside community. It also symbolizes Chabad of Malibu\’s first foray into mainstream life in a city of surfers and celebrities.

Chabad has been cultivating its surf town persona since 2001, purchasing several buildings and a house across the street from the Malibu Pier. A sign posted in front of the property portrays the silhouette of a Chabadnik riding a surfboard.

A Match Made in Ratner’s Restaurant

Naomi Pfefferman March 18, 2004

Laurie Gwen Shapiro is not, repeat not scion to a matzah fortune, like the heroine of her hyperkinetic new novel, "The Matzo Ball Heiress."

David Wallis February 19, 2004

Soon after Alef Jewish Restaurant opened for business in Krakow\’s Jewish quarter more than a decade ago, a gaggle of Polish schoolgirls wandered in during their lunch break. The anxious students asked the restaurant\’s co-owner, Janusz Benigier, whether they served non-Jews.
