Ease Out of the Yom Kippur Fast With Salmon and Potatoes

Judy Zeidler October 2, 2003

Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, is a time when Jews are required to fast for 24 hours. At the end of this period, family and friends gather for the traditional break-the-fast meal.

This year at the conclusion of services our family and friends will arrive at our home at various times, since they are coming from synagogues that stretch from San Fernando Valley to West Los Angeles.

The transition from fasting to feasting should be a gradual one. Light, simple food is best. These two quick recipes are perfect for the holiday. Just add a few side dishes to complete the menu.

Silence on Israel Is Not Golden

Rabbi Susan Laemmle January 9, 2003

For Avi Davis, truth is a blazing light threatening to blind the unprepared.

There are no moderating factors or gradations, just a division between those who can handle its assault and those who can\’t.

In contrast to Davis\’ unitary absolutism, traditional Jewish wisdom tends to frame things in twos and threes. So we read in Pirke Avot 1:18, the teaching of Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel, that \”the world is established on three principles: truth, justice and peace.\”

Menorah Lights Our Way

The Festival of Lite

Mike Levy November 21, 2002

Even \”heart healthy\” or \”light\” menu options can be filled with hidden fat, sodium or other dangers for those on special diets or trying to eat healthy.

The Musical Sound of ‘Lights’

Ellen Jaffe-Gill November 21, 2002

Not all Chanukah music is kiddie music — even when it\’s played by kids. On Sunday, Dec. 1, the Skirball Cultural Center will host the West Coast premiere of Russell Steinberg\’s suite, "Lights On!"

Art of the Scalpel

Sharon Schatz Rosenthal November 14, 2002

Archie Granot is very careful and precise when making incisions with his scalpel — yet he knows he\’ll never be sued if he makes a mistake.
