    Beautifully Jewish High Holiday Table
    Sep 27 2024
    On this episode of Beautifully Jewish, we’re preparing for 5785 with a focus on the holiday table. Rethinking the table just might ground you and bring some clarity as you get ready for these days of awe. Tanya begins the episode with her reflections on the spiritual significance of the table before she and guest host Shannon Sarna share three interviews that serve up some sage advice. First, we learn about creating your own beautiful holiday table with blogger Rebekah Lowin, aka The Jewish Martha Stewart, who shares some surprisingly simple ways to elevate your holiday table. Next, etiquette expert and author Lisa Gaché joins us to talk about how to bring our best selves to holiday meals (hint: it starts with a smile). We couldn’t fit all of Lisa’s ideas into this episode, but if you’re interested, check out this link about Talmudic table manners. Finally, we chat with Jewish culinary legends Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook to hear more about their new book Zahav Home: Cooking for Friends and Family and get their recommendations for a delicious holiday menu. Listen to the end to hear their true thoughts on that old Jewish pantry staple: Lipton French Onion Soup Mix. This episode of Beautifully Jewish is hosted by Tanya Singer with guest co-host and Queen of Jewish comfort food, Shannon Sarna who shares her recipe for Balsamic Apple Date Challah.
