EDITOR'S LETTER
AS I WRITE THIS LETTER, I have just said goodbye to my two oldest sons who are spending the year in Israel away from home. I sometimes have a hard time believing that my teenage kids are old enough to independently study abroad! With two young children at home as well, I am currently experiencing the fascinating dichotomy of how time can simultaneously pass so slowly (for instance, Shabbos afternoon entertaining a two year old!) and so quickly. If there is any time of year that reflects this opposing passage of time, it’s Tishrei and the Jewish holidays — we sometimes can’t wait until it's over, but then it passes in a blink of an eye. Personally, I cannot wait for the Jewish holiday season. My sons are coming back home and we will be spending time together as a complete family unit. The way Jewish holidays and traditions enhance our connection as a family is truly something I’m starting to appreciate so much more; it makes me realize how beautiful these traditions are — in its ideal format, they truly ground us and act as a form of connection that is difficult to achieve in a world ruled by our phones. While holidays and family gatherings look different for everyone, the Jewish holidays are always centered around a table full of food. Our focus for this
THE SUKKOT ISSUE
season was to share inspirational food content that would help make this season doable, which is why our Rosh Hashana issue came out so early (a full month before Rosh Hashana!). For the Sukkot issue, we focused on crowd pleasing, easy-to-execute recipes that you’ll be excited to make and serve, balanced by a few aspirational chef-driven recipes. Who better to share a Sukkot feast than Sivan Kobi, a true balabusta, who has taken the Instagram world by storm with her calming voice and well-done reels showcasing anything from no-rise challah to the dishes of her childhood. Sivan instills confidence into her followers and we knew we needed to bring some of that attitude to the pages of the magazine. Joining Sivan is an incredible lineup of amazing contributors, both new and familiar, to round out the incredible collection of recipes and tips that you will use all month long and beyond. Wishing you all a happy, healthy, sweet New Year filled with lots of feasts with your family and friends! Bitayavon, Shifra

hort ribs are a cut of meat that can come from the chuck or plate section of the steer. The three-bone short ribs are from the plate, while the five-bone short ribs come from the chuck section. The ribs from the plate section tend to be more marbled, but generally speaking, both cuts cook and taste very similar. The most familiar cut of short ribs in the kosher market is flanken, a heimish staple beloved by many as the perfect cut for cholent. If you were to connect a few strips of flanken, you would be able to envision a rack of meat that is made up of a roughly 9-inch strip of bones with about 2 inches of meat on top. A more elegant way to cut flanken is to cut it into large chunks (as pictured here), which is known as “English-cut” or “gourmet” short ribs (as it’s known at our local kosher supermarkets). Because the best way to cook them is to braise in some sort of liquid, it’s also the perfect cut to make it in advance for a fall feast. Plus, short ribs reheat wonderfully.
