Tonight through tomorrow is the Jewish holiday Purim. In this picture, kids are celebrating Purim at the Hebrew Institute of Far Rockaway, 1950.
A celebratory event coinciding with the spring, Purim commemorates the salvation of Jewish subjects in the Persian Achaemenid Empire from Haman, a royal vizier who planned to murder the whole population in a single day. The main antagonist in the Book of Esther, Haman had thrown "lots" to determine the date of the slaughter—the 13th day of the Hebrew month of Adar. Instead, he saw his plans undone by the Jewish leader Mordecai and his cousin and adopted daughter, Esther.⁠
The traditional wearing of costumes and masks at Purim is thought to have been influenced by Roman carnivals of the 15th century. ⁠

I guess no one proofreads the ads before they go out. Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish followers. To all the goyim out there - ham can never be kosher.

If you saw this image that people were making fun of for conflating Christmas and Hanukkah, check out this new version made by JewWhoHasItAll.  
Imagine if everyone assumed Christmas was about what Hanukkah is about.

Moroccan Spiced Vegetable Kugel
Back in September I posted a recipe for a dish (Couscous with Seven Vegetables) that is traditional on Rosh Hashanah among the Jews of North Africa. We love the dish so much that I made it several times, changing the spices a bit each time. Then, one time, I decided to use the same vegetables and seasonings but instead of serving them over couscous, mix them into a kugel.
It worked perfectly!
Of course the texture of kugel vs braised vegetables over couscous is quite different. But the flavors are reminiscent of each other and just as delicious, either way.
This is a good side dish for Thanksgiving. First, it goes so well with turkey. It’s a good choice for any vegetarians who might be at your table. and also, you can make it in advance
MOROCCAN-SPICED VEGETABLE KUGEL 
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium tomato, cut into chunks
1 small parsnip, peeled and cut in 1/2-inch slices, optional
1/2 cup cut up bite sized butternut squash
1/2 teaspoon ras al hanout (or use 1/4 teaspoon harissa plus 1/8 teaspoon each of ground ginger, turmeric and cinnamon)
3/4 cup vegetable stock
1 cup diced zucchini
1/4 red bell pepper, cut into bite sized chunks
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Salt to taste
12 ounces egg noodles
3 eggs
Preheat the oven to 375F. Heat the olive oil in sautepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for about 4 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a minute. Add the carrot, tomato, parsnip and squash and stir the ingredients. Stir in the ras al hanout. Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and cook for about 15 minutes. Add the zucchini, bell pepper, raisins and chickpeas. Cook for about 10 minutes more, or until vegetables are tender. Add salt to taste. Cook the noodles according to the manufacturer’s directions. Spoon the vegetables and pan fluids into the noodles and mix to distribute the ingredients evenly. Beat the eggs and mix them in. Place inside a baking dish and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the top is crispy.
Makes 4 dinner servings, 8 side dish servings

Tonight is the start of Hanukkah. In 1954, Harry Suchman, a resident of the appropriately-named Menorah Home and Hospital for the Aged at 871 Bushwick Ave., Brooklyn, explained the meaning of the holiday to Paul and Sheila Kuznekoff. Paul lit the traditional eight candles.

FEAR OF GRATERS
Chanukah has come around again. It’s time to make potato latkes, the traditional Chanukah dish, though in Israel, it’s jelly donuts. To properly make latkes, you have to grate potatoes. I live in fear of graters. No matter how careful I am, I wind up with grated knuckles and blood in the latkes. This makes them not only gory, but non-Kosher. Blood isn’t okay, especially not the human kind. In a…
