Hey Jumblr. Do you eat charoset any other time of year but Pesach? (Gentiles, please don’t answer. This is a Jews only poll. Conversion students are welcome though!)

Yes! Why exclude delicious flavor in June?

No! It’s a Pesach food ONLY!

On All Other Nights, In All Other Places

by Francesca Kuehlers

No matter where I live, I know there will be a seder.

Food has always been my tether to home, through five moves spanning four countries and three continents. It’s also an anchor, connecting me to everywhere I’ve lived. From generation to generation, Jews have been itinerant, and flexible, by necessity. It’s served me well. L’dor vador—from generation to generation—even as we adapt, we pass on our traditions.

Francesca Kuehlers wrote this lovely reflection on Passover seder, tradition, and the concept of home. If you're feeling a bit lonesome or a bit lost lately, this essay is just what you need. This essay is accompanied by @_frankcesca's recipe for charoset. The essay and recipe together are a perfect pair!
