JTA Deb Perelman has a complicated relationship with her hamantaschen.
With some recipes, the edges won’t stay pinched, leaving the cookies flopping open with filling spilling from all sides. The doughs that do stay pinched, like the ones at most bakeries, usually aren’t buttery and flaky. And the fillings are often too bland, not quite meeting the standard Perelman has set for her 15-year-old food blog, Smitten Kitchen.
“In general, the ones I’ve gotten from bakeries are not what I want them to be,” Perelman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “And I’ve struggled with this idea of is this what hamantaschen are supposed to be and I just don’t like them? Or can they be better?”

One year after the onset of the pandemic, most American theaters are languishing in the dark. But performers are still competing for our eyeballs through ever-more-sophisticated slates of virtual entertainment. Polished, highly-produced events in the vein of “Saturday Night Seder” have attempted to reproduce the intimacy and immediacy of live theater, lulling us via special effects into believing that we’ve emerged from our crumb-speckled couches into the darkened auditoriums of yore.
Until I tuned into “Megillah Cycle,” a modernist Yiddish take on the Purim spiel staged virtually by the Congress for Jewish Culture, I didn’t realize I’d been craving the opposite. I wanted virtual theater that acknowledged that making art from home is an inherently weird enterprise. I wanted virtual theater that reflected the social isolation of this moment rather than ignoring it. I wanted virtual theater that didn’t pretend to be something else.

The pandemic hit Melina Schein, an opera singer, vocal coach, director, and producer based in Western Canada, hard. Shows were cancelled she was due to go on a national Andrew Lloyd Webber tour and was producing a local performance of
Cabaret and days stretched out before her. Schein allowed herself a month to wallow on the couch, then decided to take action. She’d dreamt of becoming a writer, chef, or performer since childhood, and since performing wasn’t an option, she merged writer and chef in a multifaceted culinary project.
The kitchen had always been a place of refuge and creativity for Schein, as well as a connection to Judaism. Her father was a keen cook who had introduced her to Israeli, Turkish, and Moroccan dishes; her mother had an Ashkenazi background and repertoire. Now with unforeseen spare time, Schein sought to learn more about the breadth and depth of global Jewish cuisine.
