Talking in Shul


Women Erased and the Long Shadow of Megadonors

This month on the podcast, we talk to Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll of Chochmat Nashim about the erasure of women in many Jewish publications, a worsening trend. Then, in our second segment, we discuss the influence of megadonors on the Jewish world in the wake of Michael Steinhardt’s #metoo scandal.

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 medium heads cabbage
  • Sauce:
    • 46 oz can can tomato juice
    • 1 small can tomato sauce
    • Ketchup
    • 1 can water
    • 1 c brown sugar
    • 1/4 c lemon juice
    • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
    • 1 tsp salt
    • raisins (I like golden)
  • Meatballs:
    • 2 lb ground beef
    • 1 1/2 c cooked white rice
    • salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 onions, grated
  • Cut the cabbage into large shreds and rinse well. (You can just quarter the cabbage if you’re lazier and your crowd will eat large pieces of cabbage.) Combine meatball ingredients and roll into balls. Put sauce ingredients (except raisins) into a large pot. Put cabbage in, followed by meatballs. Cook for 1.5-2 hours, stirring periodically. 1/2 an hour before you’re done, add raisins. Enjoy!
