This month we’re talking about The Gett: A Young Wife’s Tale, a new play written by Liba Vaynberg and directed by Daniella Topol, available on Youtube. And for our second segment we’re talking about Jewish gift giving practices.

Tamar endorses yerushalmi kugel, particularly the following recipe:
Ingredients:
12 oz fine egg noodles
8 Tablespoons vegetable oil
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Generously grease a 2 qt baking dish. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted waster about 5 minutes. Drain, return to pot, and toss with 3 tablespoons of the oil. Keel on stove so noodles remain warm, but do not voer.
Meanwhile pour the remaining oil into a heavy saucepan, then add sugar. Heat over low heat, shaking pan gently from time to time. Do not stir. Cook 15-20 minutes or until sugar turns deep brown. Gradually add mixture to noodles, mixing well with tongs.
Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl. Add to the noodles and mix well. Transfer to the greased baking dish, cover with foil and/or lid. Put kugel in the oven on warm or low for 10 hours or overnight.
