Yom Yerushalayim in Chu"l

Once Hallel is done, what else is there to do aside from pounding Yerushalmi Kugel?

Check out this New York Times expose:

Kugel Unravelled


Worthwhile Factoid: Prof. Allan Nadler, a religious studies professor at Drew University, studied references to kugel in various seforim, and claims the source of Yerushalmi Kugel comes from the Talmidei HaGr"a who made Aliyah in the 18th Century.

While you're there:

Here is a new/old niggun for Jews stuck eating Yerushalmi Kugel made in Monsey, Brooklyn or wherever this year.

May we all be zocheh to restore all the trapped sparks of Holiness contained in exiled Yerushalmi Kugel, and be blessed with the ultimate Revelation of sweet & peppery, greasy noodles, B'meheira.

Excellent post...if a Yid rubs Yerushalmi Kugel (or strawberry-rhubarb nik) on his face, does he grow a beard? (or does that only work with gefilte fish?)
