A Taste of Torah

Each parashah includes a gourmet recipe that fits perfectly on an elegant Shabbat table and comes with tips for preparing the dish with your sous chefs (children). Shabbat comes alive when the week’s parashah – and the children’s own handiwork – is beautifully laid out on the Shabbat table. Each recipe is followed by a dvar Torah for the older children and a bedtime story for the younger ones, based upon the Jewish value taught in that week’s dvar Torah and is brimming with classic Jewish stories and values. A Taste of Torah is the perfect addition to anyone’s library or kitchen, as it serves up ancient traditions and values in bite-size servings perfect for sharing with the next generation. 

Above all, A Taste of Torah is a recipe for nachas, Shabbat after Shabbat.
