An All-Purpose BBQ Rub from Texas' Only Kosher Pitboss

Title: An All-Purpose BBQ Rub from Texas' Only Kosher Pitboss
Runtime: 5:04
Date posted: 14 years ago
Description: Chef Ari White learned to slow-smoke meat from his father in the backyard of his childhood home in El Paso, Texas. Today, Ari operates a kosher catering company in Yonkers, NY and says he owns the only kosher wood-burning barbecue pit in the country.

Every weekend this summer, Ari is hauling his 18-foot smoking rig to street fairs across the Northeast and serving up pulled brisket, chicken and turkey drumsticks.

Ari shared the secret to his 'cue with Tablet Magazine -- a 12-spice rub that combines sweet, savory and spicy flavors and is guaranteed to enhance just about anything you throw on the grill this Independence Day. And just to prove it, Ari applied the rub to a treat even vegetarians can enjoy.

Ari's pop-up BBQ stand recently came under fire from some in the orthodox world. Attendees at a fundraiser for a Philadelphia-area yeshiva complained that the name of Ari's stand -- "Hakadosh BBQ" -- was an offensive play on "Hakadosh Baruch Hu" -- a...

A random email containing what purports to be news of the Lost Temple of Solomon sends day-dreaming New York-based reporter Matthew Fishbane on a journey halfway around the world—to the Solomon Islands. There, in the remote jungles of Malaita, he encounters self-described Melanesian Israelites with apocalyptic visions, dreamers guarding archaeological ruins of unknown but apparently ancient provenance, and a warlord who rallied an ethnic militia under the Star of David, as well as canny modern politicians who are leveraging the tiny island nation's greatest asset—sovereignty—for development assistance from the modern Jewish state. When the stray rumors that float across our laptop and iPhone screens are followed to their source, reality turns out to be even wilder and more compelling than fiction.

Title: The Book of Job by Harold S. Kushner
Runtime: 5:28
Date posted: 14 years ago
Description: Rabbi Kushner has spent years pondering the subject of Job—as a young doctoral student in Bible, rattled by recent revelations of the Holocaust, he contemplated a dissertation on the biblical character, only to find himself deferring the challenge. The book continued to haunt him, as a congregational rabbi counseling the bereaved, and as the father of a child taken young by terminal illness. He has finally returned to the subject with which he had planned to begin his scholarship, and has produced a book that understands the biblical world that produced "Job" as well as the modern world that continues to cry out for answers to life's deepest mysteries. The book explores the biblical answer to the question of why God permits good people to suffer, as understood by people through the centuries and in our post-Holocaust age.

Title: Moroccan Moonshine Comes to New York
Runtime: 3:50
Date posted: 14 years ago
Description: For generations, David Nahmias' family distilled alcohol from figs and dates in their small village of Taznakht in southern Morocco. They sold their homebrew, called mahia, to Jews and Muslims. A fiercely patriotic man, David's father Joseph secretly transported Moroccan revolutionaries during Morocco's fight for independence in 1956, and was subsequently thrown in jail by the French authorities. Joseph refused to leave Morocco, even after the vast majority of Moroccan Jews joined the diaspora and he was the last Jew standing in Taznakht. It was only at the end of his life, when he was quite ill, that he agreed to join his family in America. After Joseph and his wife passed away two years ago, their son David found a way to keep his parents' legacy and passion for Morocco alive: by producing mahia, their beloved moonshine, in his adopted home of New York. Here's a look inside the Nahmias et Fils distillery. Check out the entire story here: http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-life-and-relig...

When Grant Expelled the Jews by Jonathan Sarna

Title: When Grant Expelled the Jews by Jonathan Sarna
Runtime: 3:59
Date posted: 14 years ago
Description: Forthcoming from Nextbook Press:
On December 17, 1862, as the Civil War entered its second winter, General Ulysses S. Grant issued a sweeping order, General Orders #11, expelling "Jews as a class" from his war zone. It remains the most notorious anti-Jewish official order in American history.
The order came back to haunt Grant in 1868 when he ran for president. Never before had Jews been so widely noticed in a presidential contest, and never before had they been confronted so publicly with the question of how to balance their "American" and "Jewish" interests.
During his two terms in the White House, the memory of the "obnoxious order" shaped Grant's relationship with the American Jewish community. Surprisingly, he did more for Jews than any other president to his time. How this happened, and why, sheds new light on one of our most enigmatic presidents, on the Jews of his day, and on America itself.
