Melting Pot is divided into six chapters, one for each of the Five Books of the Torah, with the last chapter celebrating the Jewish and Israeli festivals. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular meal course, in addition to commemorating each of the six decades since the State of Israel’s founding.
In the Ethics of the Fathers, Rabbi Shimon says: "Three who eat together and speak words of Torah, it is as if they had eaten at God's table." A brand new book, launched this week in Israel, brings together food and Torah, giving its readers the opportunity to share their meal with the Divine presence. Melting Pot, written to honour the State of Israel during its 60th year, reflects the many Jewish voices and tastes from Israel and all over the world. There is a recipe to match each week's Torah portion - with an additional chapter for other Jewish and Israeli festivals - combined with a specially-written article by leading educators in the Jewish world. For example, Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks' commentary is paired with a recipe for Kubaneh, a sweet Yemenite bread, thus combining the spiritual excellence of Britain with the cultural flavours of the Middle East. Just as Israel has brought together every ethnic group, making for a vibrant and colourful country, this book has also combined renowned teachers and delicious food from across the globe, catering for the reader's physical and spiritual needs. Other contributors include Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, Dr Raphael Zarum and Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger. In addition to their insights, every page is adorned with outstanding photography of the mouth-watering dishes. Melting Pot is a masterpiece, and should feature in every Jewish home. It was edited by Dafi Kremer, and has been dedicated in memory of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, who died while defending their homeland. As Israel embarks on its seventh decade, this new book serves up spiritual and savoury delights for the Jewish palate, with something special for every day of the year.
