Enjoying Your Day Like A Kosher Holiday

To enjoy your time at home today, you need to spend each day like it is a kosher holiday!

Whether you are just lying on your bed binge-watching your favorite series or working from home, there are various ways to have a little Jewish fun.

Watch Jewish Films on Video-on-demand Platforms

Are you a film nerd or just someone who wants to kill time during home quarantine? You need to watch these films that show Jewish culture from different eras:

• Jojo Rabbit - Fresh off its Oscar win for Best Adapted Screenplay, Taika Waititi’s crowdpleaser is comical, parodic, and inspirational take on an unlikely bond between a young Nazi boy and a brave Jewish girl. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Rebel Wilson, Sam Rockwell, and newcomer Roman Griffin Davis.


• Son of Saul - A Hungarian film that hit Oscar gold. Laszlo Nemes’ haunting yet inspiring World War 2 drama shows the experiences of a Hungarian Jew in an Auschwitz concentration camp. Available online at Vudu, iTunes, and Prime Video, the film is a great watch for lovers of art films.


• Uncut Gems - One of the most underrated films of the past year, this exhilarating and anxiety-inducing motion picture by the great Safdie Brothers is a character study of a Jewish jeweler and gambler in the busy city of New York. Starring Adam Sandler in a performance of a lifetime, Uncut Gems will make your knees tremble and your palms sweat.

Cook Sumptuous Kosher Food

Since you can not go to your favorite kosher restaurant right now, why not do the cooking yourself? Here are some easy-to-do kosher meals you can do alone or with your family:

Herring and Apple Salad - Prepare 500 grams of boiled potatoes, a green apple, 2 pickled herring fillets,200 grams cooked beets, ½ tbsp. Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar, 4 tbsp. olive oil, and 1 tsp. sparkling water (seltzer). Slice all the ingredients (you can check the video on the link for a reference), then mix the liquids in a small bowl. Then plate your salad, and drizzle it with dressing.

Whole Fish with Olives - Prepare the following ingredients: 1 whole Denise fish (cleaned), 1½ teaspoons pink Himalayan salt, a teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 8 cloves garlic (peeled and diced), 6 cherry tomatoes cut in half, a cup olives, teaspoon honey, ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, 2 lemons (juiced), and ¼ cup fresh thyme leaves with stem discarded. Pat your Denise fish dry and sprinkle the Himalayan salt and pepper on the side. Then, pour the oil on a skillet then heat it. When the optimum temperature is achieved, add the fish and cook for three minutes. Turn the fish over, then add all of the ingredients except the lemon and thyme. After that, add half a cup of water and turn the heat down to mid. Cover the skillet and let it cook for ten minutes. Turn down the heat, add the lemon juice and thyme, and serve it whole.
