This is a nice article and I do love Russ and Daughters but please do not treat “Traditional Jewish Foods” as monolithic. It is aggravating to see food from one very particular lineage (European Jews living in New York City) spoken of as representative of all Jewish food. To some of us, you’re not serving our traditional food unless it’s kubaneh, or buñuelos, or khoresht, or harira. It’s only since American Jews began immigrating to Israel in larger numbers that bagels have even become available there - around the same time that bacon has. So please, be careful about what you characterize as “Traditional Jewish Food”.
