Hanukkah Blessings
Sukkot Blessings
It is a mitzvah to celebrate in the sukkah. While the Torah instructs us to live in the sukkah for seven days, many choose to only eat meals in the sukkah. When eating or reciting kiddush in the sukkah, recite this blessing:
Shehecheyanu
Recite this blessing the first time you do something each Jewish calendar year (e.g., the first night of Hanukkah when you light the menorah), and to mark joyous occasions.
Classic Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
Latkes are traditionally served for Hanukkah because they are cooked in oil (to commemorate the vial of oil lasting for 8 days).
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Moroccan Sweet Couscous with Mixed Dried Fruits
Spiced Angel Pecans
These angel pecans are truly heavenly! Serve them to guests in your sukkah during Sukkot.
Pumpkin Challah
An unconventional twist on traditional challah, this dough incorporates pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin purée.
Ugandan Fall Harvest Fruit Salad
This salad uses the three most eaten fruits in Uganda: bananas, mango, and jackfruit.
