"My mother carried only three mitzvoth; that is
all that is expected of a Jewish woman. But in reality she could
only carry two of the three.... The third mitzvah, immersion
in the ritual bath once every month, she could not take with
her."

"Each family recipe for gefilte fish, cholent, kreplach,
chopped liver, kugel, latkes, matzo balls, or borscht carried
a particular memory of survival from the Jewish communities
of Russia, Poland, Germany, or Hungary - a heritage passed through
generations of women."
