How are you breaking your fast for Yom Kippur? We asked 16 Jewish cooks and writers.
“You have been fasting for 25 hours, you are tired, it’s nighttime, and all of a sudden you are shoveling bagels, lox, kugel, and mimosas into your face.”
Often considered the most important holiday in the Jewish faith, Yom Kippur is a solemn day marked by observers abstaining from myriad physical pleasures—most important, food and drink . The most strict fasters prepare to endure more than 24 hours without sustenance. Naturally, during that time, one might get a bit peckish. So we asked Jewish chefs, cookbook authors, and food writers how they like to refuel. Some choose to ease into eating again with simpler items like scrambled eggs, a bagel, or soup. Others prefer to feast with a fat slice of chocolate babka and a mimosa. Some even opt to head out for dim sum or pizza.I grew up making faloodeh with my dad for the Yom Kippur break fast.
