  Forbidden - A 3000-Year History...

  Jews do not eat pig. This (not always true) observation has been made by both Jews and non-Jews for more than three thousand years and is rooted in biblical law. Though the Torah prohibits eating pig meat, it is not singled out more than other food prohibitions. Horses, rabbits, squirrels, and even vultures, while also not kosher, do not inspire the same level of revulsion for Jews as the pig. The pig has become a symbol for people to signal their Jewishness, non-Jewishness, or rebellion from Judaism. 
   
   
   
  Starting with the Hebrew Bible, Jordan D. Rosenblum historicizes the emergence of the pig as a key symbol of Jewish identity, from the Roman persecution of ancient rabbis, to the Spanish Inquisition, to Shakespeare's writings, to modern memoirs of those leaving Orthodox Judaism. The pig appears in debates about Jewish emancipation in eighteenth-century England and in vaccine conspiracies; in World War II rallying cries, when many American Jewish soldiers were "eating ham for Uncle Sam;" and in recent deliberations about the kosher status of Impossible Pork. 
   
   
   
  All told, there is a rich and varied story about the associations of Jews and pigs over time, both emerging from within Judaism and imposed on Jews by others. Expansive yet accessible, Forbidden offers a captivating look into Jewish history and identity through the lens of the pig.

  Herbs and spices have been an integral part of human culture for centuries, shaping our food, health, and even our daily rituals. From the rich, aromatic notes of basil in Italian cuisine to the vibrant warmth of cumin in Middle Eastern dishes, these tiny powerhouses of flavor elevate the ordinary to extraordinary. Beyond taste, herbs and spices also carry centuries of tradition, medicinal uses, and cultural significance. Whether grown in your backyard, balcony, or kitchen windowsill, the act of cultivating these plants provides a deeper connection to the food we prepare and the flavors we savor. 
  Why Grow Your Own? 
  While many of us enjoy the convenience of pre-packaged herbs and spices from the grocery store, there is something incredibly special about growing your own. Freshly picked herbs from your garden are unparalleled in both flavor and aroma. The difference between store-bought dried basil and freshly cut basil is striking; it’s not just about taste but also the vibrant green color, the essential oils, and the sheer joy of picking your own ingredients. Growing your own herbs and spices allows you to create a garden that’s uniquely yours, tailored to your tastes, and adapted to your climate. Additionally, when you grow your own, you have access to herbs and spices at their peak potency, without the added preservatives or packaging of store-bought varieties. 
  The Basics of Growing: A Beginner’s Guide 
  Starting a herb and spice garden is simpler than it may seem. Even if you have no prior gardening experience, herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint are relatively easy to grow and require minimal attention. Many of these plants thrive in a variety of conditions, making them perfect for beginner gardeners. Whether you’re planting in the ground or using containers, herbs are incredibly adaptable and can be grown in almost any space—from large backyards to small apartment balconies.
