Traditional Seder with a Pinch of Flavor
Can’t take the heat? Make reservations. Many restaurants offer Seders and holiday-themed menus at Passover, and several New York eateries are putting an exotic spin on the traditional meal, the daily blog Gothamist reports. Chef Floyd Cardoz heads up the kitchen at Tabla, serving Passover dishes flavored with Indian spices — think Goan-spiced brisket and matzo ball soup with toasted coriander. The flavors of Mexico are infused into holiday dishes at Toloache (which serves tacos de brisket, made of matzo tortillas and chipotle-braised brisket!) and Rosa Mexicano, while French bistro Capsouto Frères is offering a Sephardic-style menu.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
