Something happened quietly this summer.
In the midst of this season’s flurry of activities (traveling, packing up the kids for sleepaway camp, carpooling the kids to day camp, wet bathing suits galore, and the tireless energy needed for Camp Mommy…to name a few!)…
Tamar and I launched Jewlish.com. In many ways it was a long time coming.
With more than 2 million followers, @Jewlish has exclusively existed as a social media brand – the place where we professed our love for all things Jewish food. @Jewlish has always stayed pure and true to its mission of sharing the beauty and diversity and unity that only Jewish comfort food from around the globe can bring us.
Subscribe, we think you’ll love it!
Conversely, the JamieGeller.com and @JamieGeller community has grown over the years to include more than just all things food loving (although Jewish food and healthy food and meal plan inspo are our raison d’etre!). JamieGeller.com has also become our space to share our deep love for living and traveling in the land of Israel, and supporting all the people who live here. It has become a platform that allows us to focus on giving back and supporting the worldwide Jewish community, while also shining a light on small businesses (many Jewish women-owned!) in so many industries.
As such, we felt @Jewlish really needed its own dedicated home focused on the content 2 MILLION of you know and love. A place for us to further expand and explore Jewish food from the four corners of the earth.

I CLOSE MY EYES AND LOOK BACK — A DECADE IN REVIEW
On the eve of 2020 here’s a look back at the last decade. The highs, the lows, …
Jewlish.com is a place to lovingly learn about the way we cooked when we were separated and flung into the diaspora, to the farthest corners of the globe and how that food is now bringing us back together. We also feel Jewish food is such a natural entree into Jewish life, tradition, holidays, heritage, culture, and identity. We wanted a safe authentic space to explore those connections and build community.
You see, the Jewlish.com community will not be so different from what we have built here at JamieGeller.com. In many ways it’s complementary and a natural extension of the @JamieGeller community – but it deserves its own unique space to be fully explored as it continues to morph into something we could never have architected. That’s what happened with JamieGeller.com and we wanted to give Jewlish.com the same chance. We think it has incredible potential (untapped and unfulfilled if only a social brand) and wanted to see it flourish in a way that your contribution and feedback and comments and participation can only make happen.
So…
Drum roll please…
Without further ado…
We would love to know what you think.
Just like here, Tamar continues to be the editor, host, strategist and connoisseur that guides our culinary journey. (This is yet another natural extension of our 14 year partnership.)
Her sons (yup both Akiva and Aryeh) make regular appearances as talented recipe developers and insightful writers of Jewish food history.
Here are some articles we are reading and sharing:
The Sicilian Jewish Legacy Dish You Need To Try
What The Mountain Jews Of Azerbaijan Cook And Eat
Jews And Eggplant: A Delicious Love Affair Rooted In History And Flavor
Here are some recipes we are making right now:
You see it’s got a different flavor (or tam as we say in hebrew) than JamieGeller.com but is entirely complementary.
You may have noticed it lives on Aish.com which is the most exciting development because it creates a natural pathway from which to explore the culinary and cultural connection between Jewish foods and Jewish identity in ways we never could have supported or imagined on JamieGeller.com.
We are shepping nachas! We hope you are too. This is only possible because of YOU and your love and your support for Jewlish all these years.
We hope you will subscribe because we think you’ll love it!And we want your feedback!!!
We want to know how Jewlish.com adds value and flavor to your life, table, holidays, and family.
So, as they say…. “New Year, New Website”.
Here’s to 5784! May it be a year of growth, reaching our collective potential, and connecting to our delicious despite-it-all shared heritage to create a flourishing, peaceful, tasty Jewish future!
