In this week’s parsha, we hear the words of a song that Moses delivered to the Children of Israel on the last day of his life. It’s a moment that reminds us to think about the legacy we want to leave for our own children. What would be in your song? When I think about mine, I think about the traditions we share on Shabbat—the games we play, the foods we eat, and the family moments we treasure. This week, I invite you to Haazinu—“listen in”—on my Shabbat menu, as I share some of our favorite new Shabbat traditions.

Our latest tradition is to start our meal with garlic flatbread as our challah. I make a big batch of the no knead pizza dough every month and freeze the extra dough. I either broil or grill the rolled out dough and top with parsley, garlic and oil.

We eat tons of salatim, like this babganosh, hummus, matbucha, zucchini butter, tomato salad, cucumber ceviche and more.

Our main course is usually a simple roast chicken, I change up the flavors every week and then either serve with a mixed rice or roasted roots.

This rice dish combines my roasted roots with rice.

We usually do something fruity for dessert and this plum tart is perfect for the season when those mini plums are in abundance.

The Plum Torte recipe looked so familiar. It is one that my mother made many times, a holiday favorite. She got the recipe from The NY Times and it is exactly your recipe. Please give credit where it is due.
