Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: Rediscovering Tel Aviv: Lost in the Heart of the Market Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/rediscovering-tel-aviv-lost-in-the-heart-of-the-market Story Transcript:He: בבוקר של התרחש שם הפתאומי, ללא שום רמז מראש, נתקל אביב, החילוני מתל אביב, בתוך שוק שבו עוד לא היה. חפש קפה סדיר לשישי בבוקר, ומצא את החיים עצמם. בדיוק כך הסיפור מתחיל.En: One morning, Aviva, the secular from Tel Aviv, suddenly stumbled upon a market where he had never been before, without any prior hint. He was looking for his regular Friday morning coffee and found life itself. And that's exactly how the story begins.He: אביב, נאווד בין עמדות המרקחות ירקות, המוכרי הדגים, ואפילו החנויות של הדבש, נשא בלב אובדן מוחשי. אף הוא לא הבין מה שקרה. הכל היה כך מרובב בעברית, בתרבות המקומית שלנו, והוא, התל אביבאי המודרני שהכיר רק את עולמו המוכר של דיזינגוף, קו"ח, ומלכי ישראל, נראה שכח מהו להיות נושא של מקום.En: Aviva, lost among the stands of vegetables, the fishmongers, and even the honey shops, felt a tangible sense of disorientation in his heart. He too didn't understand what was happening. Everything was so steeped in Hebrew, in our local culture, and he, the modern Tel Avivian who only knew his familiar world of Dizengoff, cafes, and the Kings of Israel, seemed to have forgotten what it means to be a part of a place.He: "איפה אני?" הוא שאל ברוח תייר שאיבד את מפתו. תמר, המהירה במחלותיה שנהגה למכור מלפפונים קטנים בשוק הפשפשים, ביקשה לדעת אם צריך לעזור לו. "אתה נראה נעורב פה," היא צחקה, אלא שהחיוך שלה הפך להקרין ממד רחמני בקרבה.En: "Where am I?" he asked like a tourist who had lost his map. Tamar, quick in her ailments who used to sell small cucumbers in the bustling market, asked if he needed help. "You seem lost here," she chuckled, but her smile turned into a glimmer of compassion.He: יעל, האישה שהייתה משוגעת על נגינת המנדולינה שמן המיתרים שלה מלקק את שמי השוק, אף היא הבחינה בפלוכתו של אביב. "מה עשה איתך תל אביב, חתיכת עוגה ים תיכונית?" היא שאלה, מעט מבולבלת.En: Yael, the woman who was crazy about the mandolin music echoing from her strings throughout the market, also noticed Aviva's bewilderment. "What happened to you, Tel Aviv, a piece of Mediterranean cake?" she asked, slightly puzzled.He: אביב התמקמק כדי להסביר, אך השפה שקפצה לו הייתה העברית השוטפת שלו: "אני אביב. אני יליד מקום, אם תרצי, רק שאני נוסע עכשיו. אני מרגיש שאני מחווה את ביתי לראשונה."En: Aviva hesitated to explain, but the fluent Hebrew that came out was his: "I am Aviva. I am a native here, if you will, but I am traveling now. It feels like I am experiencing my home for the first time."He: שני הנשים נתבכו ללבכוך בעזרתו: חולשת השפה, ההתמוך במסילות התרבות, הרגשת החוסר מזל עמוקה בתוך לבו... ובתוך לבן של השוק.En: The two women cried tears of recognition: the weakness of language, the embracing of cultural paths, the profound sense of unluckiness deep in his heart... and within the heart of the market.He: אכן, השוק שאבד בתחילה, במספר שעות התמרג כמקום מכירה. במקום ללכת לאיבוד, התחיל אביב להכיר את עצמו מחדש: הכיר את תמר, הכיר את יעל, הכיר את השוק. למד את שפת המקום, למד את לקחי המסילות. בסוף היום, הוא הבין שהאיבוד שהוא חווה היה בראשו, שגם בתל אביב המוכרת ישנן מימדים עמוקה.En: Indeed, the initially lost market, in a few hours, transformed into a familiar place of belonging. Instead of drifting into oblivion, Aviva began to rediscover himself: he met Tamar, he met Yael, he met the market. He learned the language of the place, learned the lessons of the paths. At the end of the day, he understood that the loss he experienced was in his own mind, that even in familiar Tel Aviv, there are deep dimensions.He: בהחלט, הכל בתל אביב היה מוכר לו, אך הוא לא הכיר את זה באמת, עד גילה את השוק השוטפת.En: Indeed, everything in Tel Aviv was familiar to him, but he didn't truly recognize it until he discovered the bustling market.

More than that - it is active, filling the space. On this particular day, its warmth penetrated Abraham's skin, who was wandering the streets of a land that emphasized his close connection to the Los Angeles scene.He: אברהם, אמריקאי אמיתי שנראה בבירתנו הלבנה, התהלך באילמות לכיוון השוק הקרמיל. הוא התעלף מעשרות הרוכלים השוכנים לרחבה, כל עמדה על פי הדין שלה, מתמטית סוערת של קו ראנדום. זה היו בעיקר הטעמים, הריחות והצלילים שתקפו את החושים שלו. היו שם כל מיני חצילים ותפוזים, עשרות מיני בשרסים ודגים, שופר משהה חטיפים וחפיפות. כל אלה בצהרי היום המתיכים מלבישים לכל השוק זהירות נפש במנדיל צבעוני.En: Abraham, a true American seen in our white capital, walked in silence towards the Carmel Market. He brushed past the dozens of vendors scattered in the square, each stationed in their place, creating a tumultuous mathematical equation of randomness. It was mainly the flavors, scents, and sounds that assaulted his senses. There were all kinds of eggplants and oranges, dozens of types of meats and fish, shofar blower offering deals and bargains. All these in the midday heat dressed the entire market in a vibrant, colorful cloak.He: אברהם נרתע והפנה בדרישה לרוני, הפרי החסר כל פחד שהזיק בחלום זהוב מתוך משקה ספרותי בצנם. "אני צריך להגיע לדיזינגוף סנטר , האם תוכל להצביע לי לאיזה כיוון ללכת?", הדגיש את הבקשה באנגלית שטוחה עם מבטא אמריקאי מעמיק. רוני שתק. הוא נפעם עם זאת המילה "דיזינגוף". התלבט רגע, סך הכל כדי לתפאר את השוק שלו, אז רמז – ר....א...ש...מ – אצבע עיוורת לכיוון הים.En: Abraham was taken aback and turned to Roni, the missing fruit without any fear who clung to this golden dream from a literary concoction. "I need to get to Dizengoff Center, can you point me in which direction to go?" he emphasized the request in flat English with a deep American accent. Roni remained silent. He was taken aback by the word "Dizengoff." He hesitated for a moment, just to show off his market, then hinted – R...A...SH...M – pointing blindly towards the sea.He: אברהם המשיך ללכת לכיוון שרמז לו רוני, ממש נשמע תחת רגליו ההמה של החיים של השוק. מתחת לעגלות המעופפות, שגרה לעיתים את כל הרחוב, במיוחד באותו היום שאברהם לא שכח מעולם.En: Abraham continued in the direction Roni hinted, the noise of the market audibly under his feet. Under the flying carts that sometimes blocked the entire street, especially on that day Abraham had never forgotten.He: בהמשך סיפורו, אברהם, המבין את מאמצו לעקוב אחרי הבינה המקומית, מגיע לדיזינגוף סנטר. אברהם מתארח מתחת למיזוג האוויר. זהו משך קצר, חודש בארץ, אבל מתחיל בדרך מאובקת אל מסלול המהיר. בטיול הבא שלו אברהם מתכנן, "אגוזים! הבאתי ניו-יורק אלי. אשתמש בגוגל מפות לא תהיה תקלה בנישואי הפנימיים של המקום הזה. אבל מה... תמיד תהיה לי תמיד את הסיפור שלי עם שוק הכרמל." שה תל אביב, המסע בין קוי המחשבה האזרחים המסתובבים ברחבתה.En: Later in his story, Abraham, understanding his effort to follow the local intelligence, arrives at Dizengoff Center. Abraham is hosted under the air conditioning. It was a short period, a month in the country, but it began with a dusty road towards the fast track. In his next trip, Abraham plans, "Nuts! I brought New York with me. I will use Google Maps so there won't be any trouble with the internal navigation of this place. But what... I will always have my story with the Carmel Market with me." The story of Tel Aviv, the journey between the lines of citizen thoughts wandering in its square.

Fluent Fiction - Hebrew: The Falafel Phone Fiasco: A Tale of Laughter and Love in Tel Aviv Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/the-falafel-phone-fiasco-a-tale-of-laughter-and-love-in-tel-aviv Story Transcript:He: שירה הייתה רעבה, ולא סתם רעבה, אלא רעבה של 'תל אביב בת חמישית בערב'.En: Shirah was hungry, and not just hungry, but hungry like "Tel Aviv at five in the evening" hungry.He: זה היה בוויכמן, סמוך לדיזינגוף, בהדרדרת השמש.En: It was in the evening, near Dizengoff, as the sun was setting.He: מולה, 'פלאפל דיזינגוף‘, מסעדת הפלאפל הכחולה-הבהירה שנמצאה באותו מקום מאז שהיא זוכרת את עצמה.En: In front of her was "Falafel Dizengoff," the light blue falafel restaurant that had been in the same place for as long as she could remember.He: בקוננים זריקים ממסילת רובה הפלאפלים המנומנמים בגופת הפלאפל שבוודקת ששירה הזמינה בשעה האחרונה, היה טלפון.En: Cones of falafel were being thrown from the spinning falafel machine onto the falafel pita that Shirah had ordered an hour ago.He: זרזיף שמן מהפלאפל נוגע במסך.En: A drop of oil from the falafel touched the screen.He: אותה הבנה של שמן ותיבול מלמדה שירה שיחת יוסף ממתינה לתשובה.En: The familiar smell of oil and seasoning told Shirah that Yosef's phone call was waiting for her.He: מבלי לחשוב, שירה הושכה את היד לעבר חצי הפלאפל הרוטבית, הלך האצבע, התחפשה לשלט רחוק, וניסתה לענות.En: Without thinking, Shirah reached her hand towards the half-dunked falafel, her finger searching for the distant control and attempted to answer.He: "אלו", כלשהי היה התשובה.En: "Hello?"He: בשנה השנייה של המילה, שירה הבינה את טעותה.En: was the response.He: השיחה היא לא אמיתית, הפלאפל הוא לא הטלפון, והטלפון שלה הממשי היה מחכה לה בתחתית התיק.En: In the second year of the word, Shirah realized her mistake.He: אך התוססת מחדלה היא לא הכריחה לעצור.En: The conversation wasn't real, the falafel wasn't the phone, and her real phone was waiting for her at the bottom of her bag.He: לעומתה, יוסף, שאף הוא נמצא בתל אביב, אך במשרד שלטתטלפון שלו חזר ונבהל.En: But her stubborn persistence didn't force her to stop.He: "שירה, מה את עושה?En: On the other hand, Yosef, who was also in Tel Aviv but in his office, became startled.He: את מדברת מהפלאפל?En: "Shirah, what are you doing?He: " הוא התפרץ בצחוק.En: Are you talking from the falafel?"He: חרדת השם הוסיפה לתסוסת הממסדר לשירה.En: he burst out laughing.He: "כן, יוסף, אני טועה.En: The fear of getting caught added to the chaos in Shirah's mind.He: זה הפלאפל, לא הטלפון.En: "Yes, Yosef, I'm wrong.He: " היא הייתה צריכה להפסיק את השיחה, אך שיחה הפך שוב לצחוק מצידו.En: It's the falafel, not the phone."He: תוך כדי החייכנות של יוסף בקצה השני, שוב שירה הרגישה הקפצה מבפנים.En: She needed to end the conversation, but laughter made it resurface again.He: הפלאפל בטעות לא היה רק דבר מצחיק, אלא גם תיחסון מקום וזמן.En: During Yosef's cheerful laughter on the other end, Shirah felt an uplift internally.He: הפתעה הזו שהעטאתה את הפלאפל בגאות, והחזירה אותה למחרת חייהם.En: The falafel mistake wasn't just something funny, but also a perspective of place and time.He: החיוך המלא תשוקה של יוסף בצהלת צחוק היה אמירה מחדש שהכל בסדר.En: This unexpected surprise boosted the falafel's pride and brought her back to life the next day.He: עוד שני דקות של צחוק בשיחה הפערה את פי הפלאפל שוב לבליעה, ותוך כדי ששירה אכלת, יוסף הרגיע.En: Yosef's passionate smile in his laughter was reassurance that everything was okay.He: "את רואה, גם אנחנו יכולים להיות מצחיקים", אמר הצחוק שלו במחאת כף.En: Two more minutes of laughter in the diverted conversation made Shirah chew the falafel again, and while she ate, Yosef calmed down.He: כל הדרך המקומית, הרגשתי שהערב המדקדק הזה התעתד אליהם במשמעות.En: "You see, we can be funny too," he said with a clap of hands.He: הטעות והצחוק בה הזדמנו מסופר.En: All the way home, I felt that this precise evening was destined for them.He: עכשיו, כשירה בעיניים עצומות, כווית את פלאפל דיזינגוף עם שובל של צחוק חדש, ואת הפלאפלים פשוט הצליח לאכל בלי לחפש בו שיחות.En: The mistake and the laughter in it were a tale to be told.He: אחרי הלילה הזה, הגילוי זה, והנס זה, תל אביב נראתה לשירה שונה מאוד.En: Now, with Shirah's eyes wide open, she showered Dizengoff falafel with a shower of new laughter, and she managed to eat the falafels without searching for conversations within them.He: שירה בלעה את הפלאפל האחרון והרכיב את עצמה.En: After this night, this revelation, and this miracle, Tel Aviv looked very different to Shirah.He: היא הסתכלה על יוסף ואמרה, "אנחנו אכן מצחיקים, יוסף".En: She looked at Yosef and said, "We truly are funny, Yosef."

On Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Hebrew calendar, Israeli Jews in Tel Aviv clashed about what it means for Judaism to manifest in the public square, tensions that relate directly to recent political battles over the character of the Jewish State. Yehuda Kurtzer sits down with Yossi Klein Halevi and Masua Sagiv to process these events and interrogate their emotional reactions to the protests, the integrity of Jewish prayer, the perils of partisanship, and what it means to be consistent in one's commitment to democracy.  Street fights over prayer offer liberal Israelis a chance to define a Judaism they can believe in by Masua Sagiv The state of our brokenness by Yossi Klein Halevi JOIN OUR EMAIL LIST FOR MORE HARTMAN IDEAS

How did Tel Aviv's Dizengoff square become a battleground for religion and gender segregation on Yom Kippur and how did the conflict become so charged and bitter? In conversation with Allison Kaplan Sommer on the Haaretz Weekly podcast, Orly Erez-Lizhovski, executive director of the Israel Religious Action Center and the country's leading attorney on gender segregation cases, explains the background to the disturbing pictures that dominated Israeli media over Judaism's most solemn holiday. The sight of Jews battling each other in the first Hebrew city were “heartbreaking” and “hard to watch” she said, and were caused by the “failed decisions” of the Israeli police and the Tel Aviv municipality, who refused to intervene when an illegal gender separation barrier was erected in the center of a public square. At the same time, she believes, this moment may represent a turning point, since it “marks a tremendous change in the attitude of this very liberal public toward both issues of religious pluralism and gender segregation. I think it's a very hard and difficult period, but it also signals change into what may be a better future.” This “awakening” she says is happening in the context of the battle against the Netanyahu government's judicial overhaul. “What people may have been willing to accept up until a few years ago, or up until basically the last few months, they are not willing to accept anymore.” The far right anti-liberal group that organized the prayer in Dizengoff square - Rosh Yehudi - "holds extremist views and has been trying to bring these views into the public sphere of Tel Aviv for years," adds Erez-Lizhovski, "But now they were confronted with a reality they have never met before."   Israelis like the ones who went out on Yom Kippur eve to confront the extremists who are trying to force a certain kind of Judaism on society, she says, now “understand that this is not only a fight for the democratic structure of Israel, it's a fight for our Jewish identity.”        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Se aproxima uma das semanas mais importantes para os judeus: Pessach começa na noite do dia 15 de abril - ou 14 de nissán, no calendário judaico - e vai até o dia 23 do mesmo mês. No entanto, a data, amplamente celebrada por judeus de todo o mundo, foi precedida por um dos mais relevantes ataques terroristas dos últimos tempos em Israel. No dia 7 de abril, na rua Dizengoff, uma das mais movimentadas de Tel Aviv, um ataque terrorista deixou três israelenses mortos e diversos feridos. Tomer Morad, Eytam Magini e Barak Lufan foram as vítimas do atentado. Não é o primeiro e, infelizmente, dificilmente será o último atentado terrorista que acontece em Israel. Mas por que esse, particularmente, mexeu tanto com a comunidade judaica em todo o mundo nos últimos dias? Nosso convidado é João Miragaya, ele que mora em Israel, é escritor e editor do Conexão Israel e participante do podcast “Do Lado Esquerdo do Muro”. Apresentação: Anita Efraim e Ana Clara Buchmann.

A semana ocorria sem muitas novidades até que a quarta feira chegou e fomos informados que Idit Silman, líder da coalizão no knesset, do partido Yamina, o mesmo partido do primeiro ministro Naftali Bennett, havia deixado a coalizão. Agora o governo passa a ter 60 cadeiras no parlamento, ou seja, não tem mais maioria. Crise enorme no governo que agora, mais do que nunca, balança na corda bamba. E como se não bastasse, na quinta feira, uma hora antes da gravação do nosso podcast, mais um atentado a tiros leva o pânico à Tel Aviv. Um terrorista abriu fogo na rua Dizengoff uma das principais regiões da noite da cidade com muitos bares e restaurantes, deixando dois mortos e outros feridos. É o quarto atentado em menos de duas semanas. A insônia me permitiu editar o podcast durante a madrugada e por isso ele já está no ar. Episódio #133 do podcast "Do Lado Esquerdo do Muro", com Marcos Gorinstein e João Miragaya.

Philly Who? launched three years ago this week in May of 2018. Today we are celebrating by republishing our one-year anniversary live episode with Mike Solomonov and Steve Cook. The pair are the chefs behind Cooknsolo, a collection of restaurants including Zahav, Federal Donuts, Dizengoff, Goldie, and Abe Fisher. At the time of this interview, Cook and Solo had together accrued 4 James Beard Awards for their restaurants and cookbooks. Just 5 days later, they took home their 5th, as Zahav won the award for Best Restaurant in the country. In this episode, you’ll hear how these two restauranteurs came together to bring Israeli cuisine to Philadelphia. In doing so, they transformed the Philly food scene. But, it wasn’t always sunshine and hummus. As you’ll hear, when Zahav first opened, it struggled mightily, and was in danger of failing thanks to the 2008 financial crash, an intimidating menu, and the revelation to Steve that Mike was struggling with addiction. Hear the story of how Cook and Solo overcame these challenges, and in the 10 years since have built a restaurant empire! Thanks to all who attended the live show - we raised $900 for Broad Street Ministry! This Episode is supported by Crossbeam. Crossbeam is hiring! Check out their available positions here.

When I think of Israeli food, Michael Solomonov is the first person that comes to mind. He creates delicious dishes; whether fried chicken & donuts, a tahini soft serve, or an amazing lamb shoulder braised in schmaltz. He has worked to promote the cuisine of Israel, its vibrant food culture & history, in Philadelphia and beyond. On this episode we talk about food, life, struggles, and what its like everyday to be in the restaurant business. And for the record, I am going to hold him to that trip to Israel we talked about. Follow him: @mikesolomonov Michael Solomonov is the executive chef and co-owner of Philadelphia’s pioneering Israeli restaurant, Zahav, and the co-author of three cookbooks. He is the 2011 James Beard Award winner for “Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic”, a 2016 James Beard Award winner for “Best International Cookbook” and “Book of the Year” for his and business partner/co-author Steven Cook’s first cookbook, Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking, and the 2017 James Beard Award's “Outstanding Chef.” In 2018, Zahav was recognized by Food & Wine Magazine as one of "The 40 Most Important Restaurants of the Past 40 Years". In May of 2019, Zahav was awarded "Outstanding Restaurant" by the James Beard Award Foundation. In addition to his duties at Zahav, Chef Solomonov co-owns Philadelphia's Federal Donuts, Dizengoff, Abe Fisher, and Goldie. In 2019, Solomonov brought another slice of Israeli food culture to Philadelphia with K’Far, an Israeli bakery & café, this past July and Merkaz, an Israeli pita sandwich shop, this past November. In 2020, the pair will also open Laser Wolf, an Israeli shipudiya restaurant in Philadelphia. Since 2017, Solomonov and the Israel Ministry of Tourism (IMOT) are partners in championing Israel’s extraordinarily diverse and vibrant culinary landscape.

Mike is an Israeli chef and restaurateur known for his landmark Philadelphia restaurant, Zahav, where we had the pleasure of speaking to him while we were in town. We spoke to Mike about growing up in a Jewish household in the US, the food of Israel, his introduction to kitchens and how he and his business partner, Steven Cook, have kept expanding their restaurant world to include Abe Fisher, Dizengoff, Percy Street Barbecue and more...

When we booked multiple James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Solomonov and his business partner Steven Cook on Special Sauce to talk about their new book Israeli Soul: Easy, Essential, Delicious and their restaurants (Zahav, Dizengoff, Federal Doughnuts, among others), I thought they'd talk a lot about a typical chef-restaurateur partnership and contemporary Israeli food.    I couldn't have been more wrong. What I heard instead was an incredibly moving story of a friendship made stronger by struggle. Zahav was no overnight sensation, Cook is no ordinary restaurateur, and Solomonov is not your everyday rock star chef.    For example, here is Solomonov speaking about the nature of his relationship with Cook: "It is a true partnership and we are equally on the hook for things when they go wrong. We've learned how to grow together and how to remove ego...and at this point we've done this long enough where if we don't like something we're comfortable talking about it. Like it's safe. We encourage it. With our team and certainly with our managers. The last thing that we want are for people to just agree with us."   Zahav's success was by no means assured at the outset. Israeli food was not exactly trendy in Philadelphia, or anywhere else for that matter. The first year was fraught with peril, but the peril ended up inspiring Solomonov and Cook to experiment with the cuisine and be less hemmed in by tradition. As Solomonov says, "We had no salaries and we were going to close the business and we were squeaking along to really make payroll, to stay open. It forced us to be really diligent and to think about our priorities. And actually, in a way, it freed us too. That was when Zahav, the food or the way that we cook now, sort of came to fruition." Or, as Cook puts it, "There's nothing like the desperation of impending failure to sharpen your focus."   Solomonov and Cook were incredibly candid about Solomonov's well-publicized struggles with substance abuse; Solomonov describes how Cook found out, three months after Zahav opened, that he was keeping secret his crack and heroin addiction. Solomonov says, "Steve, as a friend and business partner and brother, was the first to be supportive and to say, literally, you know, you have a problem and we want you to get help."   The Solomonov-Cook episodes of Special Sauce are so full of life, love, pain, and redemption, they should not be missed. Be sure to tune in next week for the next installment.  --- The full transcript for this episode can be found over here at Serious Eats: https://www.seriouseats.com/2018/11/special-sauce-michael-solomonov-steven-cook-1-2.html

Israeli Soul: Easy, Essential, DeliciousBy Michael Solomonov & Steven Cook Intro: Welcome to the Cookery By the Book Podcast, with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Mike Solomonov: My name is Mike Solomonov, and I'm the co-owner and chef at Zahav restaurant. Steven Cook, my partner and I wrote Israeli Soul, the New Cookbook.Suzy Chase: First off, congratulations. Israeli Soul was named one of the best cookbooks for Fall 2018, by New York Times Cooking. When you were researching this cookbook, did you really have 82 meals in eight days?Mike Solomonov: A lot of bites. A lot of inspiration, but I mean I think that that's kind of how it goes when you're over there. Whenever I travel to Israel, that's usually what it is. My day is sort of dictated by the places I go and eat, you know?Suzy Chase: How was that organized? Did you think about it when you got up that morning, or did you just get up and start walking?Mike Solomonov: I'm away over there, because we were bringing photographer, producer, so on and so forth, we had to be a little bit more diligent about it, but a lot of it was like we have to go to these few places, we have to go to these new cities and not plan the rest of the trip around using those guidelines as work parameters for the entire trip.Suzy Chase: As someone who basically grew up in Pittsburgh, describe exploring Israel through the lens of a chef.Mike Solomonov: Well, I think that that was sort of the seed of the catalyst for opening Zahav, getting into Israeli food, or Israeli culture, by sort of food proxy. I think that when you ... There's something familiar enough about Israel, and obviously over the years became deeply personal, but going over there and experiencing what dining is, is fascinating. At the time that Zahav came to fruition, it was really unlike anything that was happening here. It was so many different cultures, so many different kinds of food represented on one table. I mean like figuratively, but also literally on one table. Through the lens of a diner, through the lens of a partially American or Europe classically trained chef, it's fascinating and life changing, and I thought that the more of that spirit, or that soul that we could bring back to the states, to Philly, to our community, the more excited people would get.Suzy Chase: I just want to thank you for adding in substitution ideas in the cookbook. So often, I get bummed because it's hard to find a random spice, or ingredient, and then I give up, so this was great.Mike Solomonov: I appreciate that. I mean, that's kind of what makes it accessible, you know?Suzy Chase: One thing that surprised me about your goldi falafel recipe was it called for a carrot. Is carrot usually in falafel?Mike Solomonov: I don't think so.Suzy Chase: Because I've never detected carrots. What does the carrot do for the goldi falafel?Mike Solomonov: Well, carrot is sweet, carrot is also bright and [inaudible 00:03:25] carrot hue, so it's got tumeric notes to it as well, so it goes really well with things like tumeric, it's delicious, it's really sweet, and it's adding a vegetable to tenderize the dried chickpeas.Suzy Chase: What in your opinion is the most important Israeli dish?Mike Solomonov: Most important Israeli dish would probably be sabich. It's fried eggplant, with tahini, hard boiled eggs, amba, and usually cabbage, cucumber, tomato, or some variation on those fresh chopped salads inside of a pita.Suzy Chase: What's amba?Mike Solomonov: Amba is a mango pickle that is related to Indian mango pickle, and it's under ripe mangos, fenugreek, sometimes mustard, garlic, that and it's sort of cured, fermented and canned into a paste.Suzy Chase: Talk to me about Drew's Mountain Bread. This is a very flat bread, but is it crunchy? Or more soft like a pita?Mike Solomonov: It's more soft like a pita. When it comes directly off the massage or the wok in our case, it's a little bit crunchy, but as it sits it softens. You can use it to wrap things, it makes incredible wraps. It's sort of like the soft tortilla shell. But it also is perfect for like laying down on tables and scooping up food.Suzy Chase: Now onto hummus. It's interesting that, I read in the book, Israelis don't make it at home often, how come?Mike Solomonov: Oh, I mean I think there's just so many different places in Israel that you can get your hummus ... You know, people do make hummus at home, but there's just so many good places, and it requires tons of chickpeas, sometimes equipment, you know?Suzy Chase: You have so many hummus toppings, what is your favorite way out of the cookbook, to top hummus?Mike Solomonov: I'm sort of into the brussel sprout thing right now for the hummus. But, there's ... To me, hot chickpeas with a little bit of loose tahini inside of the hummus tahini is kind of the best way to eat it.Suzy Chase: Why is store bought hummus so different than homemade hummus? It doesn't even taste the same.Mike Solomonov: I think that the store bought hummus usually has preservatives, like citric acid, which affect the flavor negatively. We like to serve hummus fresh, warm, very ... A little bit of lemon, but not ... pickled or preserved, you know? I think that when you have to ... there's things like fermentation, that gloats of acrid garlic flavor that you have to fight against when you're preserving or doing things store bought. So far nobody's quite figured it out yet.Suzy Chase: You're right, it does taste acrid.Mike Solomonov: I've scrutinized a lot of hummus in my day.Suzy Chase: I be- ... Really? Mike Solomonov: Uh-huh. Yes.Suzy Chase: Half of your family is from Bulgaria. Do you incorporate any of that cuisine into this cookbook?Mike Solomonov: Well, Bulgaria and Ottoman or Balkan ... Balkan cuisine conquered by the Ottomans are a really big thing, so yeah, in many iterations it comes across like Bulgarian kabobs, and the bourekas, those things are very, very important to us. And those are Balkan and Bulgarian origins.Suzy Chase: I know with Zahav and Federal Donuts cookbooks, you thought the digital cookbook could be the thing. Talk about your views on the physical versus digital cookbook.Mike Solomonov: You know, I think that holding something in your hands and sharing it, and appreciating the luster of the pages and specifically Israeli Soul, I think the topography really just pops. It feels like three dimensional real. You want to scoop the food out with your hands, you know?Suzy Chase: Yeah, this cookbook is so stunning, you could just sit it out as a coffee table book.Mike Solomonov: That, too. I mean, I think it minimum, right?Suzy Chase: What did Gil Marks and Joe Nathan teach you?Mike Solomonov: I mean, that's a hard thing to say. Joe Nathan continues to teach me on a daily or weekly basis. I would say she is the leading expert in Jewish food, and in more of an anthropological way a sort of commentary on culture, and she is a walking encyclopedia. Her spirit is about inquiring, and about taking things apart, and about celebrating stories and culture, and family and recipes and food. Gil Marks was an incredible author and obviously well, well researched, and his books, especially the Encyclopedia of Jewish Cooking has had a huge impact on our lives.Suzy Chase: Owning a restaurant group is impossible to navigate by yourself, and Steve Cook is your long-time business partner.Mike Solomonov: Yes.Suzy Chase: In terms of writing cookbooks, do your roles break down the same way as they do for your hospitality group?Mike Solomonov: I do, I think that we've got ... Having a healthy partnership, and friendship, and sort of familial relationship and also maintaining sanity while growing a restaurant group from seven employees to over 200 over the course of a decade is not the easiest thing. Yeah, I'm not sure, it sort of changes every day, I think. You know, adapting, becoming resourceful, and balancing the needs of our team, and the needs of our guests, the juggling act that we do all the time, you know?Suzy Chase: I was so bummed to see that Dizengoff closed at Chelsea Market, which is up the street from me. Are you going to open up another one in the city? Or no?Mike Solomonov: I don't know. As of right now, we've got so much going on with Philly. We've got ... You know with the book coming out, we've got a couple new projects that we are working on, and I think that as of right now, we're kind of hanging out solo.Suzy Chase: Okay, well, we'll have to come to you.Mike Solomonov: You know, it's an hour and 20 minutes by train.Suzy Chase: The other night, I made your recipes for a five minute hummus, chopped salad, lamb meatballs and chicken thigh schawarma. I made the two spice mixes, which I think they were key. Talk a little bit about the spice mix section in this cookbook.Mike Solomonov: Well, again, we wanted to make this really accessible, and really easy for people. I think that that ... I think demystifying and showing people that it is literally as simple as between two spices, and applying them to certain ingredients, and then very simple cooking technique creates something sort of ethereal or something that represents this magic of the sum of all parts. I think that with cooking people get scared. Certainly with spices. But with a cuisine that isn't like Italian, or American-Italian they get freaked out. Our job, our livelihood is really based on that, of demystifying and sort of celebrating it, and guiding gently through what it takes to make dishes pop and sing.Suzy Chase: Now, to my segment called, "My Last Meal." If you had to place an order for your last supper, what would it be?Mike Solomonov: I think it would be Dim Sum. Suzy Chase: Oh, so what kind of Dim Sum?Mike Solomonov: There used to be a restaurant in Philly called Lakeside Chinese Deli. They made the most incredible taro rolls, and I would eat like ten of them, you know? But, I think when I'm not cooking Israeli food, I eat tons of Asian foods, and I don't really cook any Asian food whatsoever.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on social media, the web and in Philly?Mike Solomonov: Well, in Philly, you can catch me at Zahav.

Andrew Friedman kicks off HRN’s coverage of Feast Portland with Philadelphia’s award-winning chef Mike Solomonov. Over a single cup of coffee, the two discuss the magic of Oregon produce, the importance of mentoring other chefs, and the trip that inspired Mike’s newest book Israeli Soul. Mike also opens up about his personal struggle with sobriety and his participation in the festival’s very first in Zero Proof dinner. Michael Solomonov is the Executive Chef and Co-Owner of Philadelphia’s pioneering Israeli restaurant, Zahav. In addition to his duties at Zahav, Chef Solomonov co-owns Philadelphia’s Federal Donuts, Dizengoff, Abe Fisher, Goldie, NYC’s Dizengoff, and the philanthropic Rooster Soup Company, which donates 100% of its profits to Broad Street Ministry Hospitality Collaborative that provides meals and essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness and hunger in Philadelphia.

Don Futterman, Allison Kaplan Sommer, and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Listen to the extra special, special extra segment. Radical Tail Wagging a Moderate Dog? Polls show that Likud voters are socialist, gay and lesbian supporting, religious pluralists, who are far to the left of their leaders on most matters: How can this be? B2LGBTQ Hundreds of Israeli corporations rush to support LGBTQ activists after the Knesset fails to extend to gay men the right to use surrogates to bear children. Business usually avoid politics like the plague: why is this issue different? Street Smarts Experts find that Dizengoff is the best street in Israel. But what makes a street great? And why are we so bad at creating hip and happening streets? Extra Segment: Kinderguardians Come to Washington: One Congressman Seriously Hurt For our primo Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we discuss the segment of Sasha Baron Cohen’s new Showtime series, Who Is America, in which he impersonates one Col. Erran Morad, an Israeli lobbying American Republican gun rights activists and congressfolk, to adopt a faux Israeli program called Kinderguardians, aiming to arm kids tots. What the hell sort of image are these American Republicans carry around of Israel, that made Baron Cohen’s ruse seem plausible?

At his restaurants Zahav, Abe Fisher, Dizengoff, Rooster Soup Company, Goldie and others, Philadelphia-based chef and restaurateur Mike Solomonov has established himself as the standard-bearer of modern Jewish/Israeli cuisine. While at the Philly Chef Conference recently, Andrew and Mike borrowed a conference room for an impromptu rap session about what it means to be Jewish in the industry, the pitfalls of modern communication, where new restaurant ideas come from, and the secrets behind Philadelphia’s burgeoning restaurant scene (hint: it’s a good place for cooks to live).

Nelson Burd e Yair Mau conversam sobre o atentado terrorista em Jerusalém que matou 4 pessoas, a suspeita de corrupção do primeiro-ministro Netanyahu, a homenagem da Alemanha às vítimas do terror em Israel, e a reforma na praça Dizengoff em Tel Aviv.

This week on Jawn Appetit, we recap our recent trips to Dizengoff and Mac Mart - both of which get two thumbs up from the crew. Later in the show, we preview Center City Restaurant Week and take a bite out of the new frozen donut cheeseburgers at Wal-Mart.

Michael Solomonov makes hummus so transcendently good it will make you wonder how it can possibly share a name with the stuff you eat out of the plastic tub with baby carrots when there's no food in the house. On today's episode, the Dizengoff chef and his business partner Steve Cook go deep on Israeli cuisine—with a side of cheesesteaks (they're Philly boys, after all). Learn more about your ad choices.

Is there a dangerous terrorist organization of young Jews from Judea & Samaria? Did the shin bet use torture to extract confessions for innocent kids? If so, was it justified ? TIS continues the analysis of the larger issues in this evolving story. The manhunt is still on for the Arab terrorist who shot up the cafe on Dizengoff this past Friday. What makes this attack very different from previous attacks ? TIS bring you up to the minute information and insights. And as always the great Israeli music mix.
