Miriam’s Advice Well
Philacatessen COVID COMPLICATES INTERFAITH
CELEBRATIONS ZA’ATAR FLATBREAD
The pandemic has thrown a wrench into
just about every aspect of society, and that
includes interfaith celebrations. A reader
asks Miriam how to make Christmas good
for a spouse without crossing her own boundaries. Miriam suggests
focusing on what really matters to them this year and also notes
that this can be a time to establish new traditions. For details, read
Miriam’s Advice Well online. From dating to parenting, Miriam
welcomes all questions. Email yours to news@jewishexponent.com
and put “Advice Well Question” in the subject line.

Za’atar flatbread makes for a fine accompaniment to many
meals and isn’t all that difficult to make, according to food
columnist Keri White. If you’ve got some pizza dough, some
za’atar seasoning and an oven, you can make the tasty flatbread
in less than 30 minutes. Read Philacatessen, her online blog, for
the recipe and cooking instructions. And check Philacatessen
regularly for content not normally found in the printed edition,
including other recipes, gift ideas, restaurant reviews and food
news from around the Delaware Valley.
