visited Israel knows a tour of
the country is not complete
without sampling pita, falafel
and hummus.

However, educator Danny
Stein knows that if you don’t try
Yemenite lachuch and Tunisian
burika, you’re missing out on
the country’s diverse culinary
heritage. On Feb. 3, Jewish National
Fund Women for Israel offered
Eastern Pennsylvania residents
a virtual tour of a site where
nearly every category of Israeli
cuisine can be found: Carmel
Market in Tel Aviv.

The virtual tour of the
market, or shuk, “From Our
Jewish Home to Our Jewish
Homeland,” was guided by
Stein, a Philadelphia native
and Jack M. Barrack Hebrew
Academy (formerly Akiba
Hebrew Academy) alum. He
attended JNF-USA’s college
prep study abroad program
Alexander Muss High School
in Israel as a student and now
works as an educator there.

During the tour, Stein
highlighted dishes from Jewish
groups throughout Europe and
the Middle East. In addition to
describing recipes and family
businesses, Stein explained
how each food arrived in Israel
with Jewish groups making
aliyah, from pastries made
by Holocaust survivors from
Hungary to kebabs brought
by Romanian Jews who
immigrated from the Soviet
Union. He also spoke about the
