FYI: It was thanks to a Jew
that the Navy stopped that
horrendous practice of flog-
ging.
Uriah Levy, whose name is on the
destroyer the U.S.S. Levy, Foined the
Navy in 1812. His associates
labeled him "terrible-tempered Lt.
Levy" and "terrible Uriah" because
he would tolerate no anti-Semitism.
Levy was so outspoken, in fact, that
he ended up fighting a duel — and
being court-martialed six times.
Nonetheless, Levy went on to
become a commodore and con-
vinced the Navy to stop flogging.
FYI: The word "mitzvah"
does not translate to "good
deed."
In fact, "mitzvah" means com-
mandment. The Torah does direct us
to be compassionate, generous and
perform acts of lovingkindness, but
you're doing a mitzvah, too, when
you light Shabbat candle's.
- FYI: It took 400 years to
write the Mishnah.
The Talmud comprises two parts,
the Mishnah and the Gemara. For
all these years great rabbis read,
and debated, and considered the
Torah and what it could teach Jews
about every aspect of life, from
medicine to business. No doubt
you have heard of some of the
more famous of these rabbis, like
Hillel and Shammai. Judah Hanasi
then compiled all this great work
into what became known as the
Mishnah. Later, other rabbis told
wondrous tales to help explain the
Torah, and these, along with mat-
ters of law and science, were com-
piled into the Gemara. The
Schooc is here.
Gemara took about 300 years of
work, and was written down in
500 CE
•Though written down by human
beings, like the Torah the Talmud is
the word of God
FYI: You may think chicken
soup is the quintessential
Jewish food. But to
Sephardim, that honor
belongs to schoog.
Ask most Jews today to talk about
Jewish foods and they'll mention
chicken soup or gefilte fish. This is
because most Jews living in the
United States have their roots in
Eastern Europe. Sephardim, though,
prefer a deliciously hot concoction c-\
called schoog. You can find both
green and red varieties at falafel
stands throughout Israel, or you can
make your own. Ready to give it a
try? You will need:
6 hot peppers
olive oil
4 garlic cloves
cumin and turmeric, to taste
First, put on gloves because the
hot peppers can burn the skin.
Grate peppers into a bowl. Grate
garlic and mix with peppers.
Add enough olive oil to make
paste. Add spices (start with just a
little; you can always use more).
Refrigerate overnight.
Remember! Schoog is very, very,
very hot (and not appropriate for
young children)! If your taste buds
are sensitive, try using fewer pep-
pers.
