Why We Eat Hot Cholent on Shabbat
Hands down, it’s the long-simmering stew of Shabbat morning that is its signature staple. A surprisingly strong statement from a 12 century luminary – incorporated into the menu of the Shulchan Aruch, Judaism’s proverbial “Set Table” of Torah Law – gives us a taste of just how important serving and eating this traditional delicacy really is!

Finally, a bag of beans added to the mix, concludes this delightfully flavored offering!
