Not Your Typical Thanksgiving Dinner

Junior Neeva Shafiian is Persian and said how a lot of pareve dishes (food that doesn’t contain milk and meat) were included in her Thanksgiving dinner because a lot of people keep kosher and choose not to drink milk. “There are lots of beans, stew, and parsley on our table. As for dessert, we had sholeh zard which tastes like rice pudding and we get to decorate it.”

We asked our diverse group of students to share some of their delicious cultural dishes that they include on their Thanksgiving dinner table. From savory pork soup, to sweet baklava, Jericho families enjoyed a variety of  unique additions to the traditional Thanksgiving meal.

The JerEcho corrected the phrasing of the caption including Neeva Shafiian’s quote from “people are kosher” to “people keep kosher and choose not to drink milk.”

  1. To the editor:
    People are not kosher–food is kosher. People “keep” kosher. Also, milk by itself is kosher, but it violates the laws of kashrut to consume milk with meat (fish excluded).
