Episode 17: Food & the Jewish Culture with Ruth Halter
Sept. 7, 2021
"...one of the things I did get to learn from his mom was how to make matzo ball soup, and the other word for that would be Jewish penicillin. At least we'd joke that way, but it truly does help cure a cold. Well, it doesn't really help cure a cold, but it helps you feel better, naturally. I do it the traditional way. I boil my chicken with the vegetables in there and then, a whole chicken, and that's making my broth." -Ruth Halter
