Judaism is all about infusing the physical world with spiritual awareness. That’s one of the reasons the Jewish star, the main symbol of Judaism, is made up of two triangles, one pointed up and the other pointed down, one pointed towards the heavens (the spiritual) and one pointed towards the earth (the physical). When we choose to approach the very physical act of eating with spiritual attention we literally have the ability, as we have already seen, to change our lives and even the entire world.  Learn more about how to make eating more spiritual.

Every culture and cuisine has a soup dumpling. Gríz galuska, these little puffs of semolina goodness, are the unsung heroes of Hungarian cuisine. They're like the tiny, fluffy clouds of a flavorful soup sky. Imagine biting into a tender, melt-in-your-mouth dumpling that's packed with the comforting warmth of your favorite broth. That's the magic of gríz galuska!

These aren't just any dumplings, folks. They're the result of centuries of Hungarian culinary wisdom. So, grab your apron, gather your ingredients, and let's embark on a journey to create these delightful little bites of heaven.

A cross between matzah balls and kubbeh you can serve these fluffy dumplings in Sour Kubbeh Soup or more traditionally Hungarian Goulash.

I have not seen semolina in the store. Where does one find that? Does Publix sell it in what aisle would it be by?
