But What IS Chulent?

Chulent (sometimes spelled cholent) is a traditional slow-simmering Sabbath stew in Jewish cuisine that was developed by Ashkenazi Jews consisting of potatoes, meat, barley, beans and onions. It was 'invented' as a way of both enjoying fresh hot food on Shabbat day while not violating the Biblical prohibition of cooking on the Shabbat. For some, chulent is the aroma of nostalgia; others, it is the food of heaven. It has been called the taste of tradition and faith. For us, it is an event that brings our community together!
