    It’s Hanukkah! In this cozy episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, Jonah is joined by culinary expert, social media darling, and New York Times-bestselling cookbook author Jake Cohen for a conversation about Jewish food, ritual, and the unifying power of gathering around the table. Known for zhuzhing up traditional Jewish cuisine with a distinctly modern yet reverent flair, Jake reflects on how food has become his spiritual practice and creative outlet for expressing Jewish identity.Jake shares how hosting Shabbat dinners became his primary avenue to building community and all the celebrity pals he has welcomed to his table, from Benny Blanco to Shoshana Bean to Katie Couric to Isaac Mizrahi. He opens up about his journey from being a self-described “High Holiday Jew” to becoming a leading voice in contemporary Jewish food culture, emphasizing the importance of authenticity, hospitality, and incorporating Jewish values into everyday life. The conversation also touches on Jake’s three best-selling cookbooks — Jew-ish, I Could Nosh and Dinner Party Animal — which aim to make Jewish cooking accessible, joyful, and inviting to Jews and non-Jews alike. Jonah and Jake explore the intersection of Jewish and queer identity, the importance of inviting dissenting opinions to your dinner table, how to host an epic dinner party, and Jake’s hopes for a more connected and peaceful future. It’s an episode filled with comfort, laughter, and the unmistakable warmth of Hanukkah.A special thank you to this episode’s sponsor:American Friends of the Hebrew University and the podcast The View From Mount ScopusMENTIONSDinner Party Animal: Recipes to Make Every Day a CelebrationJake Cohen InstagramJake Cohen TiktokJake Cohen WebsiteThe Seleucide EmpireHanukkah Antisemitism vs. Purim AntisemitismHellenism and JudaismThe Surprising Origin of The DreidelJonah @ The Big ShabbatThe Temple Emanu-El Streicker CenterThe Big ShabbatJoan NathanAdeena SussmanEthiopian Jewish Chef and Restaurateur Beejhy Barhany on Her New Cookbook, “Gursha”Tsion CafeJew-Ish: A Cookbook Jake Cohen Saveur ArticlesNanny’s Rosh Hashanah Apple CakeOneTableMurray’s CheeseEvan Ross KatzAdam EliTokin’ Jew Lemon Sumac x Jake CohenQuick Challah Recipe Demo in Under 1 Minute!“The Nanny” Is the Kind of Celebratory, Unabashed Representation Jewish Women DeserveWatch Curb Your EnthusiasmI Could Nosh: Classic Jew-ish Recipes Revamped for Every Day―Modern Jewish Recipes for Everyday Noshing Left Behind – A Project Opening up Little-Known Holocaust Histories as well as New ToolsJews of Liège under the Occupation (1940-1944)Jake Cohen and Benny Blanco bagel Instagram postCurb Your Enthusiasm “Bad Middling” SceneThese New Yorkers were in Israel when the war with Iran began.
