Day 2 of #TurkeyJewishRoadtrip:
On the road from Bursa to Çeşme
While on road lets talk😊
Did you know that #Turkey is an important source of #Kosher food? Hundreds of manufacturers all over the country produce anything from raw material to ready to eat products.

By the way: Kosher food does not mean food that is blessed by a rabbi!
Rather it is food that has been prepared according to Jewish law - there are no mixtures of meat/milk, it is insect free, meat or chicken have to be prepared properly according to Jewish law and more...

The Turkish Jewish community @tyahuditoplumu through @DenetGida which certifies hundreds of plants, as well as the @OrthodoxUnion and @OKKosher have their field representatives inspect plants to assure they are fit for the kosher consumer.
Last year @EliChitrik and I did our first #TurkeyJewishRoadtrip - we visited some 100 manufacturing facilities, to assure that they fit to the kosher standards... @DavidianKlein wrote about our trip at the @jdforward

Oh... The beauty in the simplicity...
@ChaimChitrik at the wheel...
KEZADA is an #İzmirli Jewish ritual/Minhag where a tray full full of kezada (marzipan) shaped like two doves (and lots of Kezada eggs - to multiply!) it is passed over the heads of the bride and groom after the Hupah!
What a sweet custom! Buen Mazal para todos!

Rabbi Eitan Webb @Chabad of Princeton University @ChabadOnCampus officiated - and asked me to say a few words - I shared the significance of breaking a glass at the end of a Hupah (marriage ceremony)...
"We are a people of #history...We break a glass to remember #Jerusalem..."
"We are a people of #history...We break a glass to remember #Jerusalem..."
High or low - we shall always remember that endurance is the key to redemption!
Mazal Tov!!!
