✨This Rosh Hashanah, we’re honored to share Anna Gershenson's (@anna_gershenson) story. The first Rosh Hashanah dinner she hosted came on the heels of the saddest moment of her life. Her mother Rhoda, who Anna remembers as “the heart and soul of our family,” passed away just before the holiday. Through the haze of grief, she stepped into the role of matriarch, making her mother’s kreplach and teiglach, a sweet pastry boiled in honey.🍯 🍽 “How wonderful it was that our family gave us this gift of what it meant to be Jewish, not just through anti-semitism, but through these beautiful traditions that came to us through generations,” Anna says. 💫 🔗 Link in bio for Anna’s Latvian-Aschkenazi Rosh Hashanah menu and more on her family story. 📸: @pennydelossantos 🍲: @judyhaubert 🥣: @vanessalvazquez
