Gangsters, Immigrants and Geezers, Oh My!

Great Schlep of 2008: Comedian Sarah Silverman called on young voters to go to Florida to see their grandparents (and vote for Obama).

1. At over 850,000 Jews, Florida is home to 16% of the American Jewish community.

2. Miami has the third largest Jewish Metro area in North America right behind New York and Los Angeles.

3. Miamis southern counties have the second largest concentration of Jewish inhabitants after Israel (15%).

4. The city of Fort Myers was named for Colonel Abraham C. Myers in 1850. Colonel Myers, who descended from a London Rabbi, later served as the Quartermaster General of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.

5. The first reported Jews to settle in Florida were Joseph D. Palacios, Alexander Solomons and Samuel Israel, who moved from New Orleans to Pensacola in 1763 when England acquired Florida in the Treaty of Paris.

6. David Levy Yulee was the first U.S. Senator from Florida when it became the 27th state in 1845, and the first person of Jewish heritage elected to serve in the United States Senate. The son of Moses Levy, who developed large parts of Florida in the hope of creating a New Jerusalem for Jewish settlers, he served two terms (1845-1851 and 1855-1861) and helped write Floridas Constitution.

7. Actress and comedian Maya Rudolph was born in Gainesville, Florida. Her father is the composer and producer, Richard Rudolph.

8. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who currently serves as the U.S. Representative for Floridas 23rd congressional district, was the first Jewish congresswoman elected from Florida. Together with Senator Arlen Specter and the Jewish Museum of Florida, she was the driving force behind the resolution that President Bush signed in 2006 declaring May Jewish American Heritage Month. 9. Palm Beach County in South East Florida, boasts the oldest median Jewish age in the country at 70.

Bono on tour in 2011. Image via Wikipedia

Bono has dressed up in many styles throughout his career, from a classic leather-jacketed rock star to hisMr. Macphistoalter ego in the early 90s.

However, U2 guitarist The Edge recently gave the world a new outfit in which to imagine Bono: that of a Hasidic Jew.

Bono seriouslyinjuredhimself while riding his bike through Central Park on Nov.16, and when asked this week why no photos were taken of Bono right after his accident, The Edge gave an amusing answer.

You know, when Bono goes cycling, he likes to dress up as a Hasidic Jew, hetoldhis interviewer at KROQ, a Los Angeles radio station.

Several media outlets pounced on the story without knowing that The Edge was joking. A spokesman for Bono had to confirm the joke to theTimes of Israel.

There are several ironies here.

Firstly, Bonos injury forced U2 to pull out of KROQs Christmas concert, Almost Acoustic Christmas. Maybe The Edges comments had more religious undertones than he thought.

Secondly, the Hasidic communities of Brooklyn have actually come out strongly against New Yorks bike lanes in recent years. In 2009, Hasidic Jewssuccessfully campaigned to remove a bike lane from Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, arguing that cyclists do not follow traffic laws and dress immodestly. In 2012, when the Citi Bike bike-sharekiosks opened across the city, there was a glaring lack of themin South Williamsburg, something many Brooklyn residents saw as adeferenceto the Orthodox communities there.

Lastly, for many U2 fans, the fact that Bonos accident happened on aSundayholds an additional darkly ironic significance. (However, at least he was not riding his bike on Shabbat.)

This recipe is my little Chanukah gift to all my Ashkenazi friends, who never got to wake up on Sunday mornings in Casablanca to the smell of the worlds greatest doughnuts my mothers sfenj. You wont find these hot, doughy marvels at Krispy Kreme or any of those trendy new doughnut joints. For one thing, how would they market a doughnut pronounced shfinz?

Sfenj are a ubiquitous fried pastry in North Africa. The name is based on the Arabic word for sponge, not because they soak up oil, but because a perfect sfenj my mothers is light and springy.

The doughnuts really make their star appearance in Jewish homes around Chanukah, when foods fried in oil take center stage. They are the perfect complement to Ashkenazi latkes a culinary model of Jewish unity.

Thanks to some help from my cousin SydneySuissa, who did grow up with me in Morocco, the recipe below includes a few tricks gathered by my mother over 50 years of making the same item. If you follow the instructions, your sfenj will be so delicious, you can tell your kids its their Chanukah gift.

SFENJ (Moroccan Chanukah doughnuts)

Mix together flour, yeast, salt and granulated sugar. Add oil and egg, mixing lightly. Add the water slowly, using your hands to work it into the mixture.

Knead the dough gently; shape it into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours.

Wet hands slightly, then roll dough into small balls. Flatten, then create a hole using your finger, and stretch the dough gently.
