I'm Aiton Weinstein.

And I'm Naor Menninger.

And you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys.

This podcast is made in collaboration with the Jewish Journal.

Everybody knows the old joke about Jewish holidays.

Basically, all Jewish holidays boil down to they tried to kill us, we survived, they let's eat. Food and Jewish holidays. Basically, all Jewish holidays boiled down to they tried to kill

us, we survived, they, let's eat. Food in Jews is a millennia old romance. And if you visit

Israel today, there's no question that that romance has produced a lot of good food. From

the empires of Ayal Shani, Asafghanit, and Aharoni, to the thousands of bistros, hummus shops, and falafel stands, Israel is stuffed with delicious food.

Ruthie Edelstein leads food tours, she is not a certified tour guide, for delicious Israel, or as Delicious Israel calls you guys, delicious experts.

Delicious Israel is an organization that offers personalized walking, travel, and cooking tours

for foodies seeking the real Israel experience.

We're thrilled to have Ruthie on the podcast today to talk about some of the tastiest spots in Israel, just one or two, the colorful people she's met, and how the hell she ended up moving to the Middle East from Sacramento.

So maybe we start.

Maybe we changed the position of your beer because it makes me so nervous.

I'm afraid, but I didn't want it here.

That makes me nervous.

So do you guys do the big spots?

Do you guys do like Asafganit, Aal Shanee?
