With the long-awaited opening of Sally's Apizza in Stamford - and this Stamford Advocate front page story featuring TBE's own Jeremy Young, who reviews pizza for the Stamford High newspaper (and only cheese pizza, I must happily add), it's time to get down to the matter at hand. Why is pizza the quintessential Jewish food? True, there are no holidays that call on us to eat pizza, it didn't exist in the Bible and, really there is nothing Jewish about pizza - but we can't let mere facts stop us. So, with David Letterman's show so much on our minds this week, I give you the Top Ten Reasons Jews Love Pizza. Please send me your own!
1) It unites the major Jewish festivals: Passover (flat bread), Shavuot (dairy) and Sukkot (veggie toppings.) But no fruit, please. Especially pineapple (yechh).
2)
Throw in Hanukkah, which also is a time to eat cheese a
nd oil. And even Judah Maccabee likes Greek pizza!
