According to
Joanne Caras, each cookbook
sold creates three "mitzvahs," or good
deeds, namely raising money for charities,
supporting the soup kitchen in Israel, and,
perhaps most important, honoring all
Holocaust survivors by keeping their stories
alive for generations to come. The recipes
include breads,
Kugels and
Desserts,
in addition to traditional
Passover dishes such as Matzo
Dumpling
Soup. |

Two years
ago Joanne Caras of Port St Lucie, Florida,
visited her son and daughter-in-law in
Jerusalem. Among the sites visited was
Carmei Ha’ir, the Soup Kitchen, where they
both volunteer. Carmei Ha’ir serves more
than 500 meals each day to poor and hungry
Israelis.
So impressed was Joanne with the Soup
Kitchen that she came home determined to
raise money to support them.
For more than two years Joanne and her
entire family worked tirelessly to collect
recipes and stories from Holocaust
Survivors. They are all compiled into this
unforgettable cookbook.
“We asked Holocaust Survivors to send us
their favorite recipe, photos, and also the
story of how they were able to survive the
Holocaust”, Joanne said. “We collected 129
stories from all over the world, including
Europe, South America, Australia, Canada,
New Zealand, South Africa, Israel, and many
US states. Each one is a miracle!
“In the introduction to our cookbook we ask
each person who cooks one of the recipes to
also read to their family the story that
comes with it. That way, not only will we
preserve the recipes, but more importantly
we will help to insure that the stories of
these brave Survivors will live on for
generations to come,” Joanne added.
Proceeds from every cookbook sold will
benefit Carmei Ha’ir. Cookbooks can be
purchased individually at the retail price
or in large quantities at the wholesale
price by groups who want to sell them to
members as a fundraiser.
“Our goal is to raise $1 million for Carmei
Ha’ir, and millions more for Jewish groups
all over the world”, Joanne said. “In total
we would like to raise $6 million as a
tribute to the memory of those Jews who did
not survive the Holocaust.”
