Jenny Peterson: The couple, who now call Lisbon, Portugal home, knew they wanted to plan their wedding in Sabrina’s hometown with an intimate gathering of friends, a Jewish ceremony with a chuppah to honor Adam’s family, and Filipino-inspired touches to honor Sabrina’s heritage.

MICHELLE POGREBINSKY: A priest and a rabbi walk into a 20 degree snowy outdoor wedding sounds like the beginning of a joke however in our case it was the happiest day of our lives. We can't believe how its already been a year since our wedding and look forward to what the next year will bring (our baby!). We want to thank all our amazing friends and family for their support, we love you all very much!

MICHALI ROTHSTEIN: When people say they love to do something, it usually comes from a special place inside. For me, cooking has always been a passion that makes my heart smile. I attribute my love for cooking to my mother who, to this day, keeps the family tradition of Filipino cuisine alive. As a young child, I loved watching and helping my mother prepare our family meals. At the age of seven, I immigrated to Southern California from the Philippines. Even though it was comfortable and easy to assimilate into the American cuisine of hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza and sundaes, I still longed for the Filipino food that my mother prepared.

As I grew older, I collected and recreated the treasured family recipes from my childhood. The savory smells filled my kitchen and I reminisced about cherished family gatherings. In my thirties, I experienced a monumental turning point and converted to Judaism before I married my husband. Part of the conversion process was learning about and keeping a kosher home. As with many challenges in life, converting Filipino ingredients to kosher ones was sometimes not as easy as converting to Judaism. Oy Vey! What was a girl to do?

Moving forward with eager motivation, I put on my apron and began to experiment. I quickly discovered that I could create authentic Filipino dishes by using kosher ingredients. With repeated trial and error, I was delighted to replicate recipes that would make my mother proud. “Kosher with a twist” is a loving compilation of prized and easy to make Filipino meals from my family to yours. Enjoy!

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
