Photo by Keri WhiteIn many Sephardic cultures, the first bite to break the fast is traditionally something sweet a piece of cake, dried fruit, sugared nuts, a spoonful of jam or a milky, sweet drink made from an infusion of rosewater and toasted seeds. Some Ashkenazi Jews serve zimsterne, a star-shaped spice cookie, to start their break-fast. Todays column takes that theme and varies it a bit, featuring three different cookie recipes for your Yom Kippur buffet: white chocolate coconut raspberry jam cookies, flourless chocolate chocolate chip cookies and pecan snowball cookies

Seventeen years ago a number of courageous individuals, with the help of US military personnel, entered the flooded basement Saddam Hussein's secret police headquarters in Baghdad and found a miracle: nearly 20,000 personal and religious artifacts confiscated from Iraq's Jewish community, some dating back to the 1600s. The Iraqi government had begun stripping Iraqi Jews of their property in 1952, leading the former owners to believe their treasures had been lost forever. Among the finds: handwritten notes by one of the leading Rabbinical scholars of the early 20th century, the Ben Ish Hai, and the records from the last Jewish school in Iraq, the Frank Iny School.
