Meat Borscht
Meat borscht comes from Russia and is a winter favorite. It is cooked for several hours on a low flame and its pungent aroma penetrates every corner of the home. It has become popular to serve hot borscht at parties at the stroke of midnight. No one wanting to miss this treat will go home before that hour. The influx of thousands of newcomers from the former Soviet Union in recent years has reinforced the popularity of the various types of borscht in Israel.

Kichlach
The word kichlach is Yiddish for cookies and derived from central Europe. Israeli soldiers enjoy getting parcels with sweet things from home; and mothers are very efficient in keeping them well-supplied with cakes. The popular kichlach are to be found in many of the packages destined for these young soldiers.
