Subject: [Avodah] The Halachic Challenges of the Cheesecake
Interestingly, the upcoming holiday of Shavuos nowadays might be best known
for the minhag that even many non-practicing Jews are stringent for: eating
cheesecake. Yet, did you know that by abiding by this time honored and
delicious custom, you are actually commemorating a korban? And what does it
have to do with the prohibition of Dairy Bread?<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsable.madmimi.com%2Fc%2F10500%3Fid%3D294966.1334.1.26049c6e134744df6e018ca86addf8d7&data=02%7C01%7Cllevine%40stevens.edu%7C1058c53fd23e41cb101108d6ea98f767%7C8d1a69ec03b54345ae21dad112f5fb4f%7C0%7C0%7C636954340045021048&sdata=D%2BTMHV1pyeoqdpEqcOcYbpNQthRHtGNro7KGU72UsxA%3D&reserved=0>
