Prepare for an extraordinary Passover experience as we journey through the perfect wine pairings for your Seder table. Broadcasting from Rav Shlomo Katz's beautiful synagogue in Efrat, this special collaboration between The Kosher Terroir and JM in the AM delivers both practical wisdom and spiritual depth for the holiday.
Simon Jacob guides us through his meticulously curated wines for the four cups – beginning with La Forêt Blanche rosé from the historic Yatir region (where King David planted vineyards for Temple's sacrifices), progressing to the robust Flam White Label, continuing with a light Tepperberg Grenache, and culminating with the sweet Ya'acov Oryah "G" Gwurtztraminer that perfectly complements the Afikomen. Along the way, Simon solves the perennial Passover dilemma of what to serve at Kiddush Club when whiskey is forbidden, recommending premium kosher brandies like Julius from the Golan.
The conversation transcends mere wine tasting as Rav Shlomo Katz shares profound insights about the sacred balance between Torah study and spiritual connection during the Seder. He describes how his father would "daven the Haggadah" rather than simply read it, creating an experience that passes authentic tradition to the next generation. "It's the night that you could give over Yiddishkeit to your children more than any other night of the year," Nachum Segal explains, calling Seder night "a fulcrum of the entire year."
Perhaps most moving is the discussion of the symbolic "fifth cup" representing V'heveti – God's promise to bring the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. As Nachum Siegel powerfully states, "The story that begins with the exodus from Egypt has only one ending... the Jews who spent hundreds of years in Egypt, eventually getting to Eretz Yisrael."
Whether you're seeking practical wine guidance or deeper connection to Passover's enduring traditions, this episode offers wisdom to enhance your celebration. Chug Pesach Kasher V'Samayach
