There was a family that moved into our neighborhood many years ago. They were from Haifa I believe. They only lived in the US 2 or 3 years and then moved back home, but while they were here I became very close with them. At the time I was in the 5th grade and in that grade we had to do a report on a country of our picking. I chose Israel. Part of the report was that you needed to cook a food from that country. My neighbors showed me how to make sufgonyot (sp?). They were a huge hit with the class. I will never forget that.
For those that do not know, sufgonyot are like jelly doughnuts.
