1. April/ Nisan
IN ISRAEL

2. The 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine was a nationalist uprising by
Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine against British colonial
rule, as a demand for independence and opposition to mass Jewish
immigration .The uprising began with an attack on 15 April 1936 on a
convoy of trucks on the Nablus to Tulkarm road during which the
assailants shot two Jewish drivers. During the summer of that
year, thousands of Jewish-farmed acres and orchards were
destroyed, Jewish civilians were attacked and murdered, and some
Jewish communities fled to safer areas.
The first major law to curtail the rights of Jewish citizens was the
Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which was
published on April 7, 1933, these laws excluded Jews and the
“politically unreliable” from civil service in Germany.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the 1943 act of Jewish
resistance that arose within the Warsaw Ghetto in German-occupied
Poland during World War II, and which opposed Nazi Germany's final
effort to transport the remaining Ghetto population to Treblinka
extermination camp. The most significant portion of the rebellion took
place from April 19, and ended when the poorly armed and supplied
resistance was crushed by the Germans, who officially finished their
operation to liquidate the Ghetto on 16 May. It was the largest single
revolt by Jews during World War II.
Eichmann's trial before the Jerusalem District Court began on 11 April
1961. Eventually, He was sentenced to death in 1962.
Izhar Cohen is an Israeli singer who won the 1978 Eurovision Song
Contest performing the Israeli song "A-Ba-Ni-Bi"
This month in History: April

3. Dish of the month:
INGREDIENTS
Servings: 18 burekas
2 sheets puff pastry (you can also use filo dough
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup grated kashkaval cheese (or substitute another
1/3 cup feta)
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
Salt and pepper
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp sesame or poppy seeds for topping (optional)
Nonstick cooking oil spray
2 large baking sheets, rolling pin, 2 small mixing bowls

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine feta,
kashkaval, ricotta, egg, a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Use a fork to mix ingredients together till well blended. Make sure
to break up any large crumbles of feta with the fork. Reserve
mixture.
On a smooth, clean, lightly floured surface, unfold one of your puff
pastry sheets. Use a rolling pin to roll out the sheet to a 12x12 inch
square. If using homemade puff pastry, roll your dough out to the
same size - a 12”x12” square. Cut the sheet of puff pastry dough
into 9 equal-sized squares, each about 4”x4” large.
Place 1 scant tablespoon of the cheese filling in the center of each
dough square.
Fold the dough squares by grasping one corner and folding it over to
the opposite corner to make triangles. Pinch firmly along the outer
open edge of the triangles to seal. If you're having trouble sealing
the dough and getting it to stick together, wet your finger with a
bit of water and run it around the edge of the square before
folding-- this will help it stick together.
Repeat this process for the second sheet of puff pastry—roll out
the pastry, cut into squares, add filling, and seal the triangles.
Spray your baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line with
parchment paper. Place 9 burekas on each sheet, evenly spaced,
giving them some room to expand during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 2 tsp of cool water.
Use a pastry brush to brush a light layer of the egg wash onto the
surface of each burekas.
Sprinkle the burekas with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.
bake the burekas for about 30 minutes, switching the baking sheets
between the upper and lower racks halfway through cooking. Bake
till golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm!!
