Call it the miracle of the cholent pot. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, carnivorous, or celiac, whether you’re Sephardic, yekkish, or chassidish, there’s always plenty of cholent to go around. Join the Sisters for some Shabbos Schmoozing

Cholent like snowflakes? Well yes. Because like snowflakes no two cholents are exactly alike. Call it the miracle of the cholent pot.
