Tidbits savory with garlic and vinegar or satiny with schmaltz may pique the appetite, but for many Jews, no real meal begins without soup. So for much of the calendar, stocks simmer on the stove for hours, and out of the oniony fog come golden chicken soup, earthy mushroom and barley, tangy borscht--brought to the table steaming hot.

If lox and cream cheese is Yiddish cuisine's answer to ham and eggs, isn't honey cake, lekach, its fruitcake avatar? Each is linked to a major religious holiday (honey cake at Rosh Hashanah, fruitcake at Christmas), and frequently given as gifts at those times.

A day-ticket (starting from 0:00 am to 3.00 am of the following day) for the farezone AB (this is the city-region of Berlin) is 6,30 Euro.

You'll find a tourist-ticket for 48 hours (Berlin CityTourCard AB 16,90 or a tourist-ticket for 72 hours Berlin CityTourCard AB 22,90) as well. These are valid for 48h or 72 h starting from that moment where they are clocked in.  You'll find more information on public transportation on the english website: http://www.bvg.de/index.php/en/index.html
