Video: 12-year-old chef bakes pretzels in Yiddish

Sender Glasser, a seventh grader in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, who speaks Yiddish, Polish and English fluently, has put together a tutorial in Yiddish on how to make delicious, fluffy pretzels. The video is produced by the Forverts.

Glasser is the son of Yiddish linguist and Forverts contributor Hershl Glasser and Polish-born Yiddishist Gosha Zaremba. He likes playing and watching soccer, playing trombone, biking, and, of course, cooking.

Pretzels, which were most likely invented in northern Italy in the medieval period, became popular in Germany, Austria and the German-speaking part of Switzerland as symbols of good luck. The recipe for the baked pastry came to the United States in the 18th century, thanks to Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants.
