This spice blend brings the native flavors of the Judean hills straight into your kitchen. Inspired by the ancient herbs and seasonings of the region, Miriam’s Rub combines garlic, salt, and a selection of hand foraged herbs and spices that add warmth and depth to every dish. The blend takes its name from Miriam the Prophetess, the sister of Moses, whose leadership and strength guided the Israelites through the wilderness. Her story is woven into the history of Jewish cooking, where simple, natural ingredients were used to nourish and sustain the Jewish people.

The rub works beautifully with meats, chicken, roasted vegetables, soups, and stews. The combination of herbs and spices recalls the flavors used in ancient kitchens, like those mentioned in Exodus 16:23: “Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil.” These words remind us of the importance of preparing food with intention and tradition, just as it has been done for millenia.

Yehuda Miller, the expert behind this blend, lives with his family in the Gush Etzion settlement of Bat Ayin. His deep love of cooking and knowledge of the native plants of Judea led him to create a seasoning that reflects the land’s rich history. Each jar is filled with spices that have grown in the Holy Land for generations, connecting the past with the present.
