# [This Week's Nosh: Chocolate Chip Cheesecake](https://blog.jewishphilly.org/this-weeks-nosh-chocolate-chip-cheesecake)

The traditional meal for Shavuot, [when we celebrate having received the Torah](https://jfed.demo.cshp.co/jewish-gems-the-torah/), involves eating lots of dairy. Some say it’s because the Israelites at Sinai were innocent as newborns and were nourished by Torah just as milk nourishes babies. Some say eating a dairy meal is a tribute to the phrase “the land of milk and honey.”

Whatever the reason, revel in this mouth-watering cheesecake recipe from Abington-born celebrity kosher chef Jamie Geller, publisher of JOYofKOSHER.com. For the recipe, [click here](https://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-cheesecake/). *B’te-avon* (bon appétit)!
