Bake 3 1/2 to 4 hours, basting every hour with accumulated juices. Remove brisket and tomato mixture to a platter. Degrease pan juices and pour over meat. Refrigerate overnight for easy slicing. Slice and reheat with tomato mixture and pan juices and serve. Serves 8
This is a hearty and delicious, make-ahead feast-in-a-pot and a wonderfully warming focal point for the Sabbath meal.
