TWO SEDERS IN ISRAEL??

Posted on February 1, 2007

Here is a most interesting story from this week’s Kosher Today on line edition. It concerns having two seders in Eilat and Turkey. We are not sure why the rabbi brought up Turkey (it would seem to be in the category of “duh”), but his view on Eilat is on target halachically. Rabbi Elyashiv Rules Continue Reading »

SUKKOT

Posted on October 6, 2006

Sukkot has long been one of our favorite holidays. We love sitting in the sukkah and gazing up at the stars in the sky at night or at the sun filled sky during the day. Some how a cup of tea always tastes better in the sukkah. Sitting in the sukkah always gives us a Continue Reading »

Honey- as in dip your challah in the honey, dip your apple in the honey and put some honey into your tea! Continue Reading »

WHEN THE PRICES GO UP UP UP,AND THE VALUES GO DOWN DOWN DOWN…

Posted on August 8, 2006

Tisha B’Av came and went in a blaze of incredible heat throughout much of the USA. Temperatures soared for days and 9 Av was no exception. Finally, this past shabbat (and not a moment too soon, btw) the heat wave broke. Although it is still quite hot, it is nowhere near as hot nor as Continue Reading »

COCA COLA THE WAY IT USED TO BE

Posted on May 3, 2006

This week’s edition of Kosher Today had a nice article about Coke made with sugar. Seems people have caught on to the greatest secret of the Twentyfirst Century or something…….. But, before we comment, read the story in Kosher Today: (New York) “You Don’t Have to Be Jewish to Love Passover Coca Cola.” Mercury News Continue Reading »

SUMMING UP
