Children, Israel, Food, Torah – things I love and talk about often!

  • Blood and Tears

    There is really nothing to say today – only cry. Cry out of pain, out of anger, and out of helplessness of normalcy in relation to terror and murder. Today, when the news broke about the brutal murder of an innocent 13-year-old Israeli girl sleeping soundly in her bed by a 17-year-old Arab attacker, all I…

  • Let’s Help my Shul!

    Dear reader, This is not a food post. I am trying to spread the word about the fundraising campaign for my synagogue. Please go to this link, see the video for yourself, and find it in your heart to donate a few dollars. This is really a unique congregation. Be a part of this mitzvah!…

  • Improvise!

    It looks like summer is, finally, here. And with it the abundance of fruit and vegetables that really have a taste, as opposed to those that we have in winter – beautiful, but tasteless. That, of course, means that it’s time for salad. In my house, a housewife (me) never knows what she is going…

  • This is not the Shavuot I love

    Shavuot is my favorite  Holiday for many reasons. I believe that this is a special Holiday as it clearly marks the Jewish nation as the one designated to live in a specific way – to be a “light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:1). This is no small task, the responsibility both brings you up and…

  • Halloumi!

    On those rare occasions that I work from home and find time to make lunch for myself, I consider myself lucky. I feel double lucky today, as for the first time my husband found a kosher halloumi cheese! When I am in Israel, I make it a point to eat salads with halloumi. However, here in…

  • Michael Solomonov

    Some time ago I heard Michael Solomonov’s TED talk  and felt some kind of a connection to him. Was is tragedy or food? In any case, when I saw an invitation from the Jewish Book Council for their “Unpacking the Books” event with three chefs, I, of course, couldn’t pass it by. The event, featuring Chef Rossi, Michael…

  • Easy Pesach?

    This Pesach I really do not have time for cooking. Also, I constantly forget to kasher/buy utensils that I might need. So I need to improvise. Since I had different kinds of vegetables, thanks to my food-shopping-loving husband, I decided to use all of them in one pot. And, what’s better than roasted vegetables during…

  • Matzah Brei

    Why is it that no matter how late the Holiday is coming in the year, it always hits me suddenly?  Cleaning for Pesach? I am sure many of you are half done. I am only half started.  I am totally impressed by some of the ladies out there that are so organized that they manage…

  • Shabbat in a Rush

    Due to unforeseen circumstances that I do not wish for anyone, I really had no time to cook for last Shabbat. But Shabbat comes every week, right? So, I decided to just throw the stuff that I already had in one pot and be done with it. OK, it turned out to be two dishes,…

  • From Home to Home with Food to Dream About

    It has been just a few days since I have returned from Israel, but my heart is yearning for it again. So, this post will just show the eateries and foods of Israel that I love. These amazing breads we just stumbled upon at the Old Train Station in Tel-Aviv. We tried these beauties, and…
