  • Charoset – the Best of Pesach

    I have almost stopped writing here. My personal stories of pain, thankfully, came to an end and my life became a 1000-fold better with one thing that, I believe, everyone needs in life – Love. Yes, Love with a capital L. This is such a small, easy word to pronounce, but underneath lies a myriad…

  • “Глядя на звезды мне всегда хочется мечтать…” или мой Ван Гог в Герцлии

    Originally posted on "Multi-Focal" СТраницы Лины Городецкой: „Говорить за нас должны наши полотна. Мы создали их, и они существуют, и это самое главное.“ Так однажды написал Винсент Ван Гог… Главная правда творчества в этих словах… Он прожил всего тридцать семь лет.  Ушел непризнанным, чтобы стать великим после, спустя годы после трагической гибели… Согласно оценкам с…

  • Cookbooks and Jewish History

    Dear readers,   I just could not keep this and not share with you. My apologies if you saw this article somewhere else, but I think it is just such a testimony to Jewish endurance. I am certainly planning to buy this book now. Meanwhile, I got two more amazing cookbooks from my girls for…

  • Hanukkah, Cooking, Baking, Kitchen & Life Struggles

    This time I just want to share some culinary-related news: This article talks about the struggles and cooking as the way to overcome one’s challenges. A very close to heart concept for me.

  • Cranberries – What’s Not to Love?

    Although I don’t eat turkey, during this time of the year I always make lots of cranberry-apple sauce. This can be done for Sukkot, for Thanksgiving, or just because – the sauce is so good that can be eaten with any meat as a condiment, or as a not-too-sweet dessert, if you are like me.…

  • Fun Food and Israel Related Articles

    It is no surprise that Israeli chefs are on the forefront of all things new. Why should food be an exemption? There have been a number of articles lately about innovative ways Israelis think about food using words like “vegan, ecological, and locavore”. New-old plants are appearing on the restaurants’ tables straight from the biblical times. …

  • Anticipating

    I am not sure when I am going to publish this. However, I am writing it almost three weeks to the date when my life will drastically change. Change for the best, please, Gd! It’s been ten months since הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא let a certain amazing man find me among all the other women in…

  • Light and Easy for a Hot Shabbat

    What can you prepare for Shabbat if you absolutely do not want to leave a blech or a crock-pot on in your desire to not add any additional heat to already overheated apartment? Salmon, turns out to be that fish that can easily be eaten cold with pretty-much any sauce. So, I decided to make…

  • More Articles About Food!

    An interesting article caught my attention – obviously, food related. Apparently, there’s a new book all about hummus! Naturally, I was also intrigued by this intro: “Traveling the streets and alleyways of nine Middle Eastern hummus hubs, from Cairo all the way to Damascus via Gaza, Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Nazareth, Jerusalem, Acre, and Beirut, we…
