I created this recipe over Pesach and have been making it very regularly since. It’s a real keeper and a wonderful alternative to the usual calorie-heavy and carb-laden kugels that we often serve. It’s super easy to make, the kids love it too, and you...
In this week’s parsha, Parshas Shelach, we are instructed regarding the mitzvah of tzitzis: And Hashem spoke to Moshe saying: דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם, וְעָשׂוּ לָהֶם צִיצִת עַל-כַּנְפֵי בִגְדֵיהֶם, לְדֹרֹתָם; וְנָתְנוּ עַל-צִיצִת הַכָּנָף, פְּתִיל תְּכֵלֶת, speak to the Children of Israel, and say to...
Finding myself with too many tomatoes a few weeks ago, inspired by my sister-in-law (who also had too many tomatoes!), I wanted to make a tomato dip. I asked a few people for their recipes, but everyone replied with mostly the same answer, “A little...
This week’s parsha, Parshas Beha’aloscha, begins with the command to Aharon regarding the kindling of the lamps in the Mishkan (Tabernacle). And Hashem spoke to Moshe saying: בְּהַעֲלֹתְךָ, אֶת-הַנֵּרֹת, אֶל-מוּל פְּנֵי הַמְּנוֹרָה, יָאִירוּ שִׁבְעַת הַנֵּרוֹת, Speak to Aharon and say to him: When you kindle...
With all the recent goings-on over the past few months, it’s been difficult for me to find the time to type up and post new recipes… I made these chicken burgers for dinner Monday night and everyone loved them! It’s definitely a success when the...
Parshas Naso. Birkas Kohanim. The ancient words of Priestly Blessings resonate strongly still today. May G-d bless you and guard you; May He shine the light of His countenance upon you and endow you with grace; May Hashem lift His countenance to you, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ...
As we finish our count of Sefiras Ha’Omer, the seven-week journey from Pesach to Shavuos, we find ourselves poised to receive the Torah once again. The Torah reading for Shavuos begins in Parshas Yisro: בַּחֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י לְצֵ֥את בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם בַּיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה בָּ֖אוּ מִדְבַּ֥ר סִינָֽי...

This week’s parsha, Parshas Bamidbar, is always read the Shabbos before Shavuos. Many reasons have been given to explain the connection between Bamidbar and Shavuos. R’ Dr. Abraham J. Twerski writes, “The first portion of Bamidbar is generally read before Shavuos, the holiday which commemorates the...
