There was no time this week for me to develop a new recipe, but I served oatmeal-raisin-chocolate chip cookies at parsha class yesterday, and the women loved them, and wanted to know where the recipe was from! From my site, of course :) So, for those...
In this week’s parsha, Parshas Terumah, we are commanded regarding the construction of the Mishkan, the portable Sanctuary that would serve as the resting place for the Shechina, keviyachol. After the people left Egypt and received the Torah, they were to build the Mishkan (Tabernacle): וְעָשׂוּ...
This is a delicious soup that celebrates the produce of fall/winter. It’s really easy to prepare and warming on a cold winter night (or afternoon!). I try to always have soup in the fridge, as it’s a great and healthy filler between lunch and...

In this week’s parsha, Parshas Yisro, the purpose of Yetzias Mitzrayim (the Exodus from Egypt) comes to fruition. When Hashem promised Moshe the people would be physically freed from the Egyptian bondage, He further promised that redemption would not end with physical freedom. וְלָקַחְתִּ֨י אֶתְכֶ֥ם...
As many people are away this week (not me, but many others!), I thought a new recipe might get lost amidst the travels :) Hence, for those of us at home, facing the freezing cold… there’s no better time to bake homemade muffins. And when they...
In this week’s parsha, Parshas Beshalach, the Bnei Yisrael miraculously cross the Reed Sea on damp land, witness the Egyptians drowning in the sea waters behind them, sing songs of praise and thanks to G-d for the salvation He wrought, receive manna for the first...
