Football Season
Posted by on 1/23/2020 to
With just a couple of weeks to go until the Super Bowl, fans are starting to root for their teams. While I am not a fan, I am a "football widow". My husband will be glued to the TV when the big day comes.
For those who want to get a head start on preparations for their tailgate party, check out our football snacks and treats.
Looking forward to an exciting Half Time and commercials!

Yeshiva Week
Posted by on 1/17/2020 to
Many Jewish Orthodox schools have changed their winter vacation schedules from the mainstream X-mas to New Year time to a week in mid to late January.This updated vacation time allows families to avoid the non-Jewish holiday crush and remind their children of their Jewish heritage. It also makes vacation travel slightly easier; avoiding the huge masses of holiday travel at the end of the year. I am ambivalent about this new change. While I agree that we should not be celebrating non-Jewish holidays, unfortunately, for working Jewish parents, it is harder to schedule child care while they are still working during the holidays. Those extra paid days off at the end of the year seem to be lost too. The parents are off while the kids are in school! T
I would love to hear what parents think about this new school calendar issue. By the way, my kids are all grown so its not an issue for me!
Making Aliyah

For so many of us, the dream of living in Israel can be achieved. Aliyah from America is growing every year. With the current unrest in Europe, the numbers of people leaving their native countries and making new lives in Israel is exploding. And who does not have relatives living in Israel?

It is the next best thing to being there! Order your kosher Israeli gift baskets here and have them delivered there! No need to ship overseas!!

Welcome 2020
Posted by on 1/1/2020 to
In the papers today everyone is commenting on 2020, having hindsight into what has already occurred. I prefer to look towards the future and what this new year will have in store for us.
As an Orthodox jew, I hope that the new year will bring safety, security and an end to the hate and antisemitism that has grown rampant recently. It is terrifying to read and watch the news with multiple stories of Jews being assaulted. beaten and murdered all over the world. It especially difficult to see these events occurring here in the United States, the country our parents and grandparents believed in so strongly and the place that has given us refuge.
Let us hope that this new year will bring a resounding refusal to allow this kind of racism and hatred to infect our great country.
