Sharing our Stories Through Food: Sukkot Special
Here are a few special succot recipes to enhance your chag! These are perfect dishes to serve as fall starts to come in and we take advantage of the seasonal delicacies. Enjoy!
Changing The Landscape
We are in the midst of preparing for the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur. From Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, known as the 10 Days of Repentance, we are intensely engaged in rectifying our deeds and this process will culminate on Yom Kippur, especially the last service, Neilah.
The Dance
One day, a young man asks a girl to go to a dance. She agrees, and he decides to rent a suit.
The rental has a long line, so he waits and waits, and finally he gets his suit.
Then, the young man decides to buy flowers, so he goes to the flower shop. The flower shop has a long line, so he waits and waits, until he finally buys flowers.
Sharing our Stories Through Food: Potato Leek Soup
As we finish Rosh Hashasha, I get to thinking about succos and one of my favorite things. I love sitting in the chill autumn air, with the family, in a beautifully decorated sukkah. Every year my mother would make this delicious potato leek soup and it was the perfect thing to warm us up on the chilly nights. I loved it so much that it was the soup I requested to have on my Bat Mitzvah. However, due to it being spring and us being inside, it was not the same. This soup will never taste as good as it does when we are all enjoying it together in the sukkah.
Tashlich in 2023
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, starts this evening. Unlike January 1st, which is filled with merrymaking and parties, Rosh Hashanah is a time for introspection, and purifying one’s soul, In conjunction with this is the custom of Tashlich, where people take crumbs and throw them into a river or other body of water to symbolize throwing away one’s sins and starting the new year fresh.
However, times have changed…
The Day We Didn’t Blow
Certainly, one of the highlights of Rosh Hashanah is blowing the shofar. We are familiar with the 100 blasts that must be made in a specific way and everyone is always present for this event. And if someone can’t come to shul then arrangements are made so that they will hear the shofar. However, this year we won’t hear the shofar on the first day, Shabbos because the Sages were concerned that perhaps the shofar might be carried and that would be a desecration of Shabbos.
