Five Passover Sanity Savers || Cosas que me salvan la cordura en Pesaj

by Leave a Comment

B”H Hello, everyone! How is Pesach going? It’s the second day of Chol Hamoed Pesach (intermediate days), so I wanted to share five small things that save my sanity on this busy holiday. Our family’s Pesach custom is to not use processed foods on Passover, so pretty much everything is home made. In addition, it’s all made with vegetables that can be peeled. The food is actually super delicious, but preparation is

Passover Centerpiece

by 2 Comments

B”H I’m all about done so I want to show you quickly the Passover Centerpiece on our table. Everyone has showered and we are pretending to rest. Hopefully naps will happen very soon. It will be a long night tonight and a most important part of tonight is to engage the children. That’s why we do all those different things during the Seder. The entire Seder is framed around this

B”H It’s two days before our beloved Menachem’s upshernish – third birthday and haircutting ceremony- and it’s Erev Shabbat. So it’s quite busy around here. (Oh and the kids finished school at 12 pm today! ) An upshernish five days before Pesach is somewhat of a challenge. I decided to make a small(ish) event in our back yard, so no-chametz on this birthday. No cookies, or cakes but no worries,

Spring Holiday Fashion || Ajuares primaverales para la fiesta

by Leave a Comment

B”H Shavua Tov my friends! The month of Nissan has arrived! Did you know that the month of Nissan always falls in the Spring season (in the Land of Israel) because the Jewish calendar is adjusted in a super cool mathematical way, so that it should be that way? (More on calendar in my post here.) So, even if some of us are not feeling the Spring weather, apparently Spring is

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
