B”H We’re about to begin a new year according to the Gregorian calendar that most of us go by and I just found the perfect agenda for the coming year that has me super excited (Found it at Marshall’s, of course). I’m a pretty organized person, (my family would say “extremely”) but I can always be more organized and one of the “systems” in my life which needs much improvement
B”H We surely need a beautiful space to put our collection of Jewish books, right? Jewish books are in and of themselves beautiful obviously, so why not choose to display them in a space that suits them. Necesitamos un espacio hermoso en el cual exhibir nuestra colección de libros judíos, ¿cierto? Los Seforim (libros judíos sagrados) son obviamente hermosos por si mismos, así que por que no exhibirlos en un
B”H I’ve been asked often for recommendations on starting a Jewish library. People tell me that they are avid readers and have mastered many topics, but have neglected their Jewish literacy and would like to know where to start reading and delving into Jewish wisdom. I always refer them to this list, although there surely are plenty of other books, and I will try to bring you more specific guides arranged by topics
B”H We have a healthy obsession with books in our family. Yesterday was the first day of winter break and what was the first spot we visited? The Library of course! You won’t hear me complain. :-) Tenemos una sana obsesión con libros en esta familia. Ayer fue el primer día de las vacaciones de invierno de los chicos y lo primero que hicimos fue… ¡ir a la biblioteca, por supuesto! ¡No
B”H Hi everyone! I hope you’re all having a meaningful and beautiful Chanukah! Last time, I spoke about olive oil on a physical level- sharing with you a neat cookie recipe using olive oil and a beautiful way to package it. Today, I wanted to dig deeper on this concept of olive oil. Why do we celebrate the miracle of oil, specifically? What is the significance of the oil? ¡Hola a
B”H Happy third day of Hannukah! Today, I want to share with you such a fun and tasty Hannukah treat. It’s a Hannukah Chocolate Chip Cookie! What makes it a special Hannukah cookie? It’s made with olive oil! How perfect, right!? ¡Féliz Jánuca! Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes una receta para Jánuca super divertida y deliciosa. Es una galleta de chips de chocolate para Jánuca. ¿Y qué la hace una
B”H Happy Chanukah everyone! I’m sorry for the radio silence around here, but I’ve been sick since Friday and B”H I’m finally starting to feel a bit better. I will try to get to the Chanukah posts that I had planned asap, but in the mean time, I’m interrupting Chanukah programing to share with you one of the projects that I worked on during the past few weeks. I had the
B”H Did you ever wonder, why the Jewish fascination with fire? Fire is very much present in our lives as Jewish women. Each week we welcome in and escort out the Day of Rest with fire. We do the same each Holiday. Many light candles during weddings and during Brit Milas. We also light a candle during the days of Shiva and on the yortzeit of our beloved who passed. And of course, in a
B”H Today I’m sharing with you one of my two Hannukah food secrets: I do not like doughnuts (sufganiyot). So in years past I just stayed away from them, but then last year I had this idea which changed everything: Sufganiyot filled with Dulce de Leche! Not only do I prefer them over jelly-filled sufganiyot, but the dough is less sweet (I do NOT like sweets! it’s odd I know) and
B”H Happy Monday morning, everyone! You all know we’re all about beautifying mitzvoth and/or revealing the beauty inherent in them, here at Jewish Latin Princess. Thus, with that in mind and to get us in the spirit of the upcoming holiday of Chanukah, I present to you this round up of beautiful kosher menorahs (chanukiot). Just imagine having any one of these beauties illuminating your home! Kosher, you ask!?
