Thanksgiving Tradition

by

B”H Those of us who live in the United States are probably in Thanksgiving mode right now, whether we celebrate Thanksgiving with the turkey feast, or not. Honestly, it is nice to see the world around us celebrating, and hopefully embracing, an attitude that can helps us all so much in our daily lives and in our emotional states: gratitude!

7 Year Old Girl’s Birthday Party

B”H Last week I shared with you that we celebrated my daughter’s Hebrew Birthday. Today, I’ll show you pictures of this 7 year old girl birthday and tell you a little bit about how I achieved the look for her.

Practical Reminder

by

B”H I recently had the opportunity to hear Mrs. Vivi Deren speak in Houston and one of the things that resonated with me the most, was this practical reminder: “You can’t always feel good, but you can always DO good.” Chassidut teaches us that we have little or no control over the seven emotional attributes of our soul (Only Tzadikim do). What we do have control over, however, are what

No Fail Challah

by

  B”H Are you wondering why I’m talking about Challah on a Monday morning? “We’re just starting the week!” you say.  Well, if I give you this recipe today, you will not have an excuse not to have baked this by Friday night. :-) Go shopping for your ingredients now, because this Challah is no fail, totally fool proof.  If you ever wanted to do the mitzvah of Challah, but it seemed

Tantrum with G-d || Rabieta con Di-s

by

B”H Having four kids, k”h, I’m no stranger to temper tantrums- those of my kids, I mean. I’ve had my share of two year old (and older kids) kick and scream in frustration on my kitchen floor. The kid is angry; no doubt. Somehow, I can keep preparing dinner while looking objectively at the situation escalating right by my feet. I can think to myself, “I know you’re angry because

    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.
