B”H Some pink fashion to inspire your winter days… Because everything is so much prettier in pink! Plus, we have the winter blues around here with an ongoing cold that does not leave our household. Pink is making me so happy right now. And hey, Adar is coming, so we have to be…. HAPPY! (Remember this post from 2015?) Now, I couldn’t just be showing you this, without talking about the
B”H Recently, I was working on something inspiring to say during candle lighting at a Shabbaton that I will be leading in St. Louis and I came across a super cool story that happened at the turn of the millennium and that somehow I had not heard before (most likely because I was not lighting Shabbat candles regularly at the time). But, as you might know from this post, Shabbat candle
B”H Chodesh Tov, everyone! You know I wished it was Rosh Hashanah, so I could talk about this dress, but hey it’s only Shvat, which means it’s almost Tu B’Shvat, so let’s run with that! After all, who needs to wait till Rosh Hashanah to wear this cute Pomegranate Dress!? Pomegranates are one of the seven species of the Land of Israel, right? You heard about it here first: The Pomegranate
B”H The Zara Home Sale… what can I say… Ad Infinitum! There is so much to choose from and all so pretty. Not nearly as affordable as their clothing sale, yes, but I have to say, when it comes to linens Zara has excellent quality. Here are some of my picks from the Zara Home Sale. I also want to highlight these as some of my favorites on the table
B”H The Zara Sale – The moment you’ve all been waiting for! Well, not really. At least I hope not! (Don’t know about you, but I’m waiting for Moshiach.) In the mean time, in case you want to get something special for the momentous occasion, indeed the Zara winter sale is on! Ok fine, I’ll stop already. But there are some really good tzniut picks, as well as a huge
B”H As we wrapped up the Hanukkah Holiday, I was thinking of Jewish education – not our children’s but ours. As I’ve mentioned before Hanukkah (Chanukah) is connected to the word chinuch, education in Hebrew. I often hear women sigh in dismay at the level of Jewish education they’ve managed to provide their kids via a Sunday School/Hebrew School program, AND then sigh at their own level of education. They wished
B”H This was the topic of my talk custom made for the ladies in Aventura Florida. But, really I think it was custom made for me! (I’ll tell you why in a minute) I was sent there as the first speaker of an initiative spearheaded among four Chabad houses in the area, called Project Connect. Project Connect will span over four months. This month’s event was hosted by Chabad of
B”H Hanukkah brings out the crazy in our people… Let me tell you how I explained it for my column on The Jewish Herald Voice’s December 15, 2016 edition. Rosh Hashanah: food; Sukkot: food; Tu B’Shevat: food; Purim: food; Passover: food. Wait, what happened to Chanukah!? Sorry to disappoint you, but while eating latkes and donuts is a nice custom, there’s no mitzvah to eat on Chanukah. The mitzvah of
B”H Welcome to another episode of Wednesday Wink ladies! What is cooler than a friend who sees Hashgacha Pratit (Divine Providence) in her life all the time? A friend who takes the message and does something amazing with it – using her talents to serve G-d in this world! Today’s Wednesday Wink is from my friend, now published author, Rivka Fishman. I vividly remember her sharing this incident with me
B”H Hanukkah Menorahs seem to be one of those Judaica items that we can’t have enough of. They are so pretty to display and it’s so beautiful to have one for each member of your family. And they make great gifts! In case you’re still in the market for a Hanukkah Menorah (or a few) here’s a roundup of some of my favorites kosher Hanukkah Menorahs in the market. And
