Read Article 2) Posted Nov 02 2011 Daily Deals Provide Some Serious Steals By Sandy Eller The world of shopping changed forever three years ago with the launch of Groupon, a website that negotiates discounts with popular local and national businesses and passes the savings along to the consumer via a discounted daily deal emailed directly to members. For the kosher consumer, the savings became even more appealing with the launch of discount deal websites aimed squarely at the Jewish market, such as Jewpon, jdeal and Kosher Kouponz. Read Article 3) Posted Nov 02 2011 Whose Simcha Is It Really? By Tamar Ansh Everyone loves a wedding. Really what is there not to love? You gather together with family and friends, all dressed up in your nicest clothing and jewelry, are treated to a sumptuous meal, and then get to enjoy wonderful music and even some dancing. And dancing at a wedding is unique in its own right - women of all backgrounds, at every stage of life, twirling and clapping all for one person - the kallah. What could be nicer? Read Article 4) Posted Nov 02 2011 Easy Weeknight Dinners - Grown-Up Grub The Whole Family Can Enjoy! By Nina Safar Now that my son has graduated from mashed entrées of sweet potatoes and carrots to grown-up grub, it's back in the kitch for me! Farewell to the days of slacking off by serving frozen pizza and cold cut sandwiches for dinner. I may be a foodie; however, after a long day of juggling work and taking care of my son, a mom needs a break! Since take out and frozen dinners no longer make the cut, I have been on the hunt for easy weekday meals that taste great and are quick to whip up. Below are some of my fave dishes to serve for supper that guarantee no leftovers. Read Article 5) Posted Nov 02 2011 Tasting the "Heat" of the Torah By David Gruber As a Baal Teshuva who discovered the "emes" about eight years ago, I am often asked by my FFB friends in my very FFB neighborhood to describe what inspired my wife and I to take the plunge and more specifically, what it feels like to lead a Torah observant life after so many years of living on the "other side." Read Article 6) Posted Oct 26 2011 Reflections From A Yachad Parent "Hi Tammy. It's Penina. It was so nice meeting you and spending Shabbos with you guys last week. It was such an amazing weekend. I wish we were going back on the shabbaton this coming Shabbos!" This was the message I received on my answering machine the Friday after the Yachad Family Shabbaton. It was from one of the friends I had made over the weekend, a mother of a special-needs child, just like myself. When I heard this message, it put a smile on my face. It also made me want to go on another shabbaton. Read Article 7) Posted Oct 26 2011 The Cure Is In The Pot By Helen Zegerman Schwimmer Levana Kirschenbaum, restaurateur, master chef, cooking teacher and author, has just published the ultimate cookbook, The Whole Foods Kosher Kitchen: Glorious Meals Pure and Simple. This is her magnum opus, a book that takes kosher cooking to a whole new level; with everything we ever needed to know about preparing healthy cuisine from soup to nuts. Read Article 8) Posted Oct 18 2011 The Shaul Family - Formerly Moshav Gan Or; Now Nitzan Caravilla Site The family: Susie & Mike Shaul and four sons: Shmuly, Yoni, Yishai & Dov. Read Article 9) Posted Oct 18 2011 The Post-Kevorkian Era By Barbara A. Olevitch, Ph.D. Jack Kevorkian, who helped over 130 people to commit suicide, died on June 3, 2011. The suicide contraptions that made him famous also enabled him to evade prosecution - as long as it was the victim who actually pushed the button. For example, he inserted an intravenous line containing a harmless saline solution into Janet Adkins, his first victim. However, when she pushed the button, a lethal combination of drugs was injected into her instead of the saline. Kevorkian's idea of facilitating death without actively bringing it about is still very much alive today. Read Article 10) Posted Oct 16 2011 Sukkos Gelt By Mordechai Schmutter The following article is an excerpt from Mordechai's book, This Side Up, now in book stores. Read Article 11) Posted Oct 05 2011 Rosh Hashanah Sacrifice (a true story) By Yehudis Feldman You've never met anyone like my co-worker Rahel, who is from Yemen. A sweet, petite grandmother with lively eyes, she catches on quickly, has a phenomenal memory, and knows everything about Hebrew. Any time I have a question about a word in the Hebrew language, she gives me the answer right away and can even tell me whether what I'm talking about is real Hebrew or slang. Read Article 12) Posted Sep 27 2011 An Interview With Supermom By Chavi Ehrentreu I was walking past a bookstore when a cover in the window stopped me in my tracks. Who took a picture of my life? The toddler standing on a pile of wash, the laptop, the outstretched arm ready to grab the phone What IS this? Read Article 13) Posted Sep 21 2011 Each One Under His Olive Tree By Rosally Saltsman The early pioneers of Israel sought to rebuild the land and transform the desert into an idyllic paradise that resembled the Garden of Eden. Anyone who has visited Israel can attest to the fact that they were successful beyond their wildest dreams and the technological advances of agriculture developed in Israel has benefited agriculture worldwide. Read Article 14) Posted Sep 07 2011 4 Generations Of Dreams By Lois Greene Stone What did you wish for, Grandma? I talked to the sepia print, remembering green eyes that black and white film could not capture. I can almost smell brown spice cake cooling on an oil-cloth-covered table. Boxed wooden matches were too high up for me to reach, but you needed them to light the stove. Read Article 15) Posted Sep 07 2011 Let The Meal Preparations Begin! By Sandy Eller In case you aren't aware of it, this year we are faced with three-day yomim tovim, three of them to be exact. That's right; Rosh Hashanna, Succos and Shemini Atzeres/Simchas Torah fall out on Thursday and Friday, which when coupled with Shabbos is wonderful but more than a little intimidating. Read Article 16) Posted Aug 31 2011 The Good And The Bad By Naomi Klass Mauer I had an experience recently that was at once enjoyable and very aggravating. I am not usually given to such conflicting emotions, so I will explain. Read Article 17) Posted Aug 31 2011 L'dor Vador By Helen Zegerman Schwimmer Almost thirty years ago my three little children posed on the front steps of our home for an iconic photo that sits prominently displayed on my mantle. Recently, they recreated the scene with one major variation: On their laps my children now held children of their own. Read Article 18) Posted Aug 24 2011 Yossi and Sara Layah Shomron: Formerly Of Neve Dekalim, Now Nitzan The family: Parents Yossi and Sara Layah, and their 7 children: Trtza, Shifra, Baruch, Ehud, Meir, Tziona and Nechama. Read Article 19) Posted Aug 17 2011 Israel Bound! By Sandy Eller Sending a child off to Israel for a year is a pretty monumental event. There are countless details to take care of before they leave but like most things in life, if you do your research and plan in advance, you can avoid unpleasant surprises - and save some money to boot. Read Article 20) Posted Aug 17 2011 The Little Bean Plant By Shayna Hunt I grew up in a family of gardeners. My parents loved to grow things. Our backyard boasted impressive landscaping filled with velvety colors of the rainbow and the most delicious vegetables and fruit imaginable. My grandfather was an award-winning gardener who met the mayor of Chicago when he was presented with an award for The Most Beautiful Yard in the City, three years in a row. My fondest childhood memories are of my grandpa in his magical garden cutting flowers to make me a bouquet all my own. Read Article 353 Archived Articles Found in Special Features Next 20 Articles >
