Making the seder fun for kids

The Passover seder(s) are a very special time. It is where we remember the miracles Hashem did for us when he took us out of Egypt, and when we pass down the knowledge to our kids. This is a major memory making event for us! What kind of memories do you want the kids to …

Passover 2013 menu

This Passover, we are outside a big frum community – and outside our home country. We don’t have guests coming on Yom Tov, although there will likely be some other folks joining us for another meal or two. I ordered some Pesach food from the US, and some I’m making from scratch. We have only …

Passover spending – the food edition

Passover is an expensive time of year. Even if you try to stay on your regular food budget (hard, but some people do!), the other spending can really add up. What other spending? New clothes for kids New jewelry / clothes / scarves / etc. for wives (maybe husbands, too, but wives are a mitzva!) …

Onward! (A month until Passover)

  I hope everyone had an awesome Purim. We had a fever and tummy bug with my 3 year old, which made things more tricky, but we muddled through. Everyone had fun, we got to hear the megilla, the kids lightsaber-fought each other all day with no casualties, and it was just a fun day. …

We’re most of the way through Passover now, and retailers know that. They are starting to mark down Passover food and items like seder plates.

Passover meals to go

On Passover, more than ever, we have to bring our food with us when we go out – and so many are going out over chol hamoed (the middle days of Passover)! But we’re more limited in what we can bring than normal, too. And anything prepackaged is REALLY expensive (if you can even find …
