Every year, we put on a “holiday” party for dh’s work colleagues. I do latkes, falafel, apple cider, and a cookie bar for about 50 people. I typed this up for myself, and realized that perhaps some of you can put this to good use, too! Here’s the breakdown (see grocery list, too): Menu: Potato …

It all started for me with parshat Vayetzei. In this parsha, Yaakov sleeps in the place that will become the Beit haMikdash, and upon waking, exclaims, “…surely God is in this place and I did not know it…. How awesome is this place. This is none other than God’s House, and this is the Gateway …

I have some ideas of parsha projects here, but there are so many choices out there! Of course, Aish and Chabad have tons of things in their sites (see my parsha posts for specific links to some goodies). Here are a few others that are in my bookmarks: Parsha projects: crafts and snacks Parsha Cakes: …

As the fast stretches on, what should you do with the kids on Yom Kippur? The faithful video player, so useful in minor fasts, is useless. So are arts and crafts, coloring, and playdough, some things that always bring a smile and some precious industrious buzz as they get to work on other fast days. …

Ah, the three day Yom Tov. We get to do it three times in 2011, and that’s not all–this pattern will repeat in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2017! So how do you plan for a three day yom tov? I use a steady, systematic method to plan that make things as easy as possible. …

(See part 1 and part 2 of this series) We’ve talked about some ideas for weekday meals. Now what about Shabbat? These meals are usually more elaborate and may be harder for the coordinator to fill. One thing that we do in my community is break it up into two (or three, for bigger groups) …

The fast of Gedaliah is Sunday from dawn until dark, so eat and drink now! Take the opportunity to make a Malave Malka (meal “escorting” the Shabbat queen out) to get yourself ready. This fast day remembers the assassination of the governor of the Land of Israel after the destruction of the First Temple, Gedaliah ben …

So far in this series, I’ve talked about what to do (and NOT to do) when sending a chesed meal (baby meal, shiva meal, meal for a family with an ill member, etc.). Part 1. Now, let’s talk about weekday food specifics: what’s for dinner? For a non-Shabbat (weekday) meal, the most sent option seems …
