May not look like much…

cones 2010-09-01 001… but it just may be a kid-friendly way of serving TUNA, SALMON, CREAM CHEESE and EGG SALAD at GZ’s upsherin (What’s an upsherin???  FAQ here!).

(and yes, you’re invited!)

Quick, easy, fun, tidy!  I’ve done this before for my kids but it never occurred to me to do it en masse.  I would make them look a bit nicer than this one, of course.  OR… bowls of salads and people can mix n’ match.

Okay, either way, I know Elisheva will tell me it’s hopelessly tacky.  But do you know how MUCH the places charge for party “platters” with nothing but blobs of these relatively inexpensive substances???  Even with cholov Yisrael cream cheese, DIY could save us dozens and dozens of dollars, if not hundreds.

The only question would be, for adults who would normally wash if I were serving party sandwiches, should they wash and bentsch before and after “party cones?”  If it was only one or two cones, I would say NO, it’s not necessary.  But if they were going to really dig in and make a meal of it, they should probably wash on a piece of pita or something, just to remove all safek.

Not that I’m a competent (or incompetent) poseik halacha, of course… as always, CYLHA!

    I think that's a cool idea. Perhaps, for color, you could have DIY "sprinkles" of green onion, tomato, capers, chopped egg, etc, ?? Just a thought.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
