Good Shabbos! Parshas Shoftim, and menu

Parsha narration (out of order, with LOTS of complaining because Elisheva was in the room, but nicely worded and clear once she actually started talking).  Clockwise from top left:  Jewish King in chariot with Torah scrolls, Soldiers who can’t go to war, Wasting a crumpled bag, Killing a calf to atone for a murder.

So many complicated themes in this week’s parsha.  I just went with what My First Parsha Reader had to say, even though I know it misses out on a lot.  We also watched the G-dcast, parsha, of course.  Way above their heads, as usual…

THE MENU!

I’m actually doing SOME of the cooking this week.  More than I have all summer, it seems like.   Here, I’ll show you all my dishes in GREEN and Ted’s in MAROON.

Supper

  • Challah
  • Soup w/kneidlach
  • Chicken and rice (baked on sticky rice with french-fried onions on top – yummy!)
  • Corn
  • storebought Egg Rolls
  • Elisheva – chocolate chip cookies with lentils instead of chips
  • Me – marble cake (new recipe:  I googled Pareve Marble Cake and this is what came up!)

Lunch

  • Ted wanted to make cholent, but I’m shvitzing – no way!
  • BBQ Chicken salad (out of the cholent chicken)
  • Sliced meats
  • Potato Salad
  • Store-bought chickpea salad
  • Asian Broccoli salad w/crispy-fried ramen bits
  • Desserts from night

Okay, so it doesn’t look like I’m doing all that much when you break it down like that… but like I said, it’s MORE.

Good Shabbos!!!

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 on kids, including a
