Shabbos HaGadol La-Z Shabbis Fude (aka Food)

Mostly store-bought. Ha ha ha ha! Made a run up to Sobey’s and bought almost everything. Yay for one-stop shopping!

Checked out the Family Resource Centre in the Promenade while we were up there. They have a Friday-morning Shabbat Party that I have been wanting to try. Mostly babies, and way too short: 15 minutes, start to finish. The good news is that that leaves about 20 minutes afterwards to play before the centre closes. The kids had a great time.

The play stuff is the basics: train table, crafts, etc. They do have a very cool magnet centre. I promised the kids that sometime after Pesach, we will drive Ted to work, go shopping, and then drop in on the play centre again.

So here’s our mostly but not quite kosher-for-Pesach Shabbos food!

Shabbos Dinner:

Store-bought challah
Homemade soup (Ted made it Wednesday night; we’ll cut up veg today)
Kreplach from the freezer by Mommy
Chicken in teriyaki sauce (store-bought sauce)
Matzah farfel aka Pesach Stuffing Mix (comes in a box)
Potato kugel (store-bought, kosher l’Pesach)
Corn (kosher l’Pesach for Sephardim, but not for me… waah!)
Store-bought fudge bar cake

Shabbos Lunch:

Store-bought challah
Homemade cholent w/extra kreplach by Mommy
Store-bought latkes
Slicey meats
Store-bought moroccan carrot salad
Store-bought potato salad
Fudge bar cake (from last night)

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
