Other “weekly memes” I participate in that may or may not interest you:

We are a Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher.

Newcomers, read my MPM intro here which tells you all about who we are, or just visit my super-duper-list-imization of Everything We Eat.

SO… what the HECK is there to eat that we didn’t get enough of seven times over on Yom Tov???  I feel like we ought to be eating a whole bunch of plain food to compensate for the ritual overeating of the last few weeks. 

(Okay, okay, the that “ritual overeating” part is not exactly true.  Overeating is actually not only a chillul Hashem but also a violation of bal taschis – the prohibition of wasting anything good or useful.)

Sunday (tonight):  Sloppy Joes (YM’s birthday pick!) at our house on delicious homemade no-knead buns.  My mother said “what a waste” to serve something lazy like sloppy joes on something delicious like fresh bread.  But fresh bread is never a waste, so there.

Monday (Ted’s late day):  Chicken Wings (sticky or buffalo???) (inspired by Batya)

Tuesday (busy BUSY day):  Homemade pizza, easy, easy

Wednesday:  Fish n’ Chips (Ted’s request, battered & fried the authentic way… ie, the way I have never ever been able to do it properly before).  Tartar sauce.  Frozen french fries, cooked in the oven.  Less than authentic, but if I’m patchking with the fish, I want everything else to be easy.

Thursday (Vegan Vursday):  Pareve polenta w/wine & mushroom sauce?  Roasted veg?

Friday (Ted off work)/Shabbos:  TBD

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
