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!!!

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
