Shabbos Erev Tisha b’Av: What “R” you eating?

Here’s our food plan, for a full 3-meal Shabbos to go into the fast!  If you’re not sure what Tisha b’Av is (and also, perhaps, what Wikipedia is, because I’m sure there’s good information over there), click here for my very own FAQ.  Submit your questions here or there and I’ll be sure to get ‘em answered in time for next year!

Note:  Crossed out = done!

Shabbos Dinner (Meat)

  • Challah
  • Chicken soup w/kneidlach
  • Shake n’ Bake chipotle chicken (Ted – to bake at last minute before Shabbos)
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Corn / NO Black Bean Salad
  • Jello w/blueberries (I just type out Ted’s food plan… frankly, I think this is a terrible idea, but (postscript) I made it anyway)
  • Other hopefully chocolatey desserts

Lunch (Meat)

  • Challah
  • Turkey pastries (YM)
  • Slicey meats
  • NO!!! Cholent (ditto – terrible idea; I will seek to undermine this cholent idea in every way I can while Ted’s out at work tomorrow…)
  • Lettuce salad (yucko)
  • NO TIME!!! Potato salad
  • Pickles (he wrote this on the menu??!?)

Shalosh Seudos / Seudah Mafsekes (meal before the fast)

  • Homemade potato gnocchi w/ homegrown basil pesto
  • Hard-boiled eggs (traditional before a fast)
  • Salmon caesar salad

I still need to work on the desserts concept a bit more… we are not surviving Shabbos with only Jello-with-blueberries in sight.  I am in the mood for something fluffy and artificially-strawberry flavoured, but that happens quite often.

What are your tricks for eating ahead of time to survive a long fast???

    Salmon caesar salad sounds so interesting! Can you put the recipe up?

    We're doing a pretty standard shalesheudos, which for us is challah and salads, raw veggies with dips, deviled eggs, and sesame noodles. Plus fruit salad and brownies.

    Hope you get something more your speed for dessert! ;)

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
