Shalom Y’all! We had an exciting weekend. While cities across the country were being drenched with too much precipitation in the form of rain, snow and ice, we were in a virtual desert when our well pump went out. Here I was, happily singing in the shower when all of the sudden the water stopped. […]

Shalom, It’s Challah baking day. What a lovely aroma! What fun braiding 6-strand loaves. What a joy to see my children and husband savoring the light, sweet, egg bread. Did you know that Jewish women pray as they knead and prepare the Challah? They pray for their family and loved ones as their hands prepare […]

JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM 2007 (The story of how it came to be…)   It all started with an innocent comment. My sister in the L-rd Terry asked me if I had ever been to Israel and I replied “No, but I’d love to be there some day.”   Around that time, our pastor began a […]

Shalom Y’all! Well, THIS year will be different from other years because of our older ones leaving soon, no family or friends close by, and well, we’re in a different situation. Soooooo, here’s our plans: Tonight is Shabbes (Sabbath) and also the last night of Chanukkah. We will have a nice supper (and have a […]

Shalom Y’all, We love our ice cream. We love really GOOD ice cream, not the cheap stuff full of additives. Since we love our ice cream so much, we decided to make our own. As with most things, making our favorite foods at home allows us to use organic ingredients, make sure there are no […]

  My Year of Jubilee     Today is my 50th birthday. Not only is this a true miracle of G-d because of the cancer that threatened to take my life not long ago from which the L-rd has healed me, but the 50th year in the Bible is ordained as a year of Jubilee. […]
