Menu Madness: Emor
We’re creatively recreating the bread displayed in the Tabernacle.
Menu Madness: VaYakhel
It’s a Cholent Throwdown!
Menu Madness: Terumah
Feeling Cruv-y
Menu Madness: Mishpatim
So, this week, the narrative party is over and being a Parashah Mom becomes a bit more complicated as parashat hashavua shifts to more legalistic discussions.
Menu Madness: Beshalach
This weeks parashah includes the splitting of the Yam Suf, Red (Reed) Sea, Moshe’s and Bnei Yisrael’s glorious hymn of thanksgiving to God for the miracle, and God’s culinary plan for feeding Bnei Yisrael during their sojourn in the desert.
Menu Madness: VaAyra
The parashah introduces the first seven of the ten plagues that God sent down on Egypt. The plagues will form the meal… rather than just be represented by a drop of wine as at the Pesach Seder.
Menu Madness: Shmot
Originally, when I began pondering this whole blogging-the-parashah idea, I joked that reaching Shmot would be strange, because why would I want to make Pesach in January.
Menu Madness: Noah
For this year, our Shabbat lunch will be a nod to the glorious variety of living creatures that Noah rounded up to fill his ark and preserve for eternity (well, sort of).
Menu Madness: Bo
While last week’s post may suggest that this week I will focus on the remaining three plagues that God hurled onto the Egyptians, I chose to focus this week’s shabbat festivities on a more positive aspect of the parahsah. Locusts. darkness, and slaying of the firstborn were a bit too gruesome and challenging for me. Instead, this week’s Torah reading introduces three mitzvoth, commandments, that were given to the fledgling Jewish nation.
Menu Madness: Tetzaveh
This shabbat will include a lot of play at our table.
