Hello dear readers, I was cleaning out the basement a few days ago, and I came across a BEAUTIFUL seder plate that my daughter Ronit made in middle school. It was more of an art project than a functional plate, but it got me thinking about the seder (even though pesach is still many months ...
Hello dear readers, Yesterday I was looking at a beautiful watercolor painting of a desert that my daughter Ronit made in art class. (Also, is it weird to make a watercolor of a waterless desert?) For some reason it got me thinking about the connection between the desert and the holiday of Pesach. I know ...
Hello dear readers, Our trip to our sukkot hotel in Italy is still months away, but one family member is already excited about visiting (and performing) in a new country. That little performer is, of course, little Reuven, age 10, and the performance is juggling at “simchat beit hashoeva” or “rejoicing in the house of ...
Hello dear readers, I want to start this blog post by taking you back in time, back to a simpler time. Before smartphones, before the internet, before Y2K and AOL and all that stuff. Back when I was a kid, before we w ent on kosher Passover vacations, pesach seders were a much more intimate ...
Hello dear readers, I’m so excited for our upcoming pesach vacation (thanks Leisure Time Tours), I’ve already started my list of things to pack!

C4n you guess wh4t number I h4ve in mind? (Thinking) Okay, maybe that was a little much. But seriously, I’m ...
I know it’s only January, but you know what I’m already thinking about? Pesach. (FYI it’s Monday April 10th, and I didn’t even need to look that up, I already memorized the date!) I was already starting to obsess about everything, planning the menus and inviting the seder guests and figuring out where all the ...
Hello dear readers, For the first time in eight years, the Silver/Jacobsen/Blum clan won’t be in New York for pesach. We’re going to a kosher for Passover hotel in Boca Raton, Florida! By and large, it’s been a stress-free couple of weeks leading up to pesach (at least on the shopping-cooking-cleaning-planning front. As a mother ...
Hello dear readers, As you all know, I’m super excited to be traveling to Boca Raton to our kosher Passover hotel in Florida. It’s actually our first pesach out of New York in 8 years!! Reuven was just two years old then. That pesach we were in Israel, and I don’t need to tell you ...
