Hello dear readers, When Pesach starts to appear on the horizon, you know there’s a lot of work to do. There’s cooking lots of food for two seders and a week’s worth of meals without the use of classic staples like bread, pasta or cookies. And if you’re cooking lots of food, then you’re also ...
Hello dear readers, Tonight, I was helping my son, Reuven, with his tanach homework. Teaching my one son got me thinking about teaching the four sons of the pesach hagaddah, and how we describe in the maggid section that we are supposed to teach each son separately, according to his need and abilities. Of course, ...
Hello dear readers, When setting up for our seders, regardless of whether we are at home or away at a kosher Passover hotel, we like to add lots of decorations. Though some years we like to make new decorations from scratch (place cards, drawings, toys, etc.), we also have a few sets in a box ...
Hello dear readers, I bet some of you are wondering about the title of this blog post. One quart? What could that mean? Well, if you do some basic conversions, you’ll know that there’s two pints in a quart and two cups in a pint, so a blog post about one quart is actually a ...
Hello dear readers, The scent of pesach is in the air. Can you smell it? Simcha raba Simcha raba, Aviv higiah pesach ba! Spring is on its way in, winter is on the retreat, so it’s time to put away your big coats and mittens and scarves, and unpack your shorts and sandals and … ...

Hello dear readers, With pesach just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to go over an important part of the pre-pesach cleaning process: the selling of the chametz. It may not be as labor-intensive as scouring the oven or scrubbing the floors, but it’s still essential to cleaning your house ...
Hello dear readers, As you all know, pesach is coming up. I always find that right after Purim ends, the stress starts to creep on you. On the logistical scale, it’s travel plans and coordinating with family and figuring out who we’re inviting for seders (or who’s inviting us). Inside the house, it’s the cleaning, ...
Hello dear readers, Some of you may be staying home for pesach this year. And you know what? Staycations can be fun, too! Sleeping in your own bed, going to your own shul, not having to worry about changing your electrical plugs (if you’re going overseas that is). But if you are going away for ...
Hello dear readers, So you’ve decided to book a kosher pesach vacation. Congratulations! Much like the ancient Israelites, you’ve made the wise and courageous decision to leave home and take your family to leave the mundane world behind! (At least for a week or two). Whether it’s to Florida, Arizona, Italy or somewhere else (thanks ...
