Some (Deep) Thoughts of the Day from Around the Web

The Palestinians have turned down every single peace offer they have received… They even said no when Israel offered them a state of their own on almost 100% of the land that they demanded.. And yet, Israel is blamed for the lack of peace in the Middle East.

Israel is not the problem!  LINK

JAMIE GELLER’S CHALLAH RECIPE

from Joy Of Kosher with Jamie Geller

Jamie Geller’s Challah Recipe

Here is my now famous challah recipe. Challah is the Jewish egg bread served every week on Shabbat and is usually braided. You don't have to top it, but I love it with everything topping and I have a heavy hand. I make this recipe every week and I get so much satisfaction out of the kneading and braiding it is the one dish I don't mind spending time on. And don't forget to get the kids involved. Not only are they in my prayers, but they each get their own little mound of dough to shape and decorate as they like. I like everything, they like sprinkles, we are all happy. Enjoy this challah recipe this Shabbat and for many years to come.

NOTE: Great piece on Wine and Purim. Shiraz? 

As any Talmudic scholar will tell you, talking about Purim without talking about wine just isn’t possible. It’s not like we need an excuse to talk about wine, but a specific prompt is something we always enjoy, as it allows us to dive into a particular aspect of wine we might never have explored.Yesterday we looked at the history of Manischewitz, the world’s most popular kosher wine. Today we look at the history of wine in Persia, from ancient history to Purim, all the way to the present day.
