Passover Is Coming – פֶּסַח

Passover, aka Pesach, aka פֶּסַח, is just around the corner. There is a lot of prep required for the holiday. Think of it as spring cleaning for the Jews. We have to make sure there is no bread food anywhere in our possession. That means, no crumbs either. Not in our kitchen, not in our

Purim (פורים) Review 2007

Yesterday was the holiday of Purim (פורים). Purim is a happy holiday for the Jewish people, because if you read the the story of Esther you will see things turned out A-OK for us.

Chanukah (חנכה) Is Tomorrow Night

Chanukah (חנכה) is tomorrow night, it is probably the most favorite Jewish holiday for kids. This is the holiday kids are dripping with gifts from their parents and relatives. Of course, the Wikipedia has a fairly nice write up on Chanukah. That is me, dressed up as a “Dreidel,” which is a toy kids play
