Have you heard the story about the baby blue cat and the whole batch of cookies? His Mama cat baked a large batch of oatmealraisin cookies as a treat for her four little kittens. She asked them to go out and play for a while and when they came back into the house they would have their milk and cookies. Three of the cats did as instructed but baby blue cat couldn’t stop thinking about those cookies. He tiptoed into the kitchen just to look at the cookies but before he knew it - nip, nip, nip - he ate several of them up. He kept coming back to the plate under various pretenses until eventually, nip, nip, nip, they were gone, gone, gone - not one cookie left on the plate. He looked at the empty platter in dismay. “What will I do?” he 10
wondered. “What will I do?” He stood stammering before Mama cat unable to tell her what he had done. She spotted the trail of cookie crumbs down his front fur and guessed that he had taken a cookie or two from the cooling platter. “Not one cookie,” he cried. “Not two cookies. I ATE THE WHOLE BATCH!” Mama cat turned out to be a very calm and collected cat. She picked up her kitten and gave him a hug. “My, my,” was all she said. She called in her other kittens and told them to take a nap while she prepared another batch of cookies for them for snack time. I must sadly admit that I would not have

MIND OVER MATTER: The Emotional and Physical Benefits of Prayer By: Robin Daar, LCSW, RN Prayer is universal. For Jews it is the practice of connecting to something deeper and more meaningful in life, namely Hashem. Prayer gives us the opportunity to speak directly to G-d and to express our needs, thoughts and desires. Prayer is a necessary component of our lives as G-d fearing and loving Jews. We have been commanded to serve Hashem through prayer and it is due to those prayers that Hashem responds. In his research, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, Dr. Harold Koenig, notes that “a large volume of research shows that people who are more religious/spiritual have better mental health…compared to those that are less religious/spiritual”. An analysis of a study done by Wayne State University in Detroit supports this very quote. In this study, researchers identified a number of indicators of true religious commitment, including overall religiosity and house of prayer attendance. By assessing the overall mental health of the patients regarding depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues, a significant association between the participants’ religious involvement and the well being of their emotions was noted. Another study on the emotional benefits of prayer was performed in England’s Sheffield Hallam University. This study set out to determine if religious practice of any sort influenced the well-being of 251 men and 223 women between the ages of 18 and 29. Researchers measured the participants’ reasons for having a religious belief, their house of prayer attendance and their
42
tendency for depression. Interestingly enough, it was found that the frequency with which both men and women prayed was closely correlated to their having fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety. In addition, those who incorporated prayer into their lives not only were less likely to be mentally ill but also had considerably higher self-esteem. On the other hand, those who attended services for social reasons only tended to be more depressed. The findings of this study once again support the belief that prayer can have a positive effect on the emotional health of those who engage in it by decreasing anxiety and depression and increasing the general feeling of overall well being and optimism. While praying by oneself is most definitely beneficial, praying with others has been shown to have even stronger emotional benefits. When people pray together, they feel part of a community where the atmosphere is peaceful and nurturing. It is in this community that people both give and receive support from each other. Praying in a shul, or any other community of prayer, encourages people to bond with each other and form supportive relationships, which in turn improves the emotional health of those involved. Let us continue on to the benefits of prayer on the physical body. As we previously noted, prayer can have a different meaning for every culture and religion. For Jews, it is the practice of connecting to something deeper and more meaningful in life. Prayer helps us recognize the reason for our existence on this earth; that is, to dedicate our every moment to serving our G-d, Hashem. This comprehension of one’s lifelong purpose may have some surprising benefits on his or her physical health. In a study performed to determine that exact hypothesis, the University of Rochester Medical Center asked 6,000 people questions to assess whether or not they felt their lives had a purpose. Fourteen years later the study found that those who felt they

Continued from page 42 had a sense of purpose had a 15 percent lower risk of death, compared with those who said they were more or less aimless. While this is only one study, it could shed a light on a possible connection between one’s belief that life has a purpose and his or her physical health. Another possible physical benefit of prayer is depicted by a well-known author and cardiovascular medicine specialist at Harvard Medicine, Dr. Herbert Benson. In his book Relaxation Response, Dr. Benson describes what he calls the Relaxation Response, or one’s own personal ability to encourage his or her body to release chemicals and brain signals that make the muscles and organs slow down and increase blood flow to the brain. By doing so, one causes a lowering of his heart rate and blood pressure, and can even help any health problem that is caused or exacerbated by chronic stress such as fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal ailments, insomnia, hypertension, and anxiety disorders. Benson states that the way one can elicit the Relaxation Response is by regular practice of meditation and prayer. Just as prayer affects us positively from an emotional and physical standpoint, it has been shown to have benefits with regard to a person’s brain as well. In fact, in the past two to three years, a new field of neurology, called “neurotheology” has emerged that seeks to understand what changes take place in the brain of those who spend a great deal of their time in prayer and meditation. One such scientist, Andrew Newberg, has been scanning the brains of religious people for decades. Through the use of MRI scans, Newberg found that those who meditate and pray light up the areas of the brain that are responsible for concentration. This supports the idea that prayer keeps our brains healthy by necessitating our full concentration and focus in order to understand the words and fully connect to Hashem. Other studies have shown that prayer can lead to memory enhancement by reducing stress and clearing

the brain of negative thoughts. With Rosh Hashana approaching I want to wish you all a “Ktiva vchatima tova”. May all of your prayers be answered by Hashem and may you reap all the emotional, physical and mental benefits that prayer provides.

TURQUOISE By: Rachel Rosenberg
A
s the holidays approach and everyone is trying to lose some weight, my friends and I opted to go out for lighter fare instead of the usual steakhouse dinner. As one of my friends had to make a late night JFK airport pick-up, we wanted to try and stay local. For reasons that I still cannot fathom, the selection of decent upscale restaurants in the 5 Towns has dwindled to, in my opinion, zero. (Yes, I am aware I have written prior positive reviews of 5 Towns restaurants but they have either closed or declined in taste and service in the last year). For all these reasons, we drove to Queens, the next closest kosher food hub and dined at Turquoise, a dairy/fish restaurant. While we wanted the lighter food, closer to home, we were not prepared to sacrifice on service, taste or overall dining experience. In fact, at dinner I sat next to a friend who shares my appreciation and expectation of perfection. Turquoise certainly strived for and came close to being perfect that night. Turquoise’s space is large with high ceilings in no particular style. The artwork is eclectic including a sign spelling Turquoise in Hebrew, framed fish and a sailboat. The ambiance is not why you’re there. You are there for the fish. We started with tuna and yellow tail carpaccio and a cold bottle of Chardonnay. These arrived quickly, so we were able to nibble and sip while we perused the large menu and questioned the waitress on what was best to order. Both carpaccios were thinly sliced and topped with jalapeño. The tuna was served over a lemon and olive oil dressing and the yellow tail over a soy sauce and lime vinaigrette. Both were refreshing and a great promise of the fish to come.
62
For our appetizers, because we were a large group, I was able to sample many of the warm vegetable dishes and some of the sushi and raw fish appetizers. The tuna tartar was especially tasty and I loved that it was topped with half an avocado sliced and fanned. The sushi was fine but I would skip it as there are better other fish dishes at Turquoise and tastier sushi elsewhere. All the hot appetizers were full of flavor and comforting. The charcoal grilled eggplant was large and flat, topped with chickpeas and garlic. One of my favorites was the fried and breaded zucchini chips served with a cool yogurt dip. The warm crispy baguette was served with green tahini, which was excellent but the portion size of the tahini was too large. In general, food plating was clean but not particularly elegant. For our entrees, everyone chose a cooked fish with a choice of two side dishes. The side choices were potatoes, rice, grilled tomatoes or steamed vegetables. While I was disappointed that nobody tried the pasta, when I questioned the waitress she did not seem enthusiastic about it so I opted for fish like everyone else. The most popular entree by far was the combination platter which includes a portion of your choice of three different fillets. However, that night there were only three fillets available, so the platter included salmon, flounder and sea bass. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and was moist and flavorful. The salmon and flounder were also great but not as rich as the sea bass. I ordered the sesame seared tuna and made the mistake of asking for a medium preparation. When it arrived, I realized the thinly sliced tuna over vinaigrette needed to be rare or it was too dry. I summoned the owner, who was always visible and visited our table more than once to see how everything was doing. He agreed to have a new portion prepared for me, very rare. My replacement dish arrived within minutes just as everyone was getting started on their mains. The rare seared tuna was divine and the quality tuna showed. Only one at our table ordered a whole fish, the bronzini, which arrived tail and all and was a portion size fit for a king. My friend ordered it “zion” style which meant it was covered with grilled onions, tomatoes and a curry sauce. The taste was as spectacular as it looked. For dessert we tried one of everything and
SEPTEMBER 2014, Esra | EsraMagazineOnline.com
everything was wonderful. The cheese cake was creamy and impossible to stop at one bite. The whisky chocolate cake tasted like any chocolate mousse with no hint of whisky, but was still sinful. The service was decent that night but could have been better. The bus boy spilled a soda all over my friend’s dress and there was no offer to pay for cleaning or even a complimentary dessert. It was also a bit tacky when the top tablecloth was removed after our main course instead of cleaning it for dessert. The waitress
and owner were attentive and the food came out quickly. All in all, although I didn’t stick to my preholiday diet, Turquoise was near perfection and I can’t wait for a repeat performance. My rating: 4 stars ★★★★ Rachel Rosenberg, a practicing attorney and name partner at Rosenberg and Steinmetz PC, is known amongst friends and family as an accomplished chef and daring foodie with a critical eye and discerning palate. She lives in Woodmere with her husband and three sons.

From Soup to Nuts: Cooking Inspired Each time fall comes around we look to be inspired - with our wardrobes, our exercise and, especially at holiday time, our menus. This year, at least in terms of our Yom Tov cooking, we don't have to look further than Estee Kafra’s beautiful new cookbook, Cooking Inspired (Feldheim). Filled with over 200 recipes from the popular website, Kosher Scoop.com, Cooking Inspired brings creativity and passion back into the kitchen with quick and easy recipes and culinary ideas presented with a flair For example:
BISTRO MUSHROOM SALAD This salad has a few steps but it's all done in the same pan, and is really simple to make! It's best served at room temperature and is beautiful as an appetizer but can obviously be served as a salad for any meat meal as well.
and sliced 6 shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 6 cremini mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/2 cup button mushrooms, stemmed 3 Tbsp red wine Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 heads baby bok choy, stem removed 8 pastrami slices 6 romaine lettuce leaves, cut up Sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley Dressing: 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup olive oil 3 Tbsp granulated sugar 1 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp Kosher salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper Heat half of the olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add all of the mushrooms and saute for about 2 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened. Add the wine, sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute for 3 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside. Add the bok choy to the pan and saute for under a minute, just until the bok choy turns a bright green. Remove and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the pastrami; cook for about 20 seconds, just until the edges begin to curl. Dressing: Combine all of the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl, mixing well until combined. Assemble by creating a small pile of the romaine lettuce on a plate. Layer with the bok choy, cover with an assortment of mushrooms and top with the pastrami. Drizzle the salad with the dressing and garnish with parsley sprigs. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 3 large portobello mushrooms, stemmed

PUMPKIN SOUP WITH PARSLEYSUNFLOWER PESTO Every year we go apple picking and schlepp home more apples than we know what to do with. We also always buy a small pumpkin for soup. This is what we made with last year's pumpkin. It was so good that the kids have already threatened to bring home 2 pumpkins next year. Pumpkins may be daunting because of their size, but are really simple to work with if you follow this technique. 1 Tbsp oil (or more) 1 large pumpkin (about 3 lbs) 1 Spanish onion, chopped 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp dried thyme 6 cups chicken or vegetable stock (or 1 Tbsp chicken soup mix, msg-free, mixed with water) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
pumpkin with the oil and place face-down on a cookie sheet. Bake for 35 minutes. The pumpkin will have softened considerably. Scrape out the flesh and transfer to a large saucepan. (If it's too hard to scrape the filling out, return the pumpkin to the oven and bake longer.) Add all of the remaining ingredients to the saucepan. Pour in just enough stock to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook over medium heat for 45 to 60 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender. Use an immersion blender or ladle batches into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal "S" blade and puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pesto: Separate the leaves and small stems of the parley from the main stem. Discard the main stem. Place the parsley, sunflower seeds and garlic into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal "S" blade. With the machine running, slowly pour the olive oil into the feed tub, combining the ingredients until the mixture is chopped and pasty. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Dollop the pesto on top of the soup and garnish with extra-salted roasted sunflower seeds. Makes 6 to 8 servings. MAPLE ROAST When my friend Rachelli came by with this roast after I had my son Chaim, I was positive that she had put chocolate in it. Chocolate is always on my mind and the roast’s sweet scent with rich tones of flavor all but convinced me. (Did I mention I was a chocoholic?) Alas, I blamed my inability to detect the inclusion of maple syrup and soy sauce on my post-partum status, but based on the success of this recipe, I would have to guess this was one of the best baby gifts I ever received. A great recipe is the kind of present you use over and over again.
Pesto: 2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds 1 very small clove garlic (or half of a big one) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Roasted sunflower seeds, extra-salted, for garnishing Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the pumpkin in half and scrape out the seeds with a large spoon. Rub the inside of the
1 brisket or brick roast (about 3-4 lb) 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard 2 onions, sliced 2 sweet potatoes, cut into large chunks 1 cup red baby potatoes, cut in half

Continued from page 77 Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/3 cup soy sauce
Preheat the oven to 350째F. Spread the Dijon mustard over the sides and top of the roast. Arrange the onions in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Top with the sweet and baby potatoes. Place the meat on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over the meat and potatoes. Stir together the maple syrup and soy sauce in a small bowl. Pour over the meat. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 2 1/2 hours. Let cool. Chill overnight. Slice the meat, return to the pot with the vegetables. Reheat in a 250째F oven until warmed through. Makes 12 servings.
1 3/4 cups regular or whole-wheat cake flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup oil, (scant) 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup granulated sugar 4 large eggs 2 cups pecans, chopped 1 cup dried cranberries Preheat the oven to 350째F. Mix all of the ingredients in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the dough hook until combined. Divide the dough in half; place into 2 small, unlined loaf pans. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven; place on a wire rack. Wet a paper towel or kitchen towel. Wring it out and cover the pans with it. Allow the cakes to cool this way for 40 minutes. Remove the the loaves from the pans and wrap each loaf in foil and freeze overnight (or until you need them). Defrost for 10 minutes and slice very thinly. Lay on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350째F oven for 10 minutes on each side. Watch to make sure they don't burn. Makes 36 biscotti.
CRANBERRY PECAN BISCOTTI My wonderful neighbor sent these biscotti over when I had a baby. They were so pretty, much daintier looking than regular biscotti and they were seriously addictive. In fact, I finished the whole plate! Of course, I took the recipe and made them when my baby was only three days old!
78
COMMENTS A very sharp knife will make it much easier to slice this biscotti thinly. To look like a true "balabusta," my neighbor advised me to always have some of these halfbaked loaves in the freezer, ready for slicing and baking at a moment's notice.

FIT ME By Amalia We Do All Kinds Of Alterations
GRIN AND BARE IT Holidays bring out a range of emotions and evoke a variety of memories. As our New Year and the holidays approach, what is uppermost on your mind? How could it be anything BUT Israel and her losses - OUR losses? H.B. Uppermost on my mind is Israel and our brave soldiers who protect us. I pray that all Israelis are able to have a peaceful and safe new year and holiday season. I’d like to make them all a plattentorte! L.E. Survival!

The safety of our people in Israel. D.H. Ask me again after the war.

B.C.
Rosh Hashanah will always be particularly laden with emotion for me because I have yartzeit for my beloved Mom on Yom Tov. Even so, all the Holidays stir up lots of memories of childhood, of dear departed grandparents and of the years that my children were small. And I look forward to future memories being created and lots of cooking too. With G-d’s help. And of course this year my thoughts are with out brothers in Israel, I yearn and pray for peace! C.J. I think the situation in Israel is utmost in all our minds. It’s brought out a torrent of anti Israel and anti Semitic hatred. You can feel how tenuous our place is in this world and how we must daven to Hashem to keep Israel safe - our

I am hoping that because of this war we are involved in, that no matter what one’s feeling are about who should and who should not be exempt from conscription, that we at least have a heightened awareness and sensitivity of our obligation to pray for and have hakarat Hatov for our chayalim. For dare I say, if you fight Israel’s battles in the Bais, at least everyone of you will go home that night - daven and learn so that those on the battlefield do the same. L.M.W. I always pray for peace and good health for my family. This year my family includes my brethren in Israel and, in particular, our precious, brave chayalim. M.D. Across the seas I pray for peace in Israel and the safety for all living there and the safe return of our soldiers. Closer to home I pray for a full and speedy recovery for all who are ill and peace and happiness in our homes. May all our prayers be heard and answered for the good. A.H. That the world will finally open its eyes and see the truth. M.P. We had some scares this year so I approach the High Holidays with a tremendous amount of Hakarat Hatov and gratitude for the many blessings in our lives and pray that the coming year is filled with health, happiness and peace for our nation.

THE KOSHER GRAPEVINE: Meet The Big Six Kosher wines have been winning medals at prestigious international competitions and creating a buzz among wine connoisseurs, yet most kosher consumers still opt for the “traditional” sweet stuff. Irving Langer, author of The Kosher Grapevine (Gefen), a beautiful and witty book, embarks on an exploration of the subtleties of fine wine and is ready to share his hard won knoledge with you just in time for the holidays. For example: MEET THE BIG SIX Red and White represent the two major classifications of grapes. Each grape variety is divided into smaller subdivisions. It is common to speak of “the Big Six” varieties, which are the most commonly cultivated. 1. RIESLING [pronounced Reezling]. This German variety goes back to the Rhine region of Germany during the fifteenth century, when it was called Reusseling. The name is something of a mystery, but could have derived from characteristics of the vine itself. Russ is a dark wood, and rissig refers to grooved bark. Some speculate that the term riessen (to tear, or pull apart) may be part of the name. The grape is naturally acidic and tart and it can exhibit a wide variety of fruity flavors and aromas. Riesling grapes are strongly influenced by their location, so you can hardly know what a Riesling wine will be like unless you know where its vineyard was located. It ages well, and when it gets really old, it can exhibit a rubbery smell. This is actually considered a desirable quality in the wine
126
because it adds something interesting to its character. Many sweet white wines are made from this grape. 2. CHARDONNAY [Shar-doh-nay]. Named after a village in Burgundy, France, this is a strong, energetic vine that grows well all over the world. The Chardonnay grape is somewhat neutral in taste. It is also easily influenced by its location and how it is fermented and aged. An aged Chardonnay can develop a buttery kind of texture. It is also used extensively for making Champagne and other sparkling wines. Chardonnay coming from cool climates can exhibit many flavors, from nuts and berries to tropical fruit tastes, while warm-climate Chardonnay can develop honey and vanilla flavors. 3. SAUVIGNON BLANC [Soh-veenyohn Blahn]. Its name means “wild white,” which seems to indicate that the Sauvignon Blanc grape once grew wild. It is indigenous to the Bordeaux region of France. The wine produced from this grape is often said to have a grassy, herbal, and aggressive aroma, although it can also be crisp and refreshing. This grape is also often used in sparkling wines. 4. PINOT NOIR [Pee-noh Nwahr]. The name means “black pinecone” and it probably refers to the way the dark grapes cling together in closely packed clusters. The name may also derive from the noble family named Pinot that thrived during the Roman era, as this grape was being cultivated in the Burgundy region of France (Gaul) when the Romans invaded it in the first century. Wine made from these grapes is said to have sensual, intoxicating, sweet, and fruity tastes or aromas. The wine can exhibit a wide array of qualities that are often difficult to pin down. Some say that this is the most “romantic” of wines. It is light and soft. 5. MERLOT [Mehr-loh]. The name means “young blackbird,” which may refer to the color of the grape. Or perhaps it means that

Continued from page 126 blackbirds are fond of eating them. No one really knows. Merlot is thought of as being soft and friendly, with tastes of cherries or berries. Traditionally, it has been used to blend with stronger wines to balance out their sharper qualities. Nowadays, many pure Merlots are enjoyed as well. For the most part, such wines are considered easygoing, relaxed, and well-rounded, like an old friendship. Beginners should be aware that the Italian Merlots are lighter and easier to appreciate than their French or Californian cousins. Israeli Merlots also go down easy; softer and more supple, they are able to produce an opulent taste in the plummy category. 6. CABERNET SAUVIGNON [Cab-ehrnay Soh-vee-nyohn]. Sometimes called Cab or Cab-so for short, this is a hybrid resulting from a chance crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, probably in the seventeenth century. As mentioned above, Sauvignon Blanc is a “wild white” grape variety. The
130
word franc just means “pure.” The word Cabernet is a bit esoteric, though, and one theory is that it means “coal black,” because the grape is very dark. It became popular in the 1800s, some calling it the king of red grapes, because it is a hardy plant and easier to grow than many other grape varieties. Never a wimpy wine, Cab is known for its Big Taste. It can contain layers upon layers of tastes, aromas, and textures. It has such strong tannins that some Cabs are just undrinkable until they have aged, preferably in oak barrels. (Tannins are the organic substances from the seeds, stems, and grape skins that give wine its velvety, or drying, texture on the palate.) Even when aged, a Cab can still be too strong for beginners to enjoy. Once you get used to it, you will learn to appreciate its richness, its earthy flavors, and its woody undertones, as well as the spicy, tobacco, berry, or vanilla flavors that come popping up. It can also exhibit a wide variety of fruity tastes. A great Cab can be a like a symphony of sensations that hits you with force and assertiveness.

Continued from page 10 reacted that sensibly or affectionately. As I said, she was quite a cool cat. My grandchildren love this story and never tire of hearing it. I even brought it with me to Israel when I visited them this past summer. I was asked to read Baby Blue Cat at least twice a day during my twelve day trip. And each time I did, with every nip, nip, nip, the little ones’ faces lit up in delight. They covered their faces with their little hands in a pretense of anguish as the cookies one by one (and sometimes is couples of two), quickly disappeared. When baby blue cat stands before his mother after he’s demolished the entire plateful of cookies they join me, voices in a mock-tremble as I read: “M-M-M-Mama cat! M-M-M-Mama cat!” Every time I read Baby Blue Cat I think of holiday time in my parents’ Boro Park kitchen when we were all still living at home. My mom rarely asked us to help in the kitchen so we were usually off in other parts of the house while she whipped up her delicious dishes. We were happy to stay out of the kitchen until the aromas began wafting around our first floor apartment, slipping into our bedrooms and beckoning us to follow their enticing trails. Almost trancelike we would individually find our way into the hub of our home where pots were bubbling and just-baked treats cooling. No matter where in our home our mother was situated - even when she was taking a welldeserved nap - she knew exactly when one of us would wander into the kitchen and check out the yummy results of her culinary efforts. Carefully and quietly we would lift a lid, fold back a foil covering, raise a spoon for tasting, but it never failed. “Girls, out of the pots!” she would call from her post, wherever that was at the time. How did she know? Over the years the five of us did our share of raiding the pantry and no matter how subtle we thought we were, she always knew.
For several years after we were married with children but before we became homeowners and our parents started coming to us for the holidays, we filed back to Boro Park and packed into the now cramped space to celebrate together. Even then, as responsible adults, we quickly fell back into our previous roles of skulking into the kitchen for a quick nip-nip-nip of something yummy, only to hear a voice from the livingroom call out: “Girls there will be nothing left for dinner!” Oh, how we loved her Friday night spicy chicken fricassee and those scrumptious hot-out-of-theoven rugelach bursting with chocolate! This year as we head into the fall and are nearing Rosh Hashana and Succos, more than ever, our minds, hearts, and prayers are with our brethren in our beloved Israel. May we all enjoy Yom Tov meals celebrating back home with family and friends in peace and joy.
