Bread is served in various forms with any meal of the day. It is eaten as a snack, and used as an ingredient in other culinary preparations, such as sandwiches, and fried items coated in bread crumbs to prevent sticking. It forms the bland main component of bread pudding, as well as of stuffing designed to fill cavities or retain juices that otherwise might drip out. Bread has a social and emotional significance beyond its importance as nourishment. It plays essential roles in religious rituals and secular culture. Its prominence in daily life is reflected in language, where it appears in proverbs, colloquial expressions ("He stole the bread from my mouth"), in prayer ("Give us this day our daily bread") and in the etymology of words, such as "companion" (from Latin comes "with" + panis "bread"). 1.2 OBJECTIVE The Objective of this unit is to provide: 1.

It is my calendar, in which I carefully record all appointments, commitments, to-do lists, birthdays — basically every move I make. I anxiously check off items each day or carefully carry them over if they went unaccomplished. I look forward to each June, when I get to start fresh in a clean planner and love looking back at my life, day-by-day, through all my past ones. Technology passed me by and I could not care less. I ignore the sad stares I receive from Blackberry users as they check out my over-stuffed red book. Being organized has always been a large part of who I am as a person, wife, and working Mom.

  • The Divine Chess Game the Hamantash – Food for Thought
    March 7, 2020 Tetzaveh — Parshat Zachor 11 Adar, 5780 The Divine Chess Game Imagine a chess game in which the pieces on the board seem to move of their own accord. Pawns, rooks, queens and kings all move in the correctly prescribed manner, yet of their own volition. The chess pieces, we decide, must be puppets with invisible strings or they’re magnetized or computerized. Somewhere, somehow, there is a hidden hand pushing the pieces around. The events we commemorate on Purim are their own kind of chess game. In the Megilla, the record of the story of Purim, one does not see, nor hear any mention of G-d. In fact, G-d’s Name is not mentioned in the entire Megilla; the Book of Esther is the only book in the entire Bible entire in which G-d’s name never appears. And yet, somehow, someway, after learning about the “chess game” that took place in those days, one must conclude that G-d’s hand was controlling the game. Judaism teaches that G-d supplies the “recovery” before He brings the “illness.” In the case of Purim, the beginning of the recovery took place before Haman convinced King Ahasuerus to let him annihilate all the Jews. The King became angry with his wife, got rid of her, and began a search for a new queen. Enter Esther, a women who had no interest in becoming the new queen, who, in fact, hid herself from the royal messengers and, according to many sages, was even disqualified from participating in the “beauty contest.” In addition, Esther did nothing whatsoever to beautify herself once she was placed among the “contestants” in the palace.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

  • CHABAD of CHATTANOOGA Rabbi Shaul Perlstein Hebrew School Days
    CHABAD OF CHATTANOOGA Rabbi Shaul Perlstein Hebrew School Days from the Chabad.org website The two brothers, the famed RabbiElimelech of Li- zensk and Rabbi Zushe of Anipoli, often wandered about together, posing as simple beggars. They would mingle with the masses, listening, teach- ing, speaking, helping and guiding whomever and whenever they could. Once, while they were traveling with a group of vagabonds, members of the group were accused of being thieves, resulting in the entire bunch being thrown into jail. Confident of their innocence and eventual release, the two brothers sat quietly. As the afternoon progressed, Rabbi Elimelech stood up to prepare himself to pray the afternoon service. “What are you doing?” his brother asked. “I’m getting ready for minchah,” replied Rabbi Elimelech. “Dear brother,” advised Rabbi Zushe, “it is forbidden to pray in this cell, because there is a pail that serves as a toilet nearby, making the room unfit for prayer.” Dejected, the holy Rabbi Elimelech sat down. Soon after, Rabbi Elimel- ech began to cry. “Why are you crying?” said Rabbi Zushe. “Is it because you are unable to pray?” Reb Elimelech answered affirmatively. “But why weep?” continued Rabbi Zushe. “Don’t you know that the same G d who commanded you to pray, also commanded you not to pray when the room is unfit for prayer? By not praying in this room, you have achieved a connection with G d. True, it is not the connection that you had sought. Yet, if you truly want the divine connection, you would be happy that G d has afforded you the opportunity to obey His law at this time, no matter what it is.” “You are right, my brother!” exclaimed Rabbi Elimelech, suddenly smil- ing.
