Thanks so much for this recipe. I’ve been searching for years for something like this as we all love cheesecake but one of my son’s is lactose intolerant and can’t have dairy. Will try to surprise them next week. Again thanks.

Rochie – this is a timely commentary on the story of Judith. At our Eastside Torah Center Hannukah party last Friday, when we played “Taboo,” I picked the word “Yehudis.” I was not familiar with the Hebrew name of Judith, and only superficially familiar with the story of Judith. Thanks for your enlightening and inspiring essay. This evening I luxuriated on the sofa after we lit the Hanukah Menorah!

Rebbetzin Farkash, notice how as you say “welcome to the women’s only chanukah party” a man appears in the background pouring himself a drink:)

Comment on The Haircut by Gloria

Aww what a cute story. Don’t worry about the hair, it has a wonderful tendency to grow back. Before you know it, it will be long again. I can’t tell you how many times I had mine cut way too short and I hated it, but within a short time, it grew longer and I felt better. And by the way, I really hated the way my hair looked at Galit’s wedding, but no matter what my hair stylist tried that morning, nothing would stay in place. So it’s only hair and we were running late, and nobody noticed anyway or said anything. Hmm…I think I just got an idea, an article on Women’s Adventures with Hair. Have a good one.

Rochie,
What a beautiful story about your Holidays in Brooklyn. Thank you for sharing it. Wish I could have met the Rebbe — your description reminded me of what Rabbi Farkash talked about during Rosh Hasaha: being fully present. The Rebbe certainly mastered that quality!
