This post looks very different than the one that should have gone here. I intended to talk about my daughter’s Bat Mitvah celebration last year, the new design we did because her celebration was at the Bird Observatory, and how we might have done some things differently. However, given that the world is in isolation and that many Bnei Mitzvah have post ...
Recently i was invited to a hair cutting ceremony (upshern/chalaka). I was really happy to see the event, and would have been happy to share in the celebration, but the day I saw the Facebook event was a day after the event. This is not the only time this has happened to me. A friend gave birth and organized a brit, and shared the event only on Facebook ...
An idea for Sheva Brachot, Master Chef Sheva Brachot. Sheva Brachot come after a whirlwind of organizing and preparing for a huge event. By the time you get to them, the various family members are often tired and cranky. In addition, it is not always easy, especially for introverts, to get a handle on all the new family members. To find som ...
This years Mitzvot Unplugged relates to Bar and Bat Mitzvah. I am taking the opportunity to discuss more general issues as well. “What do you do at a Bat Mitzvah anyway?” That is the question that my daughter asked me recently. We had been invited to two Bat Mitzvah celebrations that day. As my daughter is approaching the traditional age of accepting ...

In general, cacti are a popular icon in Israel, particularly the fruit of the Opuntia ficus-indica, or sabra fruit. Israelis are often compared to the fruit, because the fruit ...

In this case, the customer wanted a cover that matched the inside of the bencher. We do already have a design that matches the inside of the bencher, a simple border design based on ...
Yesterday my daughter shared her Yom Haatzmaut pop up card project that she made in school. Today my son wanted to share his own school project- a marshmallow flag. His gan/kindergarten had a falafel day for Yom Haatzmaut. Each child received an identity card with picture and information about themselves, a flag and a cute map with stickers. About the ...
Presenting my daughter's Yom Haatzmaut Pop Up card design. My daughter's school emphasizes the contribution that each student can make in the school. One of the programs that they have created for this purpose is a "chanchut" or mentoring class once a month. Each month the older students get a story or theme to teach their first grade students. They al ...
We recently had a really fun birkon order for a Bat Mitzvah. The order was for Mission Impossible Theme benchers. The family was kind enough to allow us to share the design with you. Scroll to the end to see it. I think this is so much fun. Isn’t this a fun Bat Mitzvah design? I don’t know all the details of the celebration but the cover design is ri ...
