I wanted to create a list of Jewish content collaborative pinterest boards. Why? Outside of this blog, I also do community building and web design for non-profits and artists, with a particular focus on Pinterest. For many of them, having access to collaborative boards with an audience interested in Jewish themes is important. In particular, for those b ...
I've been adding to our digital cupcake wrapper offerings. I try to add designs that will match our cover offerings. What I have noticed so far is that the favorite covers are: Purim wrappers Mazal Tov Stars Light Blue Mazal Tov Stars Dark Blue Mazal Tov Circles Anyone interested in ordering Purim wrappers can do so from the shop, or ...
We put together some of the digital Hanukkah cupcake wrappers and toppers (to the great delight of my kids who got to help assemble and eat some of the cupcakes.) They are two designs- one has a "shamash" on the topper with Hanukkah Sameach in Hebrew, and one has the shamash on the wrapper and "Happy Hanukkah" in English. The orange colored version ...
We have two new designs for Rosh Hashana both for use on the Bnei Akiva bencher and as part of our line of cupcake wrappers and toppers. Its a repeat pattern of apples, bees and honey. To purchase these or to view any of the other wrappers, check out the gift section of the Birkat Chaverim store.
Remember the Purim cupcake wrappers? Just wanted to let you all know that they've been joined by a bunch of new wrapper designs. This time, these designs match with some of our bencher designs. That means they could be used in conjunction with a bencher order, or alone at a family celebration. Note the Kotel design is particularly useful for Yom Yerusha ...

I was impressed by how he spoke about his work, and the calmness he emitted during the visit. Since that visit, I have not met him, but his name has cropped up via artist friends who respect his work and who have learned fr ...
Had to share this - I thought this was a cool idea: In case you can't read Hebrew the text printed on the eggs say: "Advertise with eggs sig.co.il." I think its such a fun idea. Around Holiday times it would be especially useful, given the number of eggs used goes way up. This also opens all types of possibilities of uses for eggs. For instance, ...
I mentioned on the facebook page that I have been working on something and I'm excited to share it now. Purim character cupcake wrappers! These are downloadable files which can be printed on your inkjet printer or by sending them to your local print shop for printing. Then you cut them out and use them to wrap cupcakes. Each file has wrappers for Ham ...
As we are back in wedding season I thought I would bring you highlights of Nissim Sibony's "Moroccan Jewish brides" series. Nessim Sibony (born in Marrakech, Morocco,) is an LA based artist and educator. His work is largely paintings but also includes other media and ritual works. The Moroccan brides were originally conceived as a print s ...
In honor of Yom Haatzmaut I'm sharing Ita Aber's "El Al First Class" which was part of the World of Beads 7 Exhibition (Thanks for permission Ita!) I think its a fun use of those shoe horns you sometimes get and definitely blue. No link to a website, but if you'd like to be in touch with Ita please do email me or post a comment and I will put you in tou ...
