These sukkot mini cupcake wrappers have a story behind them. Do you remember Hurricane Harvey? It seems so long ago to those not affected and given the latest natural disasters happening now. However, last year the Houston Jewish community was hard hit. In addition to donating funds to the local community, Bnei Akiva of North America wanted to send them ...
These apple butter muffins came about in the following way. I was working on the Birkat Chaverim pinterest boards. Lately we have had a large growth of followers on Pinterest and I like to see what followers are interested in. One of our fans had pinned an apple butter pin. Apple butter was new to me, but it sounded like something my kids would like (th ...
New: Relationship Cupcake Wrappers In honor of Tu BAv I wanted to share my new digital relationship cupcake wrappers. These came about in a spur of the moment way. For the past several years Birkat Chaverim has been donating digital cupcake wrappers as a donor thank you gift to individuals who donate to The Eden Center on Giving Tuesday. Background ...
I've been admiring the Leatherdos or Clippa kippa clip project for a while. This is a neat product that was a result of a student project. A Holon design student, Yaacov Goldberg decided to play around with the kippa clip for his design object. He noted that kippa clips are often used for other things besides keeping a kippa from flying away. Goldberg ...
Spoiler alert! We are using these Mini Purim Cupcake Wrappers for our mishloach manot this year. The picture above is approximately how they will look, although we might use healthier content. Here we used mini marshmallows and "Clicks" which have some sort of flour/crunchy filling inside. These mini Purim cupcake wrappers are a little bit different ...
Last year my sister's family (in particular my niece), made this cute game for Purim, which they gave out instead of extra mishloach manot (that is, they fulfilled the mitzvah, and then these were for fun.) The game is called Zachor It! based on the Spot It! game. The idea of the game is that there is only one match for each set of two cards, which you ...
Hanukkah is coming, which means its time for Hanukkah cupcake wrappers. I have just added a new package to the shop to order all three Hanukkah digital cupcake wrappers as one downloadable package in the shop. Meaning you can purchase the blue-green, maroon and orange cupcake wrappers in one purchase. This actually saves you some money, if you were plan ...
I have had very little to say in the past few weeks. Just so sad about all four boys who were killed. King Yoram Piece I don't know why, but I was reminded of this piece that I made quite a number of years ago when I was also feeling sad about events in the news. It is a depiction of a terrible story in Melachim Bet (Kings 2) when there was a famine a ...
The Torah Stitch by Stitch project is not strictly a project geared towards children, however it is one that children can participate in, and would be an interesting project for a group as a bar/bat mitzvah project. Created by artist, Temma Gentles, it is intended for people who want to experience "the purpose, rigor, and spirit of producing the holy te ...
Remember the American Guild of Judaic Art’s Mentor Program I posted about a while back? Today we have a guest post from Flora Rosefsky, a mentor in the program. I've long admired Flora's work so I'm excited to have her perspective in the Mitzvot Unplugged series. Her work is fun and vibrant, as you can see from the works included in this post. Fl ...
