A Bissel Humor
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "This is So Not a Way to Become a Jewish Woman."
I'm sure many of us have seen the new hit Adam Sandler movie, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, and probably most people will tell you it's a great movie.
To be fair, I believe that Adam Sandler did not mean badly with this movie in that it did show him trying to get the often out-of-control teenagers back on track. It was also nice to see that Stacy was ultimately a good person and friend. However, this Hollywood-ized version of a bat mitzvah and Jewish culture is clearly made for profit and not with a Jewish moral compass in mind and soul.

If you love fresh waffles and you love chicken and beef, you’ll love Mordy Menkes and his new South Florida kosher food truck business called Wild Flour Waffles.

Waffle On Over This Hanukkah
Nice in terms of peace, tolerance, brotherhood and all that.
But something about this doesn't look exactly kosher. ;-)

A Hanukkah Gnome
This book is about finding and connecting with G-d. As the prophet Jeremiah states (29:13), "You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." This is my personal journey back to G-d and Judaism. It provides my life reflections, dreams, prayers, and hopes to strengthen my faith and trust in G-d by exploring a variety of the precious gems of Judaism and the Torah, reflecting on the diversity and strength of our people and culture, and longing for our nation and beautiful State of Israel and the completion of the final Redemption and bringing of the Mashiach. Please G-d, may it serve as inspiration for your journey as well.
Announcing My First Book: On Judaism and Life
There can be no doubt that the long-awaited completion of our redemption and the coming of the Mashiach by the Jewish year 6,000 (the beginning of the seventh millennium) is established no less than the Shabbat, which is the seventh day of every week for us. The Shabbat, in fact, is considered a covenant between G-d and the Jewish people, and so too, according to Maimonides’ “13 Principles of Faith,” we trust in the coming of Mashiach.

Looks more like a stuffed animal or blanket that you cuddle with.
Can't believe these are actually to wear on the feet.
Feminine and footwear. ;-)

You can pick the cards with the models you are interested in.
Seems a little obsolete in the time of the Internet when it could all be online.
Also, seems more than a little degrading to line them up on a shelf like any commodity in a store.
People are not things for peddling (or Human Trafficking!), and this seems like it sends the wrong message especially about women.
At least if you threw in some male models here too, it wouldn't come across so grossly misogynistic. ;-)

Lipstick On A Chair
Izzy’s Brooklyn Smokehouse Kosher BBQ now has a location in Miami, Florida. My wife, Dossy, loves ribs, so she “made sure” that we got to try this restaurant while on vacation here in Florida. Of course, she ordered her favorite BBQ Back Ribs as their menu says: “finished over our woodshow grill and covered in our BBQ sauce.”We ordered the ribs for my wife and she was in seventh heaven just waiting for them to come. There was no bread or appetizer put on the table and when the ribs came they were just that, ribs covered in thick brown BBQ sauce with a sprinkling of pickles and purple cabbage on the side and a cup of ketchup. There was no doubt that this meal was all about the ribs and that virtually nothing else mattered. Looking at my wife’s happy face, I can almost forgive them for the various service snafus.

Rain on one side, and sunny on the other.
Big sunshine in the middle and flowers all around.
Definitely another standout! ;-)
