Ma nishtana ha Pessach ha ze?

What makes this Passover different from all other Passovers? It’s the first one where I’m making my own seder while combining the traditions I grew up experiencing with someone else and his own traditions.
I feel like this is the type of thing we all think about and wonder as kids (ok maybe just those of [...]

A little thing about home(land) cooking.

There is something so completely special - when you can look past the depressing, lonely, sad aspects - about being an olah in Israel, cooking your family’s traditional Passover recipes for your own seder with fellow olim…
My grandmother is far far away, but here I am, across the world, continuing her delicious traditions and [...]

The Computer Engineer’s Haggadah.

Had to share this email I got at work today. Bear with me, I work in the hi tech realm; therefore, I thought this was funny:
