This shabbat, as we begin to start thinking about Pesach and all the things we have to do to prepare, maybe relax and think about your path to this point, and the choices you made, or didn't make, that led to this moment where you are now.
Don't judge, just consider.
The Decisions That Shape Our Journey: Embracing the Crossroads by Tomer Rozenberg, Published in Leading the Future
"Everything that Jake Cohen cooks is rooted in authenticity, from his #Jewish heritage to his personal #cooking style.

Cohen, who boasts over 1 million Instagram followers and 1.5 million on TikTok, often shares videos that elevate and modernize Jewish cooking. The New Yorker’s focus is providing accessible #recipes for home chefs looking for something that could be made for any occasion."
Despite receiving hate for months because of the owners' support for the Palestinian cause, more than 1,300 people lined up around the block for a Jewish Sabbath meal hosted by Ayat Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn. #NewYork#Jews#Palestinians#Israel#Gaza#Shabbat#Ayat
"The restaurant reaching out to the Jewish community and saying we want to give back, and inviting Jewish people: I think it’s tremendous,” Howard Edelbaum said, over a plate of fish and rice"
"Since early December, anti-#Israel demonstrators have held regular protests on the bridge leading to Armour Heights, referred to by some protestors as a “#Zionist-infested area.” They paraded with placards, including #swastikas, photos of #Hitler and other #antisemitic content, set off smoke bombs, and festooned the sides of the overpass with #Palestinian flags and banners, all of which could dangerously distract drivers below traveling at high speeds on Highway 401, or, even worse, fall on unsuspecting motorists. During their rallies, often held on Saturdays when many local residents walk to nearby #synagogues or are at home for #Shabbat, protestors used loudspeakers to bellow their incendiary chants."
"Sometimes, the only solution to life’s problems is soup. No strangers to hardship, #Jews through the ages have mastered the art of a good pot of soup, be it delicate #Persian gondi to bring in #Shabbat or tangy #Ashkenazi dill pickle soup for cold winter nights.
So, here are 21 #Jewish soup recipes from around the world to soothe your soul, your sore throat (see: Jewish penicillin), your stomach post-Yom Kippur fast, or any other ailment your bubbe is currently losing sleep over."
Pretty drained. Relaxing, listening to the new #zappa “Over-nite Sensation” box set, free drawing on my iPad, and playing with the cats. #Shabbat shalom.
"David Greenfield, CEO of the Met Council and a prominent #Jewish leader, said the protesters, granted access to an event they knew was not #Israel-related, took advantage of the organizers’ welcome “to spread #antisemitic propaganda and stoke fear for those of us who were there to celebrate #Shabbat.”
“This was clearly not about Israel because this was not an Israel event,” Greenfield explained, noting that the organization is the nation’s largest Jewish anti-poverty charity fighting poverty in and beyond the Jewish communities, including providing more than 1.2 million pounds in free Halal food to over 20 Halal food pantries last year. “This was a clear attempt by Pro-#Palestinians to scare and intimidate us on Shabbat because we’re Jewish. This is old fashion antisemitism and is exactly what they mean when they chant ‘globalize the #intifada’”
#TootYourShabbat Lonely #Shabbat with my father travelling. No special food, but I will eat and that counts for something. This #challah photo is from ages ago, but look at the bottom end - signs of a Ketzeleh attack. We also call her Challeleh. #ShabbatShalom
