Italian Rainbow Cookies- The Healthier Way! | Kosher Recipes and Jewish Table Settings. Simple Plastic Bottle Flower Ornaments. Plastic bottle flowers are simple to make and so much fun! They make sweet ornaments hanging singly as I've shown here, though the possibilities are endless. Bouquets, wreaths, centerpieces, chandeliers.....these are just a few of the things that you could make with plastic bottle flowers! I can't decide if I like the visible bottle nozzle or not, but if it bothers you, you could certainly make some leaves from fabric or paper and use those as a cover up, or you could take the small flower made from the bottom of the bottle and glue that over the nozzle. Have fun, and by the way, these would be great Succah ornaments, especially for those of you who live in areas where it often rains.

Reflect on life choices 2011 As part of Turku, Finland’s 2011 European Capital of Culture events, Candy Chang was invited to create a public art project near the University of Turku.
A local pedestrian/bike path is nicknamed Uraputki (“Career Path”) because it is a popular route that students take from their residences to the university, to get a degree to get a job. To provide perspective, she turned the path into an interactive space with prompts that invite people to share what they wanted to be when they were little and what they want to be today. The prompts are stenciled on the pavement in Finnish, Swedish, and English. Passersby can use colored chalk to write directly on the pavement and reflect upon their larger life choices and how they’ve changed or stayed the same. What made you come alive as a child and why?

Mezuzah And you shall write [the words that I command you today] on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
-Deuteronomy 6:9, 11:19 On the doorposts of traditional Jewish homes (and many not-so-traditional homes!) , you will find a small case like the one pictured at left. The mitzvah to place mezuzot on the doorposts of our houses is derived from Deut. 6:4-9, a passage commonly known as the Shema (Heb: Hear, from the first word of the passage). The scroll must be handwritten in a special style of writing and must be placed in the case to fulfill the mitzvah. The case and scroll are then nailed or affixed at an angle to the right side doorpost as you enter the building or room, with a small ceremony called Chanukkat Ha-Bayit (dedication of the house - yes, this is the same word as Chanukkah, the holiday celebrating the rededication of the Temple).
Why is the mezuzah affixed at an angle? It is proper to remove a mezuzah when you move, and in fact, it is usually recommended. Tefillin. Judaism 101. Jewgle. Giving Jews a sporting chance. Paper Party Decorations Part 1: Perfect For The Succah. Aren't these cute?

I don't know about you, but this is my perfect vision of summer! Well of course I'd like to be sitting next to a beautiful lake with an iced coffee, but for now I'm quite happy sitting next to our largish wading pool with a gorgeous mountain view beyond.
You see, when you need to watch your kids in the pool, there's nothing better than a little (or a lot in my case) crocheting! In fact I'm probably the only mother begging her kids to get into the pool, so that I can have an excuse to relax with my current favorite craft! If you're wondering what ever happened to the crocheting with t-shirt yarn, well suffice it to say I ran out of yarn, and my little rug turned out to be so lopsided that I had to tear about 1/3 of it out. Not to worry, you'll see the results sometime. Now back to the sheets! Now before you start dreaming of crocheted rugs everywhere, I should tell you that you'll need quite a few sheets!

OneShul — One G-d, One Torah, One Shul. Bad Hebrew Tattoos: Misspelling Gods Name. Today we have a very untalented speller. This guy was going for a simple (but very visible) Hebrew "God" tattoo.
Well, this is what he got: If you wanted to know just how bad one can misspell "God", this would be your answer. This spelling lacks the letter He, has a randomly added Ayin in the middle, and the Mem isn't in its final form. Also, completely unrelated Nikkud under the Alef. It looks as if this guy knew how the word was supposed to sound in Hebrew, and tried to transliterate it on his own. Never a good idea! I bet God is none too happy about this ridiculous treatment of his name.
Want to translate "God" correctly to Hebrew? StumbleUpon. Yiddish, shmiddish--why do we repeat a word but start it... A Staff Report from the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board February 12, 2002 Dear Straight Dope: What is the origin of the practice of a dispraging a word by saying the word than dropping the first letter and replacing it with "schm? " For example, if you don't like baseball, you would say "baseball schmaseball. " It comes from Yiddish, of course. Yiddish was the language of eastern European (or Ashkenazic) Jews.
Yiddish uses the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and is written from right to left (like Hebrew.) Around the tenth century, Jews from what is now northern France, who spoke Old French (and Hebrew), moved to towns along the Rhine, where they began to use the local German dialect, which they adopted and adapted. As Yiddish developed, there was obviously a heavy Hebrew influence (names, holidays, religious matters). Yiddish did evolve, of course, but independently.
Yiddish is only one of the many vernacular languages fashioned by Jews throughout the ages. And (finally, we get to it!) MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD IN THE HOLOCAUST by Judith Jagermann. At the age of seven I knew already that we're different from ourneighbours. We lived in Karlsbad, where I was also born. It was Sukkoth (Feast of Tabernacles) and my Papa had just beenbusy making a "Sukka" in the yard of the house where we lived andwhere my parents had a big kosher restaurant. When all of asudden, stones were thrown from the neighbours' windows. I wasterribly scared and asked Papa why they did this to us. He saidonly softly " Because we are Jews". That was in the year 1937. We stayed for another two years in Karlsbad, after which we had toflee from the Germans to Prague. Many houses bore captions in large letters: " Do not buy in Jewishshops" or "Jews get out". One day, when I was eleven and a half years old, Mama received aprinted summon, instructing us to appear at Prague's ExhibitionHalls, in order to join a "transport" (i.e. the actualdeportation convoy of human beings to the concentration camps)which would drag us into the unknown.

“Never let lack of money interfere with having fun.” ~Unknown Back when we were young, we may have asked our parents for money to do things, but more often than not, we found creative ways to have fun without spending a dime. At least I know I did. My cousins and I turned their bulkhead cellar doors into a slide—and the main attraction of our DIY amusement park. We turned cardboard paper towel rolls and rice-filled soda bottles into instruments, and entertained ourselves for hours on end. OK, maybe not hours, but you get the point. We didn’t wait for overtime or vacation weeks to have fun. I highly doubt I’d spend one of my adult Saturdays banging on a homemade coffee can drum, but there’s something to said for getting a little creative with your downtime. If you’re looking for some cheap, creative ways to enjoy the weekend—or perhaps an upcoming weekday you’ve chosen to liberate—I recommend: Have Fun Outside 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
