Besides the fact that my blog has done none of the above (unless, looking for ways to make tuition more affordable, putting forward ideas on how to save money on Pesach or Weddings, and talking about common tax issues is bashing gedolim--I don't think so), it is ridiculous to stick our heads in the sand and pretend everything is hunky dorry because our Gedolim aren't currently dealing with these issues.<BR/><BR/>And, yes, allowing kids to destroy property while looking the other way is, in the mind of a child, a sure sign that we endorse behavior. <BR/><BR/>Charlie--Looking for more guests? I love dairy foods! Also, unfortunately, not all Sephardim eat rice.

We are serving fish. (Our kitchen, even for Pesach, is dairy/pareve.) We also have shmurah matzah made of wheat, spelt, and oats!<BR/><BR/>What I'd really like to serve is RICE!

(And apparently have ticked off a few people!) I know we talked about the classroom vandalism issue when the school I worked at was also regularly trashed and graffitied by the high school boys. The response I got when I contacted the principal was, "Just call the cleaning company to take care of it." No concern about the middos or halacha involved. <BR/><BR/>It is unfortunate that so many in the frum world are see constructive criticism of our community as a threat or "bashing Gedolim," and immediately rejecting any solutions because it involves admitting a problem. This situation happened - so either deal with it in a Torah-appropriate way or else the community is stating that the Torah lifestyle allows it!

Our charoset uses apples, raisins, almonds, and wine. There are so many versions, including some with bananas and prunes I think.<BR/><BR/>We eat meat patties made with leeks, called Prasa (Ladino for Leeks). We also eat some Ashkenazi foods for good measure too, like matzah ball soup.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to hear about your customs too!<BR/><BR/>Eshet Chayil-I read your version.

Couple this with the drinking on Purim and you begin to wonder what is being taught. It definately isn't what I was taught!<BR/><BR/>So what are you cooking for pesach?Lamb? Out of couriosity - what is in your charoset? I'm fascinated by all the different versions. Like you I'm Sephard but have realized over the years that there are so many different things put in that there isn't one sephard charost.<BR/><BR/>Have a CHAG SAMEACH V'KASHER.queeniesmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019952170168937114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-1144608775803518522006-04-09T14:52:00.000-04:002006-04-09T14:52:00.000-04:00Charlie-I believe that the halacha does.

Somehow,we have accepted their roles as shtadlanim when in fact many Gentile politicians understand our needs and problems in a far more profound manner over the years. Think of Senators Borah, Humphrey, Jackson and Moynihan. Think of Nixon and Reagan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
