The Six Degrees of Kosher Bacon
1) Smart Bacon: Made by Life Light, Smart Bacon is completely non-dairy, giving it the versatility to be used in both Meat and Dairy recipes. Though it is not bad, Smart Bacon is less like bacon and more like soy with bacon flavoring.

Israel should NOT be the only issue
I often hear that people vote for a particular candidate over another one is their stance towards Israel. “Oh, he’s great for Israel, he’s got my vote” or “They are terrible towards Israel - no way!” When did the Jewish vote start to focus on a single issue?

Blonde or Brunette?
Unfortunately, people’s brains are in their eyes. They believe only what they see, and not much more. Growing up in the Persian community of Great Neck, New York, this is all too true. Too many families have houses they can barely afford, cars they can barely afford, and take out loans and [...]

Tehina, Chummus, Turkish salad and.. Babaganewz?
Nope, it’s not a typo. It’s the fun kids’ website that I chanced upon while on indoor recess duty in the computer lab the other day.

Next up………. Richardson
Alright, my plan to write up info on the most popular candidates has fallen to the way side because I just have to talk about my man Richardson before he might drop out. CNN reported after tonight’s 4th place stance his team may be heading back to NM to “rethink” things. I think they are [...]

Labels for the checklist
“The Back Alley Approach”
There was a post about categorizing people for dating purposes. I am not a fan of labels, or conforming to “ the man.” I want to share an experience that helped shape the way I do things today.
I was having a conversation with a rabbi who asked me, “Why do you do [...]
