What is the rest [...]

Passover Kosher Wine Recommendations

31, Mar 2009

Share Jewish holidays are full of wine. On Shabbat, evening and morning, Jews say the kiddush (sanctification) blessing over wine. On Jewish holidays, we also say the blessings over wine.

Passover – The Holiday of Wine

26, Mar 2009

Share I’ll post my updated comments (including some notes about Jewish law) for this year with my Passover wine recommendations later in the week.

Passover – A Great Excuse to Try Israeli Wines

15, Apr 2008

Share Passover: The Holiday of Wine The upcoming holiday of Passover means just one thing: a chance to explore lots of excellent wine. The obligation to drink four cups of wine at the Passover seder, as well as during Shabbat and throughout the holiday is a great opportunity to explore some of Israel’s finest kosher [...]

America has coffee but Israel has wine

9, Apr 2008

Share For American Jews, the haggadah that they may have used at their Passover seders may have been the Maxwell House Haggadah (and if it still is, might I suggest a replacement!) – old, stale, dumbed down, and boring. And, above all, about coffee. Of course, it was a brilliant marketing move by Maxwell House, [...]
