Matzah Kugel never tasted so good…
Wednesday, 21 December 2011
After many experiments, Jamie has perfected her Matzah Fruit Kugel recipe. In my opinion, it is the best Passover dish I have ever tasted. Well, Ok, the second best. Her chocolate-chip meringue cookies ARE the best. But this recipe is mighty close. Please try it while it is still Passover. TRY IT SOON.

Hava Nagila…

“Surrender… or else!”

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday reiterated that the world body expects Israel to immediately surrender to internationally-backed Arab demands that it relinquish all claims to the Jews’ biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria and half of their ancient capital of Jerusalem.
