Our Challah is shaped and rising on top of the stove.
Shabbat is coming.
We had plenty tonight.
Last week, it would have looked like little, or simple, or would have brought the question "What's for dessert?"
What a difference new lenses make. Tonight we had plenty.
Tomorrow we will have meat for the first time this week, challah, stoemp (potatoes and carrots).
Shabbat will be a feast.
Shabbat Shalom,

From Jan. 26-Feb. 1, 2014, members, staff and clergy of Congregation Shaare Emeth will take the SNAP Challenge and try to live on the average food budget of a Missouri SNAP recipient – just $29.25 per week or less than $1.40 per meal. SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as Food Stamps). Why are we doing this? To raise awareness about the struggles faced by millions of food-insecure households, to experience first-hand how difficult it is to afford nutritious foods, and to renew our commitment to do what we can to put an end to hunger.Please join us by attending one of our hunger events, following our blog as we document our experiences (subscribe by email in the box on the right, subscribe to the blog feed, or check back daily), joining as SNAP Challenge participant and blog author, or participating in an alternate way. Let's all learn a little more about what it's like to live solely on food stamps.
