Resources and articles on Jewish Food
In promoting vegetarianism since 1977, I have been arguing that Jews have a choice as to whether or not to be vegetarians. In support of the view that Jews need not eat meat today is the Talmud (Pesachim 109a states that since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, Jews are not required to eat meat in order to rejoice on festivals), scholarly articles by Rabbi Alfred Cohen and Rabbi J. David Bleich that indicate additional sources and arguments supporting the view that Jews do not need to eat meat in this period, and the fact that several Chief Rabbis are strict vegetarians.

Hannukah is a GREAT reason for party. In fact, you can have a great celebration without having to put much thought into the content or preplanned activities. Just put out the traditional "latkes" (potato pancakes) and/or the "sufganiot" (jelly doughnuts) and you'll attract participants from miles around (who would pass up free food?). You can even throw in a candle-lighting ceremony complete with the blessings in whatever language, some group singing, and there you go... POOF! A Hannukah party!
The End.

One of the greatest problems concerning the Passover holiday is keeping kosher. Keeping kosher is difficult for many of us in the best of times, but when Passover arrives, it becomes total confusion. I will try in a small way to explain the rudiments of it all. This is not intended as comprehensive guide to keeping kosher (which is not within the scheme of my expertise.) If you wish to delve into greater detail please consult you local Rabbi.

"Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow is Monday" is not exactly a Jewish concept, but this is one holiday where we are told go out and get smashed. Many reasons are given. One relates to the message that you are to let yourself go totally, showing trust in no one but God. Another reminds us that during the Feast of Ahasuerus many Jews took part, getting plastered with all that followed.
