Parshas Vaera

In this weeks Parsha, we start learning about the ten Makkos- plagues with which Hashem punished the Mitzrim.  The first makka is the makka of 'dam'- blood.  

Only the Jews water remained as water.  Everyone else's turned to blood.  

Wishing you a wonderful shabbos!

Parshas Shmos

Hashem appears to Moshe in a burning bush and commands him to go back to Egypt and ask Paroh to let the Jews go.

This is a cookie shaped into a bush placed on Riches Whip as the burning fire.

May you have a wonderful blessed Shabbos!

Parshas Shmos 2

Yocheved sends her little Moshe down the Nile river (as per Parohs decree) in a little basket.

Have a wonderful Shabbos!

Parshas Vayechi

When Yaakov bleessed his Grandchildren Efrayim and Menashe, he crossed his arms blessing the oldest (Menashe) with his left hand and the younger (Efrayim) with his right hand. It should have been the other way round, oldest with right hand and younger with left. When Yosef asked his father, Yaakov tells Yosef that even though both sons will have holy descendants, he's giving Efraim the extra push because he knows that in the future a descendant of Efraim will be so great that he'll freeze the sun in the sky as he leads the conquest of Canaan. This great leader is none other than Yehoshua bin Nun

Parshas Vayigash

Parshas Vayigash

In this weeks Parsha Yosef reveals to his brothers who he is and asks them to bring their father and families down to Mitzrayim as there is a famine and Mitzrayim had food.  

These satchels represent the move down to Mitzrayim.

Hope you have a wonderful blessed Shabbos!

Parshas Mikeitz

WOW I didnt thinik this weeks parsha dessert was going to happen!
From flopped recipes to retrying and then never actually being able to put pen to paper- or rather finger to keyboard... well I am happy to say that BH I have Parsha dessert and photos done!

In this weeks Parsha Yosef hides his goblet in Binyamins bag as his brothers are about to leave Mitzrayim and has him arrested for thievery.  He did this to keep Binyamin in Mitzrayim.

I found these cute disposable 'goblets' at a party shop.  Now I had to make the moose.  When ever I make chocolate moose I like to look for egg free recipes.  

I happened upon this recipe.  A 2 ingredient chocolate moose recipe.  Accompanied with a video and a whole scientific explanation why chocolate melted into hot water and whipped should actually work.  It didn't.  But I wouldnt call the result a complete flop.  I exchanged some of the water for chocolate liquor and the result albeit a bit runny tasted something a kin to a chocolate don pedro. really yummy.  For those who would rather stick to the original idea of chocolate moose,  there is a yummy version on gourmet kosher cooking (recipe over here) that works well.  I find it a bit sweet but very yummy. 

Hope you have a wonderful Shabbos.  

Parshas Vayeshev

In Parshas Vayeshev, Yosef really upsets his brothers and they decide to punish him by killing him.  Reuven however, convinced them to rather throw Yosef into a pit filled with snakes and scorpions instead.

This is Yosef in the pit surrounded by snakes (no scorpion shaped sweets).  

I made a chocolate chiffon cake as the ground and pit, covered with chocolate gnache, and for Yosef I made ginger bread men.  

have a wonderful Shabbos!
