by Diane Joy SchmidtAnother month has passed and the fear of the assault on American democracy has spilled over us while edicts issued from the Oval office a month ago seem like a year ago. Is the coalescence of governing forces today pushing the United States toward rule by oligarchy under an AI-driven corporate American, Christian Nationalist regime profiting from its control of power?

I had a series of dreams. One night I dreamt that a bull calf came to the east door, and I brought him inside because he was lost. I kept him in my bedroom until his owners came along for him. The next night I dreamed I was excavating a stream bed and found drawings of images of fishes, groups of two and three repeated, then I heard a flute playing and the musical notes repeated in twos and threes, the music illuminating these strange ideograms.

Coming up to Shavuot this year, we asked the community for blintz recipes. Since none arrived, I offer mine. This is the recipe from a family cookbook my sisters Barbara, Janet and I made for my mother's birthday. Putting together the cookbook was Barbara's idea and she drew the pictures.
