I really love when families dress up in matching outfits, the Purim seudah stays on theme, and even the mishloach manot complete the motif. This year I'm thinking about going Japanese, but this time, going above and beyond just sushi. Many of us have already done the sushi mishloach manot before, but never the complete package. So here is the idea. Ninja costumes for the whole family: All you need are black clothes, including a turtle neck, and a black hat or ski mask.

I always loved making hamantaschen with my mom and preparing Mishloach Manot, the food gifts we give to friends on the holiday of Purim. Despite my mother’s artistic background—she has a Master of Fine Arts—her idea of a gift basket was an assortment of goods on a paper plate covered in tinfoil, with the recipient’s name written on top with a magic marker. When I started creating my own Mishloach Manot, I didn’t really know there were other creative ways to celebrate the holiday.

This week’s parsha we read of incense burning, clouds of glory, smoke rising from the altar. The fire inspires awe and the smoke adds a sense of mystery. Sometimes you just need to throw down a little smoke at your Shabbos table. Like this Curried Smoked Salmon Fritters with Mango Aioli. Because we all can use a little awe and mystery… Don’t you agree?

Soup is one of the most versatile meals you can make, and when it comes to ease and flexibility, nothing beats a recipe that can be served both hot and cold. Whether you're looking for a light summer meal, a refreshing appetizer, or a hearty bowl of warmth, these quick and easy soups have you covered. As a general rule, chowders are laden with heavy cream and butter. An 8oz serving of your average corn chowder packs 13 grams of fat (6 of which are saturated). It also typically takes an hour to cook.

Parsha Mishpatim sets forth dozens of laws that follow the revelation at Sinai. From laws that govern ethical conduct like the prohibition against murder, assault and theft to laws introducing kashrus and sacrificial offerings. We are the People of the Book, but it is not what we read that defines us as a people. We subscribe to a system of justice that is ancient and eternal. It is a promise and a challenge to live up to the high standards to which we are subject.

Even though my name, Tamar, is hebrew for dates, I only recently became a fan. I had only ever tasted hard sticky (stale) dates that I didn't much care for. Then last year, when I was in Israel, a trainer at the gym told me to eat dates before and/or after my workout. Turns our they are on every pre workout list because of their quick energy boost from sugar balanced out with their fiber and potassium. So I figured it was time to give them another shot.
