Passover Promises: 4 Cups of Wine

Passover Promises

Happy Passover - hope you have a hag v'kasher Pesach and spend quality time with your family and friends. 

On Passover, we drink 4 cups of wine among other traditions. The four cups mean:

1. I will bring you out 
2. I will deliver/free you 
3. I will redeem you 
4. I will take you (as my people)

While, you may not receive Passover items before the end of Passover, I want to share a few designs with you. Please click on the images for more information

3 Passover Gifts to Keep or Give Away

3 Passover Gifts to Keep or Give Away

It's almost Rosh Chodesh Nisan, and right behind that is Passover. I get very emotional during this time of year because 1 Nisan is when I light a yahrzeit candle for my dad (z'l).

I'm still working on Passover cleaning ... is it ever done? How about you? 

Here are 3 suggestions for Passover gifts you can keep or give to another family member, friend or a newlywed couple. (Click on the images for more info) 

Personalized Matzah Spring Table Runner - I added a spring floral element and a personalization option. 

Funny Passover Platter - Family Trauma - my business coach helped me come up with this design. It think it's hysterical. 

The final selection is my handmade Passover seder necklace and earrings set. The earrings were popular last year.  

I know it's early, but I hope your Passover celebration is filled with love, joy, laughter, and meaningful moments.

And here's Sammy's rule:

Purim and Pesach: Two Sides of the Same Coin

Purim and Pesach: Two Sides of the Same Coin

Purim begins at sundown on Mon., March 2, 2026. 

Whether it be Queen Esther or Moshe, our champions were brave figures who challenged the decrees of royalty to protect and defend their people. They were called to take a stand, risking their own lives by doing so. Rather than shirk from this responsibility, they set an example of leadership through the ages.

I haven't tried it, but here's a Hamantaschen recipe from The Nosher. 

Passover is a joyful celebration of the Jewish people’s redemption from slavery, where we re-tell the story of slavery and freedom. These two holidays are the earliest accounts of antisemitism, which sadly, still exists worldwide today.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

I know it's not a pleasant topic, but this is important! Since anti-semitism is rising around the world, it is more important than ever for us to recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history as we commemorate the victims and honor the survivors.

Since anti-semitism is rising around the world, it is more important than ever for us to recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history as we commemorate the victims and honor the survivors. 

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is Jan 27. It's the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau— is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. (Note: there were millions of non-Jews who were also victims.) 

At the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and other commemoration sites, we remember Holocaust victims by reading their names, by lighting candles, and by learning about the Holocaust. All of us can mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day by sharing the truth of the Holocaust and by confronting antisemitism and hate in our daily lives.

Honoring Growth This Tu Bishvat on Feb. 1

Honoring Growth This Tu Bishvat on Feb. 1

Tu Bishvat, the Jewish New Year for Trees, invites us to pause and reflect on growth — the kind that happens quietly, over time, and with care.

It’s a reminder of the roots that ground us: our families, our traditions, and the values we carry forward.

Tu Bishvat is a word like Hanukkah; you can spell it Tu Bishvat or Tu B'Shevat. Whatever spelling you use, the correct pronunciation is Too Bish-VAHT. 

To honor this season, I’ve created a few meaningful pieces designed to be used and treasured year after year. 

A Tree of Life necklace symbolizing connection, strength, and continuity. 

Whether you’re marking Tu Bishvat in a big way or a simple one, these pieces are meant to bring intention and beauty into your home — today and for many seasons to come.

Tu Bishvat platter, perfect for sharing fruit, gathering around the table, and creating new memories rooted in tradition.

Wishing you growth and renewal this Tu Bishvat, and every day!

The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom Book Review

I'm really excited about this book and thought I'd write a different type of blog post.

The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom 

I couldn't put this book down. It's amazing that a fictional character was created so lifelike that I had to keep checking to see that it was a "novel." Albom interwove comments from 'real' musicians (eg, a member of Kiss) in the story." Frankie's character is so present & talented; this novel brought me to tears at the end of his life.

It reminded me of Clarence, the angel from It's a Wonderful Life telling George Bailey's life story with Elvis singing in the background.

It's a lovely story about talent, gratitude, healing and recovery.

The Jewish Perspective on Essential Health Tips

The Jewish Perspective on Essential Health Tips 

Each morning we say a blessing that thanks God for “straightening the bent over.” It’s a beautiful reminder that our bodies matter — that how we stand, move, and care for ourselves is part of our spiritual life too. When we stretch, breathe, or move in ways that release tension and pain, we’re not just taking care of our bodies — we’re honoring that daily prayer in a real way. 

Maimonides, the 12th century Spanish torah scholar writes in the Mishneh Torah about the importance of exercise and healthy, measured eating. For example, he states that a person “should engage one’s body and exert oneself in a sweat-producing task each morning.” 

I believe mental health plays a role too. Looking at beautiful nature scenes reminds us to be grateful for our lives. There's another blessing "Modah ani" which we say when we arise, thanking G-d for returning our soul to our bodies, again expressing gratitude. 

Tu Bishvat Fruit Towel

In the 20th Century, Rav Kook, the Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Jerusalem, taught that true spiritual growth can’t happen without physical wellbeing. He believed that caring for the body is part of teshuvah — returning to our best selves. When our bodies are strong and supported, our spirits can rise too. Healthy movement, steady breath, and strength in our bodies help create clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection to who we are meant to be. 

Laughter is also a part of health; it decreases blood pressure by reducing stress hormones and releasing endorphins that increase relaxation. It also decreases inflammation in the arteries.
