It was totally beyond anything we had ever tasted. It was Continue Reading »

So, we set off for Efrat and had a most wonderful Thanksgiving Shabbat dinner at the home of Amy and Nat. Amy used to be a very successful caterer back in the States, and her kitchen is renowned for the Continue Reading »
