Separating Challa

My daughter Pnina was eating at a restaurant several months ago. Suddenly, she noticed an employee coming out of the kitchen and walking up to a woman who was sitting at a table, eating with her husband and several children.

CREATIVITY CORNER
Insights on the aspect of recreation, re-creation and creativity.
Creative Moments
by Devora Piha

The Jews are an inherently creative people. Hashem, the Master Creator, has given us the potential to emulate Him in different ways. In every moment of our lives we have opportunities to notice and appreciate the wonders of the world. If we sort and rearrange these observations, we come up with our own adaptations and creative ideas.

It defies translation. Straight. Honest. Authentic. True.

THE FLAVOR OF NOSTALGIA
Geula
by A. Reader

Anyone who has ever been to Jerusalem has surely been to Geula and Meah Shearim. They have walked down the busy, bustling, narrow streets which were built for horse and cart, not for innumerable cars and trucks. They have been elbowed amongst the crowds of people speaking a medley of languages; they have been pushed, jostled and even stepped on as if they were invisible. I doubt if there are many people who are not fascinated by the place, even if they find the shopping there a little exhausting.

Little men, little women, real people of all sizes.

MUSIC REVIEW

We said the twenty-seventh chapter of Tehillim from the beginning of Elul and throughout most of the month of Tishrei. Occasionally, a fitting melody can bring out the true heart-and-soul pathos of the words and inspire them with new meaning for us.

Your Medical Questions Answered!
by Joseph B. Leibman, MD

Many of our community work in the food preparation business, and there are hazards there as well. Many bacteria have preferences -- B. Cereus, for one, likes fried rice. Vibrio species like fish. Clinorchis like herring. Tapeworm likes beef. Improper refrigeration and cooking can lead to the proliferation of these microorganisms, with the spread of disease. Foods in "appetizing" stores stay out for a long time with possible dreadful consequences.

POET'S CORNER

A Butterfly's Shadow
by Ruth Fogelman

Across sun-drenched cobblestones,
Butterfly's shadow;
High above my head
Flutters its orange wings.
Butterfly and I
In narrow alley
Of ancient City.

Carry me on your wings,
O orange butterfly.
Carry me to the time
Where peace prevails,
Where our days are renewed
As of Old,

Carry me to the place
Where lion and lamb leap together
In play, and picnic on straw,
Where snake romps
With nursing child
And on a bicycle
Rides an angel.
