After Passover, people wonder what to do with the leftover matzah. Some easy suggestions are to make appetizers using broken pieces of the cracker to serve with slices of cheese, cheese spreads or sauces from avocado and tomato. Adding salt and chopped herbs like oregano, basil, and dill, will add to the flavor. By making a fine powder or breadcrumbs in the food processor, you can thicken sauces and make cakes and cookies, bread chicken and fish and add to meat loaf and meatballs instead of breadcrumbs. Use the large pieces for lasagna,...
(JNS, Dimona, Israel) - Amid the soot-covered ruins of a home in southern Israel demolished by an Iranian ballistic missile, the wedding ring was found. It was just a day earlier when Dorit Azran and her 29-year-old son, Dor, along with their two dogs-all sheltering in their safe room at the time of the missile impact-escaped unscathed from the home. "It was a visible miracle," Dor recounts of the harrowing ordeal when the missile, packed with half a ton of explosives, slammed into the yard...

Gen. Eyal Zamir said on Sunday.

Mom: Tell me about your day at school. Little girl: We went outside for a fire drizzle! So goes the first report of a new and strange weather phenomenon. And certainly not the first innocent misunderstanding experienced by a child or even by an adult. This was in 1956. Back then, Art Linkletter’s show had a segment called “Kids say the darndest things” in which he interviewed children. Its popularity led to a bestselling book by the same title. Kids often say funny things because they mishe...
(JNS) — A humble childhood, a meteoric rise to power, a fatal love affair, a confrontation with a giant. It’s no surprise that the life of King David, as told in the biblical book of Samuel, has attracted generations of filmmakers, with the second king of Israel played by Gregory Peck and Richard Gere, among others. More recently, the first season of “House of David” drew 22 million viewers in its first two weeks on Amazon Prime last year, with a second season released on March 27. David also features in a new animated musical and a four-pa...

There's an FAQ on the website of the London theater where the Kadimah Yiddish Theatre of Melbourne's production of Yentl is running through April 16. The very first item reads: Is this a stage version of the 1983 musical film starring Barbara Streisand? No - the London production of Yentl is a play. It is a new adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer's 1962 short story, "Yentl the Yeshiva Boy" - just like the Streisand film was at the time. This explanation does more than relieve box office staff...
