Jewish food is not for everyone. A lot of it is seriously lacking in flavor, and seasoning? Well, let’s just say we don’t really go for that sort of thing. This video of people trying various Jewish staples is quite funny, especially to me, since I have plenty of experience will all of those foods. I love the use of the word, “compressed.” If you aren’t careful that’s how your stomach can feel afterward. Now lift a glass of Manischewitz and say, “L’chiam!” as you enjoy this fun clip.
Have you tried any of these? What did you like or dislike?
That means a new week, which in turn means a new start.
I get to start over with my students, and yet again tackle the daunting mountain of paperwork that their education seems to require. I get to laugh with them, lead them, and help them learn.
I get to start again with my colleagues, producing and sharing lessons so that all of our students can learn in ways that are meaningful and helpful to them. I get to explore different ways to share ideas with our students, and I have the opportunity to learn from the experts around me.
I get to start again with my family, sharing my life and my home with them with love and grace. I get to choose how I communicate with them, and what to focus on. I get to set the tone in my home.
I get to start again with my goals and dreams. Will I write this week? Will I sew? Will I make my home more beautiful? Will I lavish attention on my beloved dog? Where will the week take me?
I get to start over with myself. Will I care for myself this week? Will I nurture and love myself? Will I feed myself correctly and push myself to make good decisions, even if they aren’t my preferred choices?
I feel so fortunate that it’s Monday, and that I get a do-over. I hope I use it wisely.
