PASSOVER RECIPES Looking for some new ideas for Passover cooking?

Below are recipes of Charoset from around the world.

Also, check out this link for more ideas. https://shar.es/amJtSg

From Louise Fiszer and Jeannette Ferrary’s Jewish Holiday Feasts

From Edda Servi Machlin’s Classic Italian Jewish Cooking Passover Fruit and Nut Balls (Charoset Edda)

Dried Cherry and Pear Haroset ½ cup dried pitted cherries

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ cup diced dried pears

1 tsp freshly grated gingerroot

½ lb pitted dates

½ tsp cinnamon

½ lb walnut meats

1/8 tsp ground cloves

3 large apples, cored and peeled 1 tbsp lemon juice

1 cup walnut pieces

2 tbsp sugar, or to taste

2 fresh pears, peeled, cored, and cut into small pieces

½ cup kosher for Passover sweet red wine

1 large whole seedless orange, unpeeled, washed

Matza meal, as needed

3 ripe large bananas

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa

1/3 cup sweet Malaga wine

¼ cup vanilla-flavored sugar or can use just confectioners’ sugar***

½ tsp fresh lemon juice

Process ingredients in a food processor until a rough paste is formed. Taste and adjust sugar if necessary.

Chop the dates, walnuts, apples, and whole oranges very fine and place in a bowl. Peel and mash the bananas and add to the bowl. Add the wine, cinnamon, cloves, and lemon juice and mix well. Add enough matza meal to make a mortar-like paste.

Mix together the cocoa and confectioners’ sugar. Make little balls out of the paste and roll in the cocoa/sugar mixture. Serves 12 – 20.

From Joan Nathan’s Jewish Cooking In America

Libyan Haroset

¼ cup walnuts

1 cup pitted dates

¼ cup pecans

1 ½ tsp cinnamon

¼ cup almonds

1 ½ tsp allspice

¼ cup hazelnuts

1 tsp nutmeg

½ cup raisins

1 tsp nutmeg

***Vanilla-flavored sugar is made of 2 cups confectioners’ sugar and 2 whole vanilla beans, cut into 1-inch sections. Place the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla beans into an airtight glass jar and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 weeks before using. Sift just the quantity of sugar you need, then replenish the jar with equal amounts of new sugar.

Return any pieces of beans that you might find in the sifter into the jar, cover tightly, and put aside until next time. Replace the beans with new ones every 3-4 months.

1 cup pitted dates Combine all the ingredients using a mortar and pestle or a food processor. Serve the charoset with romaine lettuce as the bitter herb. Makes about 3 cups.

News & Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah

Seder is about breaking free from the things that bind us and push us to explore fresh new ways to connect with God and our Jewish tradition.

Have you heard the one about cutting the end off the brisket? It goes something like this…a woman was teaching her newly married son how to prepare her world famous brisket recipe. “…add these spices and rub it well into the meat, add the sauce and turn it three times to absorb all the delicious juices, and finally before cooking, cut the ends off the meat”. The son replied, “I understand everything, but why do we cut the ends?”. The mother responded, “it’s an old family trick, my mother did this, my grandmother did this, and her mother before her…” That night the son had a dream that his great grandmother came to him, to bless him. The son curiously asked: what is the secret of the brisket, why do we cut off the ends of the meat?” She replied, “because my blessed one, the pan I used was too small for the meat, so I had to cut off the ends to make it fit” and with that, he awoke.

The lesson, sometimes our sacred practices come from old habits, or as a dear colleague Cantor Judith Schiff once said to me “Yesterday’s oops, is tomorrow’s tradition” Passover is coming and already many of us are starting to clean out the hametz from our homes. There are many Halachic rules around food during the holiday. Most commonly known “we do not eat hametz on Pesach”. Torah prohibits the eating of leaven during the festival of Passover (Exodus 12:15-20). The word “hametz ”is translated as leavened bread and refers to food prepared from five species of grain–wheat, barley, oats, spelt, and rye–that has been allowed to leaven.

Customs arose in the medieval France where Ashkenazi rabbis added kitniyot (Hebrew word meaning legumes. Durring

Passover it takes on a broader meaning, referring to grains and seeds such as rice, corn, sunflower seed, seasame seeds, soybeans, peas, and lentils, in addition to legumes) to the list probably because they could be ground into flour resembling rice, chickpeas, popcorn, millet, lentils, edamame, corn on the cob: These have all been off the table for hundreds of years. Mizrahi & Sephardic rabbis have never added these restrictions stating that kitniyot are not — and never were — hametz.

In late 2015, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards (CJLS), the legal body of the Conservative movement, voted on and reiterated this stance, permitting the eating of kitniyot on Passover. Kitniyot are not — and never were — hametz.

So, can we eat humus and popcorn on Passover? The answer is “yes”! And, “maybe” because while we may, for many it just feels wrong, because family tradition is very powerful. Often much more powerful than actual Jewish law. Our personal practices, what we do tends to be our Halacha because often it makes us feel connected to our parents and grandparents, and that is what becomes sacred practice; its cutting off the ends of the brisket.

This year, for the TBT congregational seder, we are breaking a bit from tradition; in lieu of grandma’s brisket, we are working with the folks at Martin's Garden at Coleman Farms and offering a fresh Farm-To-Table Seder meal. And while the Seder service experience will follow the tradition of the Haggadah narrative, we will be experimenting with some of the symbols and a meal which will include some kitniyot. Check out the menu, we hope that you will find it beautiful and intriguing.

Hag Kasher V’Sameach!

News & Happenings from Temple Beth Tikvah

NOTES FROM CANTOR KASSEL PASSOVER THOUGHTS HOW DO REFORM JEWS RELATE TO THE THEME OF “REDEMPTION” & GOD AS OUR “REDEEMER” We sing so many of our prayers and Seder songs in Hebrew - which can lead to thinking more broadly about general themes rather than specific words. But if we looked more closely at the translations of these prayers and songs, how comfortable would we be singing, in English, phrases such as:

God is my Rock and my Redeemer.

Adonai will save Jacob, and redeem him …….

God who redeems the oppressed.

I think most of us find it easier to talk about other aspects of God (God, the Creator of all; God who loves us and gives us the Torah) than to discuss the redemptive powers of God. Yet, this redemptive quality of God permeates our sacred texts, liturgy and content of the Haggadah. It’s also possible that to us, words such as “Redeemer” and “Savior” have Christological associations and are therefore more uncomfortable to use.

Notes from the new Reform Machzor (High Holy Day prayerbook)

Remarkably, our Sages insist that this power (God’s redemptive power) revealed in the liberation of the Israelite slaves, is still with us today. But after the Holocaust – in a world rife with violence, hatred, and suffering – how can we say “our Sovereign saves us from tyranny”? Perhaps our continued survival and our enduring Jewish commitment - testify to the existence of a redemptive force beyond ourselves. God “saves” us by implanting in us the will to live, the desire to resist oppression, and the determination to liberate all who are enslaved.

Throughout the Torah and our prayers, different aspects of God are revealed to us, and our challenge is to emulate the best of these.

As God is compassionate, gracious slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness, and forgiving……..so should we strive to be.

As God has created the world with love and care – so should we strive to take care of it.

As God has redeemed us from slave status to that of free people – so should we take an active role in freeing the oppressed.

I wish you all a sweet and meaningful Pesach, and a willingness to dig deeper into the Haggadah to, as we are commanded, personalize the experience.

YOUTH GROUP Thank you to everyone who came and supported HOTTY at our 4 th Annual Camp Jenny Bingo Fundraiser last month. Together we raised $3300 which will send 6 kids to Camp Jenny this Memorial Day weekend!

We know it’s easy to keep our young kids entertained in the Passover seder – they like dipping things, making the sandwich, reciting the four questions, and searching for the Afikomen. But, how do we keep our teens engaged during a Passover seder? Here’s a few ideas: Before the seder begins – get your teen to help…There are many new traditions (think “orange on the seder plate”) that people celebrate at a Passover seder. Have your teen research some of them and present them during the seder. Does your teen like to cook? Have your teen prepare one of the dishes for the seder or the meal.

Encourage them to look up a different style of one of the dishes, like charoset, and make two different kinds for everyone to try.

Is your teen artistic? Ask them to create original place cards for each person coming to your seder.

If you’re hosting the seder, allow your teen to lead all or part of the seder. There are many different ways to make your seder engaging and more activity based. In place of reading parts of the story, have your teen come up with an activity to lead during a part of the seder. Teens like to talk! So, minimize some of the reading and instead, provide questions related to the themes of Passover for the table to discuss at certain points. Here’s one example: “What would you pack if you had to leave your home on a moment’s notice with just the space of a small backpack?”

Finally, don’t forget to have fun – one of my favorite memories as a college student was when our Hillel rabbi threw out items into the crowd for each of the plagues (stuffed frogs, ice for boils, you get the idea…)! Chag Sameach!

TBT Adult Education and Sisterhood Present: Rosh Chodesh—A Woman’s Circle Led by Dr. Terry Segal Terry Segal graduated Summa cum laude with a Ph.D. in Energy Medicine from Greenwich University, Australia, at a sister University in the United States. She holds a Master of Arts Degree in Educational Psychology from California State UniversityNorthridge, as well as a Master of Arts Degree in Theatre from the University of Miami, Florida.

A licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, in Georgia and California, Dr. Segal maintains a private practice in Georgia. Dr. Segal writes a monthly column, in its seventh year, for the Atlanta Jewish Times. It’s titled: New Moon Meditations and offers spirituality and a meditation focus for meaningful observance of Rosh Chodesh in current life.

Rosh Chodesh is the celebration of the new moon and the new month, according to the Jewish calendar. Rosh Chodesh has long been recognized as a women’s holiday. In midrash Pirke DeRabbi Elezer, Chapter 45, we are told that in the incident of the Golden Calf, the women refused to relinquish their earnings to the men who were building the calf. As a reward, God gave them an extra holy day each month, free from work.

The women of TBT will gather to explore the issues women care about most, such as body image, friendship, relationships, family and more. Our themes will be based on each Jewish month and will be explored through discussions, arts & crafts, creative ritual, games, drama, cooking and more.

The program will be held on the Tuesdays, closest to Rosh Chodesh from 7:30—9:00 PM at TBT. April 9, May 7, June 4. Wine and

light refreshments will be served. Sign up at www.bethtikvah.com

B’NAI MITZVAH Ethan William Honeycutt will be called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah on April 27, 2019. He is the son of Tracy and Karen Honeycutt and the brother to Ashton. He is also the grandson to Stanley and Bobbie Kopkin and Eddie and Ann Honeycutt. Ethan is in the 7th grade at Simpson Middle School where he is in all AC classes and is a part of the chamber orchestra.

His hobbies include playing basketball, playing card and video games with his friends, playing the cello and riding with the Trojan mountain bike team.

For Ethan's Mitzvah project he took our family's love of cycling and partnered with Bearings Bike Shop. Bearings Bike Shop is a youth development organization where kids in Atlanta can earn and maintain a bicycle while developing the skills and character essential to success in adulthood. He raised $2,000 and received donations including helmets, bike lights and locks.

Our family took all of the generous donations down to the bike shop and presented them to the team. They were more than thrilled and our hearts were full.

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

(pledges as of 3/25/19)

Our Annual Campaign is well underway. TBT’s Annual Giving Campaign remains the backbone of a strong financial base for our congregation. While dues and tuition help pay for the much of the cost to run the synagogue, we also rely on philanthropic annual gifts from TBT congregants. These gifts allow us to provide wonderful programming and engagement opportunities for our congregational community. Please join us on our journey to 100% community participation in our Temple’s Annual Giving Campaign. We still have another month of the campaign to go and we gratefully welcome whatever gift you are comfortable giving. To those who have already pledged their gift to Temple Beth Tikvah, we say Todah Rabbah—thank you!
