A Chanukah Treat

When a band has good chemistry, it’s a guarantee for a lively show. This past Tuesday my family was lucky enough to tap into the energy of 8th Day.  Just being in the crowd with these guys jumping around the stage was enough to get everyone singing along!  It was a beautiful Chanukah treat for the whole community.

Watching the brothers Shmuel and Bentzi Marcus, and their passion, reminded me of my own family. We’re pretty much music oriented, with my husband, Aron, on the drums and my son, Mendel, on the guitar.  I love getting a glimpse of that same family energy when my husband and son ‘jam’ together.

Herzog Food & Wine to benefit Renewal

Last night I attended the Herzog Food & Wine Tasting to benefit Renewal on the Tribeca Rooftop in NYC it was a gala event at which many of New York & New Jersey’s finest Kosher restaurants presented their latest dishes alongside premium wine from Herzog Wine Cellars.

I was proud to be a sponsor for the cause.  Renewal is an organization that matches kidney donors with kidney recipients.

It was a spectacular evening with lots of surprises and beautiful touches.

At the event, I was approached by Peshie N who introduced herself to me.  She mentioned that after a long, tiring day, one of the places she turns to to relax is my blog.  That’s when I started to feel bad, my poor neglected blog, it’s been months since I’ve been here.  When I first started my journey into the digital world, I was able to connect with so many people via the blog.

Then along came facebook.

It gets to be too much sometimes, keeping up with all the networks out there.  At the end of the day, I prefer to hang out with my kids then sit another 30 minutes at the computer, thus, pushing off the blog post over and over.

Well, here it is!  I will try to be here once a week from here onward 🙂

It’s that time of year again – I am offering a session to one lucky winner thru the Ohr V’daas Chinese Auction.

Please help support Ohr V’Daas by coming to the event, Tuesday, November 8, you will not be disappointed (hint: come hungry).

If you can’t make it you can order tickets online.

Ohr V’daas is a Special Ed school in Rockland County that services children with special needs.  They are incredibly devoted to each and every child and they would like to be able to accept more students but their building is too small.  They are desparately in need of a new building and since they are a religious school they can only get minimal funding so proceeds from events like the Chinese Auction directly impact each child.
