Rabbi's Week in Review
This past week, I started a beginning Yiddish course. I have always regretted not having learned Yiddish and finding that connection with my aunt and uncle, of blessed memory, as well as my first Hebrew-school teacher, also of blessed memory.
I am grateful to my eldest, Solomon, for requesting that we buy the course as a birthday present for him, and that he is OK sharing the space with me. Our kids can connect us ... Click here to read the rest of Rabbi Doug's blog post.
This Week's Torah Portion
Parashat Ki Tavo (Devarim/Deuteronomy
26:1-29:8)
Early in the parashah, we read, “My father was a fugitive Aramean.” It is essentially our story that is read on Passover. As we approach the Jewish new year, let this be a time to connect to our stories — to a sense of our identity, to who we are as a people, to the previous generations on whose shoulders we stand.

Weekly Feature
Holiday Food — Traditions and Innovations
By Wynne Begun
I love coming together with the Kol Ami community to celebrate the Jewish New Year. I also take great comfort in remembering loved ones with whom I shared this special time. I have such sweet memories of sitting next to my father and playing with the knots on his tallis.
The food associated with Rosh Hashanah is also a sweet memory and the source of much anticipation. I am a traditionalist when it comes to this holiday — matzah ball soup, brisket, kugel, root vegetables, and apples and honey. Those are a given. But what about dessert? Dessert is the one course of the meal that I change up every year. Below are links to four dessert options I am considering this Rosh Hashanah.
1. Apple and Honey Pie Pops — Might be a fun dessert for my grandkids! Who doesn’t like food on a stick? Click here.
2. One Bowl Apple Sharlotka Cake — One bowl is appealing, and it sounds light, which would be great after the meal. Click here.
3. Apple Sauce Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting — What is better than cream cheese frosting?
Click here.
4. Apple Tahini Crumble — The tahini adds a new twist to this tried-and-true dessert. Click here.
It was a tough decision, but I am picking No. 1. Fun wins every time!
