For those of my Jewish and non Jewish friends looking for Chanukah decorations, wrapping paper, gift bags, plates, and napkins the place to go is Home Goods. They have not only traditional looks but fun and whimsy items that are not cheesy. Well done! When I go to other stores I’ll post. #jewsky

Hebrew Time Today, as Sunday is drawing to a close, we look at the term: Shavua Tov שָׁבוּעַ טוֹב The translation is Good week or Have a good week. This is said after the Havdalah service, which is a brief service at the end of Shabbat on Saturday evening.

Yiddish Time 1/3 This one come from my dear friend @joffie.bsky.social. What are your favorites? Bubbe Meises - Old Wives Tales of superstition. Here are some fun ones. Wear red under your clothes to ward off the evil eye. No shoes on the bed - again to ward off evil.

Yiddish Time This morning we look at the word: Bashert באַשערט - which means destiny or meant to be and is mainly used in finding your soulmate, but can be used for events that happen; good or bad. This all seems to walk the line of free will.

Yiddish Time Rachmones רחמנות (remember the ch sound is guttural): To have compassion or empathy and to call for a sense of understanding toward the lives of others. Example: “I know your friend’s a bit of a flake but have a little rachmones. He’s going through a lot.”
