The Jewish calendar is essentially composed of three units that depend on a heavenly body for proper calculation. The month is dependent upon cycles of the moon, and the day and the year are dependent upon cycles of the sun. For the purposes of our discussion, we will focus on the "month" and the "year." ( The following discussion is oversimplified for clarity's sake.)   The Jewish nation was instructed to bless and sanctify each new month. The month is the period of time it takes for the moon to complete a revolution around the earth. On the average, this takes 29.5 days. As we only have complete days in a month, some months contain 29 days, and other contain 30.

Beitzah The Roasted Egg is symbolic of the festival sacrifice made in biblical times. On Passover, an additional sacrifice (the Paschal lamb) was offered as well. The egg is also a traditional symbol of mourning, and has been interpreted by some as a symbolic mourning for the loss of the Temple. Since the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 C.E., neither the festival sacrifice nor the special passover sacrifice could be offered. It is also a symbol of spring - the season in which Passover is always celebrated. In many households, it is customary to use a brown egg on the seder plate. The egg should be baked or roasted if possible.   Elijah Cup

Festivals of Lite Kosher Cookbook : Kosher Cookbook


F or this book, she collected nearly 250 recipes from all over the world, including Sephardic dishes from the Mediterranean tradition and Ashkenazic favorites from Eastern Europe. To slim them down, Ashkanazi-Hankin uses low-fat dairy products, cooking spray, defatted stock, and sensible, easy techniques. The results mostly contain from zero to four grams of fat.

Recipes are identified as dairy, meat, or pareve. Holidays for which they are especially appropriate are also indicated, and menus for holiday meals suggested. But you won't want to limit serving Roasted Turkey Tzimmes livened up with rosemary and red wine or North African Style Meatballs simmered with fresh tomatoes, green peas,  and artichoke hearts atop couscous to just holiday meals.

What began as a young girl’s dreams have culminated into a full-fledged career for author Gail Ashkanazi-Hankin. Early in life, her aptitude for art was discovered and fostered by her parents, Bernard and Bernice Ashkanazi. As she developed her artistic skills, she practiced another of her passions—cooking, especially cooking creatively for special diets. Bernard Ashkanazi had many severe food allergies, and his daughter constantly adapted recipes for him.
