Plan your elopement: There will always be a Chabad!

Posted on 28th of September, 2010 by Lévana

Never mind the popular belief: Elopements are almost always carefully thought out. The only people who deny this simple fact are those who were vexed about not having been consulted, or those who were left behind. This summer has been particularly stressful, working like crazy to meet some deadlines, and...

Posted on 28th of September, 2010 by Lévana

What’s going on, have I lost my head? Who needs a cold kugel recipe? Who would even give cold kugel the right time of day? Or was I just playing with alliteration (Cape Cold Cold Kugel: Does sound catchy!)? Seriously: All of us harried people racking their brains about how...

Don’t you ever call me names, stupid!

Posted on 9th of September, 2010 by Lévana
