Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “Making Off With The Passover Buffet.”I see Chabad not only performing genuine good deeds, but also always bâsimcha (in happiness) with a big smile, even generously letting others take the Passover buffet home with them. To me, this is truly a taste not just of a festive and kosher Passover, but of the times of Mashiach where rather than fighting over the scraps of food, there is so much plenty and caring that we canât even give it all away.

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “Putin’s Ukrainian Hogwash.”
âTalk less and do more.â Unfortunately, Putin apparently didnât learn this lesson as a child and is now, as they say, having to learn it the hard way later in life. He and his henchmen signaled to the world how they would bring Ukraine to its knees, surround and capture the capital, Kyiv, overthrow the leadership and install a pro-Kremlin puppet, and demilitarize the country. However, Putin spoke very big, but after a whole month of fighting now, things havenât turned out the way Putin had counted on. With Russian casualties, wounded, captured, and missing now estimated at up to 40,000, and with the Russian forces on the retreat, no one in their right minds couldâve imagined such a modern David and Goliath scenario playing out with Ukraine as the David.

Please see my new Restaurant Review in The Times of Israel called “A ‘Riblicious’ Meal at Izzy’s.”
Izzyâs Brooklyn Smokehouse Kosher BBQ now has a location in Miami, Florida. My wife, Dossy, loves ribs, so she âmade sureâ that we got to try this restaurant while on vacation here in Florida. Of course, she ordered her favorite BBQ Back Ribs as their menu says: âfinished over our woodshow grill and covered in our BBQ sauce.â
We ordered the ribs for my wife and she was in seventh heaven just waiting for them to come. There was no bread or appetizer put on the table and when the ribs came they were just that, ribs covered in thick brown BBQ sauce with a sprinkling of pickles and purple cabbage on the side and a cup of ketchup. There was no doubt that this meal was all about the ribs and that virtually nothing else mattered. Looking at my wifeâs happy face, I can almost forgive them for the various service snafus.

Check out this amazing honey chicken from China Bistro (Kosher) in Hollywood, Florida.
Crispy noodles underneath the delicious, sweet, succulent, and crispy chicken.Â
This was, as they say, “to die for” – so, so delicious.
As my father used to say, “It tastes like more!” đ
