I was contact by the Jewish Home for the Aging in Los Angeles (www.jha.org) to help kick-off a campaign for the Jewish holiday of Passover. The idea is to hold a recipe contest for a traditional Passover dish called Maztah Brei, which is a combination of unleavened bread called Matzah, egg and salt.

It was immediately obvious to everyone that we should video tape a few of the residents making their own recipes for this delicious dish. This made sense on so many different levels.

First, it was cute. The residents are wonderful and proud of their home and their cooking. The video also helps to promote healthy – spiritual living in a home for the elderly. Third, it helps to communicate traditions from one generation to the next.

The video starts off how one would expect a Passover video to start, but then the pace changes and we are offered a chance to participate in the wonderful tradition of Passover.

Though both dishes featured in this video are delicious, they do not hold a candle to my own Grandmothers Matzah Brei.

Matzah Brei Recipe Contest

Can’t take credit for this one. Sent to my by a good friend. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were
excessively mischievous. They were always
getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it.

If any mischief occurred in their town,
the two boys were probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a preacher
in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked
if he would speak with her boys.

The preacher agreed, but he asked to see
them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the
morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming
voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,

‘Do you know where God is, son?’

The boy’s mouth dropped open , but he
made no response, sitting there wide-eyed
with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, ‘Where
is God?’

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.
The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the
boy’s face and bellowed, ‘Where is God?’

The boy screamed and bolted from the
room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door
behind him.

When his older brother found him in the
closet, he asked, ‘What happened?’

The younger brother, gasping for breath,
replied,’We are in BIG trouble this time,’
(I just LOVE reading this next line again and again:)

‘GOD is missing, and they think we did it!’
