What a week !!! I don’t know about you but I’m glad this ones over. What
with Purim, and Purim again in Yerushalayim, my legs are stiff and butter at the
same time, figure that one out. The chef’s choice of fish, sea bream in
English, Sargo in the Mediterranean basin and Denis in Israel. Its fast to
cook, very few bones and easy to fillet, and very tasty. I think we grow the
best ones in Eretz Yisroel. Shmuel,my son-in-law and the owner of Domo’s, the
Japanese and sushi Restaurant in Jerusalem Mircaz Ha Ir, invited the family for
the seuda in his home outside Yershalayim. He bribed us with fresh Denis, one
for each person as the appetizer ( it was understood that I would grill it.),
and so it was. 20 - 1/2 kilo home spawned Sea bream. The fish chefs dream. And
it came out perfect, I have to admit, and a fun time was had by one and all.
And the next day it was real work. The steak. Marinated in my special soy
honey etc. ( its a secret till you write me in person) My Ravs wife who hired
me ended up grilling with me all afternoon. I think there must have been a
million steaks and about 2 million pargiot. That’s not even talking about the
sea bream and salmon that I grilled for breakfast shalach manot. She may have
been the best help I’ve had in along time. It certainly wasn’t an easy
task, especially when you are using real charcoal as your fuel and a homemade box
to put it in. And now a word from our sponsors : Literally, its the Torah that
holds up the world.
Did you know that if a person arrives in Yerushalayim on the night of the
15 th -Purim for Yerushalayim, and is planning to stay the night and the next
day, the law is that before he sleeps he must read the Megilla. Up until the
dawn of the day. In other words, when I dropped off 2 of my children in
Jerusalem at 9:00 PM, after having spent the entire day having Purim in Bnie
Brak, these children of mine now must find a Megilla reading or find a Kosher
Megilla and read for themselves. So it turned out that’s what they did. A
neighbor had a Megilla and my son knows how to read, so he read for his sister,
and continued on his way.
Have a gree--aaa---tttt
