Back to basics for a lovely Pesach dish

Michael NatkiN JTNews Columnist
Braising is something of a lost art, which is a shame because it isnt at all difficult to do. Learn a couple of basic moves and youll be rewarded with a succulent, richly flavored, rustic dish perfect for Passover. A proper braise is composed of even more basic cooking methods. First you sear the heck out of your main ingredient to develop those beautiful browned flavors. Then you remove it from the pot, quickly sweat your other vegetables, and return the main ingredient along with a small amount of flavorful liquid. With the lid on and the heat lowered, everything steams until tender while the flavors marry and the sauce emulsifies into silky goodness. The most common choice of supporting vegetables is mirepoix carrots, onions and celery. In this case I omit the celery because it might sive but a pinch goes a long way. This dish is just fine without it, but if you are in the mood to gild the lily, I highly recommend it.

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil plus additional for garnish 2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed and halved lengthwise, fronds reserved for garnish 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced 1-1/2 cups sliced carrots (1/4" thick coins) Crushed red pepper Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 tsp. kosher salt Zest and juice of 1 mandarin orange 1/4 cup dry vermouth (kosher for Passover) Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon Optional: fennel pollen In a pot with a tight-fitting lid, big enough to hold the fennel in a single layer, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. (A Dutch oven is ideal for this recipe.) When the oil is shimmering hot, lay the four fennel halves in the oil, cut side down. Sear until quite well browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another couple of minutes on the rounded sides. Remove the fennel to a plate, leaving the oil behind in the pot. Lower the heat to medium low. Add the garlic, onion, carrots, a big pinch of crushed red pepper, several generous grinds of black pepper, and the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes, until the onions start to soften. Add the orange zest and juice, the vermouth, and 1/2 cup water and stir, scraping the bottom to incorporate the delicious caramelized brown bits (fond). Put the fennel back in the pot, cut side up, on top of the onions and carrots. Cover the pot and braise until the fennel is completely tender when probed with a knife. This could be anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the bulbs. During the braise, adjust the heat so there is a good, steady amount of steam in the pot, but not so much that all the liquid boils off. Add a bit more liquid if needed. To serve, transfer the fennel bulbs onto a serving platter. Spoon the carrots, onions and sauce over the fennel. Garnish with a generous drizzle of good olive oil, more freshly ground pepper, some flaky salt, the fennel fronds, and the optional fennel pollen.

Tefillin: The way to a purpose- No more European excuses driven day on Hezbollah
Rabbi siMoN beNzaqueN Rabbi Emeritus, Sephardic Bikur holim
To my delight, I have noticed an encouraging trend of people who might not be religiously observant nevertheless observing the commandment of wearing tefillin. Why is it important for every male Jew, no matter what level of observance, to consider donning tefillin? For one, it is a mitzvah (a commandment). Every mitzvah is an act of love that binds us to God. But tefillin is the paradigm mitzvah in that we literally bind ourselves to the will of God. Tefillin represents a total dedication and union with the Almighty. As the Torah says, Bind [these commandments] as a sign on your arm, and as totafot [frontlets] between your eyes (Deut. 6:8). Tefillin consists of two black boxes, one of which is worn on the bicep, the other on the forehead. Attached to each box are black leather straps. Inside each box is parchment containing four Torah sections: The obligation to remember the Exodus (Ex. 13:1-10); the responsibility to transmit Judaism to our descendants (Ex. 11-16); the Shema, the proclamation of Gods unity and the mitzvah to love God (Deut. 6:4-9); and the implications of our fulfillment of the Torah (Deut. 11:13-21). The outer structure of the tefillin contains three Hebrew letters, which spell out one of Gods names, Shaddai. Sometimes people wont know about tefillin, but they know about phylacteries. This is a term used by the ancient Greeks who referred to them as phylakterion, which means a protection or a safeguard. Apparently, the Greeks misunderstood the tefillin to be some sort of amulet or charm. Actually, tefillin has nothing to do with superstition, but is considered as a genuine connection to God. Whats the purpose of tefillin, of wearing a sign on your arm and on your head? On the eve of the Exodus from Egypt, as the Israelites were about to go forth on their journey to freedom, God gave them a number of instructions. Among them was: Vhaya lecha leot al yadcha, ulzikaron ben enecha It shall be to you as a sign upon your arm and a reminder between your eyes (Ex. 13:9). Tefillin are to be an insignia on your arm and a crown upon your head, a daily reminder of what God did in redeeming us from the slavery of Egypt. Tefillin is a daily reminder of the potential for evil within every one of us, personified by the slavery in Egypt, and a sign of our God-given potential for goodness and holiness as personified in the holy scrolls from the Torah within the tefillin boxes. But why do we have to wear them? lemaan tihyeh Torat Hashem beficha So that the word of God may be in your mouth so that you will be inspired to speak up about your own experiences as if you were in Egypt experiencing the evil of slavery, and help bring Gods light and goodness to the world. The two boxes represent the two ways we serve God in this world: Thought (the head) and action (the arm). When putting on the arm tefillin, we focus on devoting our strength to the Almighty. It is placed at a level opposite the heart to teach that all our actions must be done with heart and mind. The head tefillin imbues us with the idea of subjugating our intellect for the love of God. Dr. Steven Schram, a chiropractor and acupuncturist, wrote a fascinating article in the Journal of Chinese Medicine in October 2002 called Tefillin: An Ancient Acupuncture Point Prescription For Mental Clarity. Schram points out that when worn properly, the leather straps and boxes of the tefillin stimulate acupuncture points associated with improved concentration and inspiration. The contact points of tefillin are exactly those points at which acupuncture needles are inserted in order to increase spirituality and to purify thoughts. Schram was not a particularly observant Jew and hadnt worn tefillin since his Bar Mitzvah. He went to a rabbi for a refresher course. For a while, he would put tefillin on in the morning, sit on his adjustment table, say the Shema, and meditate. Schram wrote, I hope that more people will do tefillinI think tefillin is a tool for enhancing consciousness, and I would like to see more consciousness. Some have likened tefillin to a sophisticated device that receives spiritual-electronic signals. If one wire or transistor is faulty, the entire system does not function. It is important that one wear tefillin in 100 percent good condition. Every letter of the parchment inserted in the tefillin boxes must be halachically acceptable, written in the right order that appears in the Torah, and not cracked or faded. The ink must be black, not faded to brown or green. Therefore, if you have an old pair of tefillin (perhaps that you inherited from

This past July, a bomb went off in Burgas, Bulgaria, murdering five Israeli tourists and their Bulgarian bus driver, and wounding dozens more. After a sixmonth investigation, the Bulgarian minister of the interior recently announced the findings: The atrocity was carried out and financed by the Lebanese-based Muslim group Hezbollah, whose antiSemitic and anti-Western ideology is well known. Great credit goes to Bulgaria for its thorough and professional investigation, which did not shy away from pinpointing the perpetrator. Word about a similar plot is now emerging from Cyprus, where a Hezbollah operative has admitted to tracking the location of Jews for the terrorist organization. Until now, the European Union has refused to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Two of its member states the United Kingdom and the Netherlands do designate it as such, as do the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Immediately after the Burgas bombing, the president of the European Union said: Should there be tangible evidence of Hezbollah engaging in acts of terrorism, the EU would consider listing the organization. In light of the information turned up in the Bulgarian investigation and the Cyprus interrogations, can the EU continue to bury its head in the sand? Hezbollahs gruesome record goes back three decades. In 1983, its suicide bombers killed 241 U.S. Marines and 58 French peacekeeping troops in Beirut. Among its subsequent acts of violence, Hezbollah was identified by a UN tribunal as responsible for the truck bombing that killed Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri and 22 others in 2005. Several years later, Hezbollah took over West Beirut in what the government at the time called a bloody coup. More than 100 people, many of them civilians, were killed. The groups activity has even reached your grandfather), you should have it inspected by a scribe. In general, it is a good idea for tefillin to be checked at regular intervals. One should only purchase tefillin from a sofer, a scribe and God-fearing Jew, who knows the quality of tefillin. Why put on tefillin? As the Torah tells us so that the Torah of God shall be in
the Western Hemisphere. A special Argentinean prosecutor who investigated the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, which left 85 dead and hundreds injured, identified Hezbollah and its Iranian confederates as the perpetrators. Since placement on the list of terrorist organizations would allow EU members to freeze Hezbollahs bank accounts and facilitate cross-border cooperation in apprehending and arresting Hezbollah operatives in Europe, its reluctance to do so has made it easier for the organization to recruit, plan and carry out its horrific activity. Fear of reprisal against EU states might have been psychologically understandable, if not morally defensible, when Hezbollah appeared to be using Europe simply as a base of operations in the Middle East. But unfortunately, the attack in Bulgaria indicates that Western targets are already part of these terrorists plans, so turning the other cheek has had no real deterrent effect. Another argument for holding off on declaring Hezbollah a terrorist entity is that the organization also has a political wing, one that wields considerable power in Lebanon, and that weakening it would destabilize that country. But Hezbollahs political presence, which includes a private army that makes it a state-within-a-state, in fact destabilizes Lebanon. That was clearly the case in 2006, when its missile attacks on Israel started a war that led to many civilian casualties and devastated southern Lebanon. Since then, Hezbollah has received new supplies of missiles from Iran in preparation for the next confrontation with Israel. It is time for our friends in the EU to reconsider their excuses and to officially declare Hezbollah the terrorist entity that it is.

The changing Middle East, as seen from AIPAC 2013

beN coheN JNS.org
WASHINGTON, DCThe razzmatazz at this years AIPAC policy conference couldnt quite mute the background murmurs about the organizations declining influence. There was Chuck Hagels confirmation as defense secretary, and there is the ongoing debate about the impact of sequestration on Israels defensive capabilities. When Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) complained that the Obama administration still had not delivered advanced F-35 fighter aircraft to Israel, he inadvertently invited his audience to ponder, All-powerful Israel lobby? What all-powerful Israel lobby? Away from the podium speeches that restated, to standing ovations and thunderous applause, the critical talking points of Israel advocacy Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, all options must remain on the table concerning Iran, there is no genuine Palestinian peace partner, and so forth there was serious reconsideration of Israels current strategic position in the Middle East. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) memorably summarized the stakes involved when he told the AIPAC crowd, I have not seen the Middle East and the world in a more dangerous situation in my lifetime. What, perhaps, is distinctive about this dangerous situation is that it contains a complex of conflicts in which Israel is not an active participant, but a nervous bystander waiting on a series of uncertain outcomes. The much-vaunted Arab Spring, more accurately described by Israeli journalist Amos Harel as the Arab upheaval, has taken different forms in different countries, but the common denominator is that, in not a single instance, has a democratic, open society emerged at the other end. In the Arab gulf region in particular, long-established repressive and corrupt regimes, most obviously in Saudi Arabia, remain in place. As the American columnist Bret Stephens pointed out, much as we might wish for an end to the Saudi monarchy, in all likelihood what follows them will be worse. Old certaintieslike the position of Turkey as a friend of both Israel and the western powershave been dramatically undercut, as demonstrated by Prime Minister Erdogans vicious assault on Zionism as a crime against humanity. Most of all, there is Iran. While there was little discussion of the one conflict in which Israel is directly involved, that with the Palestinians, the AIPAC parley was dominated by anxiety that Iran is on the cusp of acquiring a nuclear weapon. Speaking at the main plenary, Vice President Joe Biden accentuated a significant, if subtle, shift in the administrations articulation of its Iran policy. Americas goal, Biden said, is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, period. Then, for added effect, Biden repeated: Prevent, not contain, prevent. The picture that has emerged at AIPAC, then, is of an Israel facing unknown, indeterminate threats that are far greater than the known threats it has encountered in the past. As a consequence, detailed policy prescriptions were hard to come by. Absent from the policy conference were recommendations as to how Israel should proceed in negotiations with the Palestinians (because there arent any) or maintain its historic 1979 peace treaty with Egypt (because theres not much it can do should that countrys Muslim Brotherhood leaders decide to tear it up). Instead, the focus was on Israel as frontline member of the community of democratic nations, the terrain where the cultural, political and perhaps military struggles between western openness and Islamists strictures will be played out.

How I-90 tolls would affect the entire Jewish community

tiM klass JTNews Correspondent
A plan to collect tolls on the Interstate 90 floating bridge is raising a double whammy of concern and uncertainty across Mercer Island, not the least among its Jewish institutions. Tolling could make membership and access to [Congregation Herzl-Ner Tamid] cost-prohibitive and burdensome for many of our congregants, wrote synagogue president Julie Ellenhorn in an email to members in January. Rabbi Bernie Fox, head of the Northwest Yeshiva High School, and Judy Neuman, chief executive of the Stroum Jewish Community Center, said their institutions also would be hard hit if teachers, custodians, secretaries, groundskeepers and other employees could not afford to commute. Nearly all the JCCs employees live in Seattle or in the Eastside suburbs, and a number have complained that if this were to come to pass, they cant imagine how they could make it work financially, Neuman said. When the JCC moved from Seattle to the north end of Mercer Island in 1969, the main reasons were land costs and Jewish population growth east of Lake Washington. Two years later, the newly merged Herzl-Ner Tamid, the states largest Conservative synagogue, was built across from the JCC on East Mercer Way. In 1992, when NYHS relocated from Seattle to the middle of the island, Fox said the deciding factor was that its equally inconvenient for everyone. Since then, the island has become even more of a hub for the regions increasingly far-flung Jewish community with the addition of a kosher restaurant and comprehensive kosher food departments in the Albertsons and, more recently, QFC supermarkets. Theres a tremendous amount of Jewish infrastructure on the island, Fox said. Its definitely going to impact the effectiveness of that infrastructure. Mercer Island Councilwoman Tana Senn echoed that sentiment. A lot of the Jewish community comes to the island for religious services and for kosher shopping and dining, Senn said. This is really a regional issue. Approximately 25 percent of Mercer Islands 22,000 residents are believed to be Jewish. Other clusters of Jews reside in Seattles Northend and the Seward Park neighborhoods, and in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah and Sammamish on the Eastside. A Census Bureau report last fall listed Mercer Island as the wealthiest city in Washington State, with a median family income of $146,476, compared with $91,898 for Seattle and $62,735 nationwide. According to estimates the JCCs Neuman has seen, the state transportation departments plan to collect tolls on both the East Channel and Lake Washington sections would cost daily commuters $2,000 to $3,000 a year. With annual tuition and fees exceeding $15,000 at NYHS, Fox said, enrollment is 75 students with about 60 percent paying full fare, down from a peak of about 120 students when tuition cost about $7,000 a decade ago. Half or more come from Seattle, a third live on the island, and the rest commute from the Eastside, making carpooling unlikely, he added. I dont know if it will actually come to losing students, Fox said. Its difficult to predict with so much unknown. State officials began talking about tolls on I-90 last year, largely to make up for lower-than-anticipated toll collections on the parallel State Route 520 between Seattle and Bellevue. The new tolls would finance an overhaul of the 520 span. Rep. Judy Clibborn, a Democrat who represents Mercer Island in the legislature and chairs the House Transportation Committee, declined to comment for this article, but in a March 6 Op-Ed for the Mercer Island Reporter, she stated that there is no question that tolling will disproportionately affect those of us who live on Mercer

Treehouse
Being a foster child means having to cope with extraordinary disadvantages during some of the most important formative years leading to adulthood. Most often, children enter the foster care system due to abuse or neglect. Foster kids often dont get the same emotional or financial support that other kids get, or the sense of security that comes from being a part of a biological or adoptive family. This is why Treehouse exists, to counteract some of the disadvantages that come with being a foster child. Treehouse is QFCs charity of the month for March. Most people find that getting a good education is an essential step towards leading a productive, fulfilling life. People without a good education are often at a disadvantage in pursuing a career or a landing a good job. Unfortunately, due to the emotional turmoil many foster children have had to endure, they are not primed and ready to do well in school. Treehouse is dedicated to helping the foster child population here in Washington through Education Advocacy and Education Engagement. Treehouse Education Advocates help students access education support services, stay in the same school whenever possible or help with the transition to a new school, work through issues that might keep them out of school, and help them make up credits, stay engaged and stay on track to graduate. Treehouse provides education planning, coaching and support through Education Engagement. The Treehouse website notes: Through weekly monitoring of risk indicators, personalized intervention, building problem solving and self-advocacy skills, proactively removing barriers to school success, and supports to fully engage in school and community, Treehouse paves the way to high school graduation, hope and opportunity. The Treehouse mission of helping foster children goes beyond education to include many other aspects of youths lives. Here are four other programs that Treehouse supports that help make a difference: Little Wishes, Summer Camp, The Wearhouse and Holiday Magic. Through Little Wishes, Treehouse provides access to extracurricular activities like sports, music, dance and clubs, as well as school activities because kids who
are positively engaged in school and community have better academic and life outcomes. The Summer Camp program provides access to overnight camps, day camps and other summer programs, giving foster kids a chance to get away and make new friends, while providing a break for their caregivers. Because spare funds are often short or nonexistent, Treehouse created The Wearhouse so that foster kids can get free new and like-new clothing, books, toys and other things to help them feel good and fit in. Eligible participants can use The Wearhouse up to five times a year. The Holiday Magic program helps kids in foster care have a happy holiday by raising resources from the community to provide each child with a special holiday gift. QFC is proud to partner with Treehouse to raise awareness about the important work they are involved in and to help raise funds to support the services they offer to their young clients. We invite you to make a donation at any QFC checkstand to Treehouse until March 30th.

Leviticus 19:16 tells us, Do not stand by while your neighbors blood is shed. Recent disasters such as Hurricane Sandy and the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School have shown the true heroism of those who are willing to throw themselves into dangerous situations as they happen before them. This puzzle welcomes some of them into our midst, with rousing applause.

israel: To your healTh
Positive developments for diabetics

JaNis siegel JTNews Columnist
Although Israel isnt among the top 10 countries in the world with a high prevalence of diabetes in its population, it is on the forefront of several research studies that are moving quickly toward finding a cure for the condition while the innovative technology created in Israels labs is transferred seamlessly to the private sector for development. According to the World To your Health Organization, 347 million people had diabetes worldwide in 2012, and it expects the number of those who develop the disease to double by the year 2030. In 2011, the International Diabetes Federation estimated that 366 million people had the condition and that number will climb to 552 million by 2030. To guard against the killer disease, doctors recommend exercising, not smoking, not drinking alcohol, and maintaining a normal body weight to lessen the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, which occurs due to the bodys inability to regulate insulin. Type 1, often called juvenile diabetes, develops because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to regulate the bloods glucose content. People with Type 1 inject insulin to manage the condition, but Dr. Eli Lewis, the head of the Clinical Islet Laboratory at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in partnership with the University of Colorado, Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia universities, went further. He not only developed a method for successfully transplanting healthy, insulin-producing cells into a diabetic pancreas, but went on to discover a second use for an FDAapproved drug, already in use for other conditions, that prevents the inflammation and subsequent rejection of those new cells that often occurs in these patients, who must then return to injecting insulin. We transplant healthy pieces of pancreas, called islets. Those are the cells that are missing from the Type 1 diabetes patient, said Lewis in an Israel21c news video. Its the closest thing that we can consider a cure. When Lewis applied the drug alpha1antitrypsin to the grafted-in cells, the unexpected breakthrough was more than he and his team could have hoped for in the lab. It turns out, in a study that was done in collaboration with us and Harvard-Boston, that if you induce diabetes in a mouse, and you administer our therapy, you correct diabetes without the need for transplantation, he said. We found a drug that we are going to use. In that study, researchers injected the drug into mice. After two to four weeks, the transplanted cells remained healthy and functioned properly in the pancreas. The study was so successful that researchers were able to discontinue the therapy. Type 2 diabetes patients may also benefit from this technique since inflammation of the cells also plays a part in that condition. Im very optimistic as to the findings, added Lewis. In a related development, BGU scientists and the Technion-Israel Institute of Health Technologys Prof. Shulamit Levenberg have developed a three-dimensional blood vessel network to accompany grafted-in engineered pancreatic tissues that were derived from insulin-producing islets and transplanted in a diabetes patient. Those cells supported by the cluster of blood vessels more effectively lowered the blood sugar levels in diabetic mice. Levenberg devised this technique because without dedicated blood vessels feeding the transplanted cells, a transplant has been shown to be more prone to failure. Levenberg and her team are beginning to start trials using human subjects. And finally, Prof. Benyamin Glaser, the head of Endocrinology at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Schools and Prof. Yuval Dor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalems Institute for Medical Research Israel-Canada have been studying what makes insulin-producing beta cells replicate and regenerate. Glaser told Xinhua News that he and his colleagues found that the more overloaded the beta cells there are that is, the more glucose they are exposed to the more insulin they will create. The problem with the work overload is that it stresses the beta cells and many tend to malfunction, Glaser said. Were still working on that on finding a way to stress the beta cells without any malfunctioning, but weve already managed to find the connection between high glucose levels and the beta cells replication. The study was also done in collaboration with researchers from the diabetes section of Roche Pharmaceuticals. Were not talking here about a cure for diabetes, thats still far in the future, Glaser added, but we have opened a path that can lead to a cure. In two years, we could see the first steps to a cure, by using a drug thats already being developed and by manipulating two or three drugs that are already on the market.

bill in the House that would seek to alleviate tolling for island residents. Sen. Steve Litzow submitted a companion bill in the Senate. The current plan would toll only the floating bridge between Mercer Island and Seattle, leaving free passage to Bellevue, but other mainland-to-mainland or single-direction options are still on the table. The Mercer Island City Council has voted to hire an attorney to monitor the process and represent the municipality on the issue. Tolling has by far been at the top of residents agenda, Senn said. Were hearing so much I would say 99.9 percent in opposition of tolling, she added. Theres lots of passion behind it. According to Ellenhorn, more than two-thirds of those who regularly attend Mercer Island churches on average come from off the island slightly more than the 60 percent commuting rate at Herzl.
To date she said religious groups on the island have not discussed a coordinated response to the toll proposals. A decision is probably months away, and officials have said it would likely be next year or 2015 before toll collections would begin. Ellenhorn said the synagogue board has taken no formal position. Neuman said the same was true for the JCC. Next to no tolls at all, Neuman said shed probably favor a Bellevue-to-Seattle tolling option. Would that be a great outcome? Probably, for us [at the JCC], but I dont know that thats the right outcome for all of Mercer Island, she said, or fair and equitable for everyone. In any event, Neuman said she didnt believe I-90 tolls would have a disproportionate impact on Jewish life in the region. I dont think this is a Jewish community issue, she said. I think this is a citizen issue.

This Passover, go for the good stuff

eMily k. alhadeff Associate Editor, JTNews
For those of you who still think kosher wine means kosher-aisle, bottom-shelf Kedem Concord Cream Red, sip on this: Bartenura Moscato has the highest sales of imported Moscatos in the United States. Eighty-five percent of the signature blue bottle dessert wine sells to consumers unconcerned with kosher status. As it does once a year, JTNews sat down with Michael Friend of Royal Wine Corp. to taste new, high-quality kosher-for-Passover wines to the local market. This years flight featured five Israeli wines, two locals from California and Washington State, and for the first time ever three spirits: A cognac, a Scotch, and a vodka liqueur. All but the Scotch and vodka are kosher for Passover, and most items are available at QFC Mercer Island and University Village, Albertsons Mercer Island, and Wine World. Editor Joel Magalnick and I were joined by esteemed guests Ned Porges, Jerry Barrish, Josh Furman, Jason Dishlip, Elise Peizner, and Tzippy Wiens at the lovely Chai Lounge on the 13th floor of the Summit at First Hill. Without further ado: Our rankings! Wines marked with an [M] can be considered mevushal. Best local wine: pacifica pinot noir (washington, $25.95): Indeed, the Pacifica ran unopposed in this category, but its worth pointing out to you locavores that Washington State does have its own kosher wine, which won Best New Wine of 2012 at Kosherfest 2012 USA. This Pinot Noir, unfortunately, pales in comparison to last years sumptuous Meritage. On a scale of 1 to 5, our reviewers gave it an average of 2.75. Josh called it mellow and smoky and tasted notes of campfire. Instead of being strong, it seems to glow on the tongue, said Ned. Though a little immature, this is still a good, dry wine. equivalent of an Old Spice commercial. If this leaves any doubt in your mind, Wine Enthusiast magazine gave it a rating of 90. Best wines for your seder: psagot edom (israel, $33.99): Recommended alongside roasted meat, stew, and robust pasta dishes, the Psagot got high ratings from the tasting team, who found in it aromas of chocolate, pipe tobacco, and leather, and flavors of cherry and pepper, even mild salsa, contributed Joel. Finally, a wine we can pair with shank bone and roasted egg! Baron herzog white Riesling (california, $11.99 [M]): If you are sentimentally attached to the idea of sticky sweet Manischewitz at your seder table, consider opting for this Riesling. Jerry called it sweet but not cloying, and Elise, who picked up honey and peach, deemed it adult juice. My grandmother would love this, said Tzippy. I should send her a bottle. Berrylicious, said Joel. Remember: You do need to drink four cups, and two of them are after the meal. This dessert wine is a great way to close the night. Bin chardonnay (israel, $12.99 [M]): Scoring a 4 out of 5, our tasters picked up apricot, melon, honey, peach, even butterscotch aromas and flavors. Stored in stainless steel rather than oak, Bin is light, smooth, and easy going down.
Emily K. AlhAdEff
Michael Friend introduces the Tomintoul Scotch to Ned Porges.
Best deals: domaine netofa galilee Red (israel, $21.99): Jason smelled vanilla and cotton candy, and Ned found it astringent and deep a wine to sip, not drink. Pair it with grilled meat or cheddar cheese. Tzippy rated this best bet for hostess gift and appointed it the new Wiens house wine. carmel Appellation cabernet sauvingnon (israel, $20.99): Both wines met equally good reviews (4 out of 5), but evoked different responses. Josh thought it smelled like new rain and picked up a taste of seaweed, and Joel found a bit of anise at the finish. Tzippy called it the wine

cious always. Tastes like birthday cake and trouble! wrote Tzippy. Good on its own over ice or mixed with Sprite, Walders is the pancakes and maple syrup of liqueurs. The taste of vodka is barely noticeable, favored by a sweet (but not too sweet), custardy cream. But wait, it gets better: Walders is dairy-, soy-, and nutfree, and it accounts for only one Weight Watchers point. But you have to wonder: What makes it so creamily perfect?
JoEl mAgAlNiCK
Josh Furman contemplates a red.
Im not a huge chardonnay fan, but this was good for a chardonnay, said Jason. A good choice for white wine drinkers, or if your seder table is heavy on fish and vegetarian dishes. Best splurge: tomintoul 16-year scotch (scotland, $105.99, not kosher for passover): This award-winning Scotch deserves a dark room, a leather chair, and a special occasion. Our tasters picked up hints of caramel and maple. Cinnamon and nutmeg finish adds depth, wrote Josh. Smooth and delicate even for a non-Scotch drinker. Best new find: walders Vodka & Vanilla (holland, $38.99, not kosher for passover): MUST BUY! WINNER! raved Josh. A real treat after a hard dayor an easy daydeli-
JoEl mAgAlNiCK
Jason Dishlip studies his selection.
The answer is: We dont know. Nowhere on the packaging or on the Walders website are the ingredients disclosed. So drink responsibly. Too much, and you may grow a sixth finger. One more thing: It is imperative that you shake the bottle before pouring.
Best all around: Binyamina special Reserve cabernet (israel, $22.99 [M]): This Israeli Cabernet scored 4.5 out of 5 and evoked anise, Indian spices, even a shouk spice market. Elise found it very earthy. Wow on the nose, Michael observed. He brought up the average when he gave it a rating of 6 off the charts! Great body, wrote Joel. Delicious. Jerry found it very complex and woodsy. If you like a nice, bold red that holds back from being too strong, this is for you. And at $22.99, it nearly makes a three-way tie as best deal. Best kosher for passover spirit: louis Royer cognac Vsop (France, $85.99): A kosher cognac is an exciting thing, though the Louis Royer did not go over terribly well. Our trusty tasters gave it a dreary 2.3 out of 5, likening it to rubbing alcohol and shoe polish. However, cognac enthusiasts may beg to differ with these reviews (some people like shoe polish, right?), and we invite you to bring this to your seder tables and get back to us with your thoughts. After all, paired with matzoh and gefilte fish, it might be just the thing.

Bringing the Passover seder to life on a game board

gWeN davis JTNews Correspondent
Youre starving, youve been sitting too long, youre overtired, and the baby wont stop screaming. Sound like a familiar Passover seder scene to you? Tamara Pester thought so. So she invented Passover Bingo, which will allow seder-goers to become more engaged in the meal. Pesters game engages both kids and adults during the Haggadah reading or anytime for what she hopes is a fun, educational, and anti-boring experience. Players learn about the events and personalities of Passover. I have a niece and nephew who are 9 and 12 years old, Pester told JTNews. They would get really restless during the seder and I wanted to create a game that would keep them engaged. Passover Bingo seemed to do the trick. The game has been in the works for a while. I originally made it out of construction paper, she said regarding its genesis. Over the past few years Ive been thinking about how to make this into something bigger.

Disappearing act
eRiN pike Special to JTNews
In 1999, Israeli-born Itai Erdal moved to Vancouver, B.C. to pursue a film career. A year later, he found out his mother had been diagnosed with lung cancer and had nine months to live. Erdal returned home to care for her and to film the last part of her life. The result, How to Disappear Completely merges film, theater, and the grieving process into an honest and uplifting performance. Jtnews: describe your show, how to disappear completely. itai erdal: My mom died 12 years ago. She asked me if I would take care of her, because she didnt want to go to a hospital. I filmed the whole thing. It was actually her idea. Jt: why did you decide to use the footage for a theater performance instead of creating a documentary? ie: First of all, at the time, it was just way too close and personal. It takes years to process what I had been through. I work in theater, and I love verbatim theater. Theres something about real stories that touches me like no other theater does. Its such a rare opportunity to reflect on ones life like this through a piece of theater. Jt: did it change you in a Jt: how do you interact religious or spiritual way? with the film onstage? ie: I was brought up as an ie: All of the footage is atheist, and my mom was an in Hebrew with subtitles. atheist.

Suddenly, there are children in the house, theres laughter in the house. Shiva is a fantastic tradition. I also grew a beard that Ive kept ever since. I didnt have a beard before. In the 30 days after your parents die, you do not shave. Its another thing I sort of took with me. Jt: how have audiences reacted to the show? ie: This show has touched so many people. Every time I do it theres a line of people with tears in their eyes waiting to tell me about parents that have died, siblings that have died. People have written me letters

lifecycles Death Death
Jerry M. Schor
Jerry passed away February 3, 2013 at the age of 94. His love for life was shared with friends and family through deeds and stories. His circle of friends was far-reaching and long-lasting. Whether it was lunch, fishing or just schmoozing, you were his friend forever. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. to Sam and Rose Schor, Jerry was one of nine children. He came to the Northwest with the Air Corps. While stationed at Paine Field in Everett, he met Esther Sturman. They corresponded while he spent a year in Alaska. When he returned, he and Esther were married in 1943. Jerry worked in furniture sales for Funes & Oziel for many years. He was an avid fisherman and engaging storyteller. He was active at Emanuel Congregation and a proud member of the Masons, St. Johns Lodge 9, and a highly decorated veteran. Jerry leaves behind Esther, his devoted wife of 69 years, and his beloved daughter, Rita Lesher, sister Pearl Goldstein, and many nieces and nephews. Burial was at the Bikur Cholim Cemetery. Donations in Jerrys memory can be made to Emanuel Congregation or the Caroline Kline Galland Home.
Jane Hart Fein May 12, 1930February 7, 2013

Jane died comfortably with family at her side. She was born in Cleveland and graduated from Mt. Sinai School of Nursing in 1951. She married Dr. Sherwood (Midge) Fein in 1952 and they moved to Seattle in 1954. They raised five children and until two years ago had 10 grandsons, but no granddaughters. That unusual string was broken by the recent arrival of a granddaughter. From 1984, after a refresher course in nursing, Jane worked as an RN at Swedish Medical Center in the antepartum unit for 10 years, and loved it. Midge Fein died in 1994, and Jane married an old friend, Dr. Robert Rosenberg, in 1998. They enjoyed a new life together with traveling, movies, plays and companionship until her illness progressed. Jane is survived by her husband; children Laurie Sapir (Shimon), Cindy Strauss (Bob), Warren Fein (Lisa), Elliot Fein (Eve), and Amy Halas (Kamaka), and grandchildren Yoni, Leor and Elad Sapir; Aaron, Joey, and Danny Strauss; Sam and Jacob Fein; Aryeh and Perry Fein; and Eliana Halas. Jane was a lovely woman in every respect, devoted to her family, and loved back by them and a multitude of friends near and far. She was always there to help those in need. All will miss her. A service was held Sunday, February 10 at 2:30 p.m. at Herzl Memorial Park, 16500 Dayton Avenue North, Shoreline. Remembrances to the Caroline Kline Galland Home, 7500 Seward Park Ave. S, Seattle, WA 98118 or Congregation Beth Shalom, 6800 35th Ave. NE, Seattle, WA 98115.
