In this month of October 2025, there are several holidays that we celebrate as Jews.  First is Yom Kippur, then Sukkot, and finally Simchat Torah.  I wanted to focus on the food we eat since that’s how we seem to celebrate holidays.  On Yom Kippur we try not to think of food as we fast for 25 hours.  I didn’t know what foods were associated with Sukkot and Simchat Torah, so I turned to my trusty World Book Encyclopedia.  Oops, I mean Google to find out. I learned something interesting. Stuffed  cabbage was mentioned for both holidays because they are rolled just like the Torah. Talk about an aha moment!  My mom made stuffed cabbage on holidays, now that makes sense.  I am including a copy of a recipe that my husband, Morry, recreated as closely to my mom’s cabbage soup as he could,  according to my dad.

 

Women’s League is taking a break for the holidays, and gearing up for our Paid-up Membership event on November 16th.  Watch for the flyer. We are working on a restaurant fundraiser.  Game Day is scheduled for December 11th.  And. Sisterhood Shabbat is January 17th, 2026, believe it or not.  We will begin baking hamentashen on January 7th.  Looks like a lot of our events revolve around food, but there’s no better reason to get together socially.

 

I hope everyone stays safe and healthy.  Life is short  so let’s make it sweet.
