A Tabernacle Full of Knickknacks and Love

Andrea Adelson October 2, 2003

Sukkot, the eight-day festival that begins Oct. 11, commemorates a central event in Jewish history: the 40-year desert trek that followed the exodus from Egypt when Jews lived in portable shelters or booths.

People celebrate the holiday by building, eating in — and sometimes sleeping in — a temporary structure topped by a \”natural\” covering, such as tree branches or a bamboo mat which allows star-gazing. The structure is a show of trust in God\’s protection. During the festival — sometimes called \”Tabernacles\” and \”The Harvest Festival\” — we also say a blessing over the four species: the lulav, etrog, hadas and arava.

My Mother’s Kitchen: A Natural Disaster Area

Burt Prelutsky November 23, 2000

My mother had a green thumb. Too bad she employed it in the kitchen, not the garden. To her credit, she was such a good housekeeper, you could have eaten off her floors. Which, unfortunately, was preferable to eating off her plates.

Use It or Lose It

Amy Hendel October 7, 1999

The other day, an older client said to me, \”I\’ve reached that point in my life where the only thing I want to exercise is caution.\”
Just because we\’re getting older doesn\’t mean we can slack off on exercise. You can choose to be 20-years-old or 50-years-young. The difference is often in how well we take care of ourselves — and that means exercise and eating right..

Dining Out…

Rob Eshman December 11, 1997

As a rule, you don\’t go to museums to eat. Unless you\’re like me — someone who, when push comes to shove, prefers great food to great art. I make no apologies: The last time I visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, I ate a tasteless, watery and expensive fruit salad in the cafe there. That I remember. What exhibit I was there to see I\’ve long forgotten. It had something to do with famous dead artists.
