Make no mistake about it: This is not your “regular” war. Iran is the self-proclaimed leader of the Islamic world, and for decades, they have financially supported terror regimes across the Middle East.

Our goal is to perform the mitzvos of the  night together with grandparents and grandchildren.

Borekas are seriously one of my ultimate favorite appetizer dishes in the world. This version is filled with spiced meat and nuts. Might sound a little wacky, but it’s awesome! I decided to make a family-size braided one, you know, just for fun. You won’t believe how easy it is to make, guys!
