Last minute we decided to take a New Years mini-cation in Newport, RI. Despite snow winter advisories, we drove up Wednesday night and will be coming back to NY for Shabbos. We were hoping to go to Providence but the eruv is down so it’s not worth it to us. We had a blast hanging [...]

This year I had the privelege of hosting my first seder at my In-Laws. Even though I had reviewed what was to be done , I had to wing it when it came to singing. But overall, we all had a good time.
