Baby succulents are especially wonderful to grow in summer with children who love tiny things! We’re growing ours in an adorable “Gina Ktana” (Hebrew for mini garden), complete with a tiny animal friend. This is a wonderfully adaptable project for children and grown-ups alike. So let’s go make a mini garden!
Celebrate summer with Malabi, a delicately sweet Israeli milk pudding perfumed with rosewater. We topped ours with with diced peaches, peanuts and golden honey - a delicious fusion of Israeli street food and the classic American dessert of peaches and cream. Served in small glass jars, it looks like a happy burst of sunshine.
We’re getting ready for a new season and extra sunny days by making favorite summer-time yarn crafts, but with a new twist - like this sun wheel! We made it as a wand to wave high at the sun for the upcoming summer solstice. You’re invited to make one too! We show you all the details in our DIY tutorial!
To welcome the sunniest day of the year, we made summer solstice pom-pom wands. The circle shape of the pom-pom reminds us of the sun, and we selected yarn colors to represent sunny days. You only need a few materials to make your own. So let’s go make a pom-pom wand!
We’ve officially welcomed a new Jewish month - Tammuz, and with it the official start of summer! On the Jewish calendar, the summer season includes the months Tammuz, Av and Elul. Join us in celebrating summer with yummy foods, summer crafts and some special family outings.
