”Share some with others – we all can use some more sweetness in life! Congregation Kehillah does a honey tasting. There are so many delicious varieties of honey. They come from diverse sources and have diverse qualities, but all are sweet, much like the precious individuals I have the pleasure of teaching and serving.”

“There is a tradition on Friday evenings at the Shabbat dinner table to sprinkle salt on the challahs, but during the Rosh Hashanah season we substitute the salt with honey for a sweet new year. Additionally, I try as best I can to surround myself with my family and friends – for those are my real ‘honeys.’ ”
Sharona Silverman, Director of the Deutsch Family Shalom Center at Temple Chai

“I like to make honey cake. It reminds me of generations past. Seems our next generation would rather have chocolate than honey, but I make the honey cake anyway as a link to our heritage. It just makes me feel good.”
