Kosher Mini Chefs President's Week 2011

During President’s Week, on Tuesday February 21 and Thursday February 23, the Kosher Mini Chefs at Neshama-Chabad of Manhattan Beach were hard at work baking and creating delicious dishes. On Tuesday, Shula Winner, co-director of Neshama-Chabad of Manhattan Beach taught the kids how to bake a beautiful challah from scratch, carrot muffins, and a delicious soy sauce spaghetti salad. The children spent the day designing their own aprons, learning about Kosher cooking, and preparing, cooking, and packaging their own yummy creations.

The Kosher Mini Chefs were very excited to come back on Thursday and learn new recipes. On Thursday, they made franks in blanks, a sweet noodle kugel, chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate covered bananas. Yum!

The chefs worked with partners, and learned how to work together in the kitchen.

The Special Kosher Mini Chefs program will take place on Sunday March 13 in preparation for the holiday of Purim.

L’Chaim - Nazdarovya!

“In Odessa we closed the shutters when my grandfather lit the Menorah. Now, we celebrate in public, both indoors and outdoors”, said Rima Mazurovsky about the series of Chanukah events by Project Neshama – Chabad Lubavitch of Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach.

On the second night of Chanukah, Project Neshama - Chabad Lubavitch hosted a lavish Chanukah Gala – Celebrating Jewish Pride at the OPM Hall. The luxurious lounge was overflowing with delicacies, including salads, sushi, pastries, and, of course, an open bar with drinks for every taste. The attendees were mostly young Russian-American Jewish professionals from the Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach communities. Guests stayed well into the evening dining, talking to friends, and enjoying the beauty of the holiday.

Hundreds of Children and their parents participated on Sunday by the Grand Chanukah Carnival, consisting of Chanukah themed booths, at the Seabreeze Jewish Center. Volunteers from the Chabad C-Teen Program ran the booths. The event was organized by Reb. Esther Winner. “We want the children to feel that Chanukah speaks to them in their language and make the Jewish experience a part of their life”, said Rabbi Zushe Winner, Director of Chabad Lubavitch of Brighton Beach.

Sunday evening hundreds joined Chabad for the Grand Menorah lighting at the Holocaust Park in Manhattan Beach. “Communism couldn’t extinguish the light – the Jewish Menorah inside us. The flame of our Jewish Pride, Jewish Tradition and Jewish Faith must illuminate our lives,” said Rabbi Avrohom Winner, director of Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach.

Tuesday evening the seventh night of Chanukah, Rabbi Moshe D. Winner and Rabbi Shimon Silver led the Public Menorah Lighting of the Brighton Beach Menorah at the Hennessey Triangle on Ocean Parkway and the boardwalk.

Ladies Zumba @ Solo Pilates -12/20/10

On December 20th, an exciting Ladies Zumba class was held at Solo Pilates. While salsaing and merenguing (salsa and meringue are traditional Zumba moves) the ladies had a fun and challenging workout, led by Irina Logman, a New York State licensed acupuncturist and a Nationally Board Certified herbalist. After the workout, there were light fruit and dessert refreshments for the participants.

After exercising the physical parts of their body, it was now time to exercise the spiritual. Shula Winner, co-director of Neshama – Chabad of Manhattan Beach gave a talk based on the book “Towards a Meaningful Life.” She explained that a Jewish soul can be compared to the wings of a bird. The wings enable a bird to reach heights it could not have reached without them, and the soul, our spiritual wings, gives us the ability to soar higher and overcome challenges. One can take advantage of this gift, by tuning into the soul and performing good deed. Through this one is able to unite the physical body with the spiritual, and there is no longer a battle between the spiritual and the physical, yet rather a harmonious and meaningful life.

Thank you to Irina for a great class, and to all the ladies who attended!
