“When the month of Av enters, we reduce our joy.” -Talmud

The month of Av is very special because we are taught to be happy and sad at the same time.  Though we are mourning the loss of the destruction of both holy temples, we are happy to be alive and to be able to serve G-d.   This is a great month of reflection; not only about what happened to our ancestors but what we do today to make ourselves a bit holier.

During the nine days of Av leading up to the fast of Tisha B’av, the Torah tells us to avoid certain actions and activities which include weddings/celebrations, shaving, haircuts, listening to music, wearing new clothing, washing clothes, and eating meat (except on shabbat).

To respect the Nine Days, I will only post dairy or parve recipes.  I hope you enjoy them (but not too much).
