Passover Recipes with Mac n CheeseLet's take a moment to think about grapes. Is there anything they can't do? From wines and salads to raisins and garnishes, they are a significant part of our culinary culture. No wonder we have Tu B'av to celebrate the grape harvest! 

Let's also take a moment to think about that special someone in our lives. Looking for a way to show how much you care? We're here for you! Below you will find different recipes from fellow congregants to help make a party, a date, or a simple shared meal even more special. And yes, wine may be involved.
