Now that Passover 2012 is but a memory, I am immersed in batches of my "signature" AUNT REVA'S MANDEL BREAD, which I was asked to donate to one of my favorite organization, HADASSAH, which as many of you know, is the largest women's Zionist organization in the world. Prior to, and after Hurricane Katrina, I was honored to be President of the New Orleans Chapter. During our temporary relocation when we were forced out of our homes, I addressed numerous synagogues and temples in Houston and the New York, New Jersey areas. The response was always the same. "We had no idea that Katrina affected people like us!" From the media coverage, most people believed that this killer storm affected only low-income families and the homeless.
Since HADASSAH is close to my heart, I am happy to spend a few days making these delicious little
treats for its major fundraiser, Shining Star.
Last weekend in New Orleans was the FRENCH QUARTER FESTIVAL. I told everyone there are
festivals all the time in the Big Easy!!! It seems that this festival has grown larger each year. Some say it has become better than JAZZ FEST, which is saying a lot! I did not attend this year, and
do not know what Kosher food was available. If anyone would like this information, please post your question, and I will do some research.
Just a reminder-JAZZ FEST this year is April 28-30 and May 4-7. For ANY information on Jazz Fest or anything Kosher and New Orleans and Deep South-related, contact me.
