  • Thank you for addressing this important issue. However, I am disappointed regarding the conclusion on your article. Gashmius is not the problem in this situation. Its not as if everyone somehow wanting "less" will solve the tuition crisis. Myself and many of my friends are encountering the issue of how they can pay for the basics such as feeding, clothing, and paying tuition for their families; they are not expecting to go on extravagant vacations and live wealthy lifestyles. The families who are experiencing this financial crisis don't need to cut out fancy homes and vacations, they need to put food on the table and educate their children. Not sure what is "gashmuis" about that.

  • While some people may want to make their own nut butters it is not necessary to do so. Many different nut butters are available at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Kroger. Kroger company goes by a couple of different names, the other two use only one name nationally. Local natural food stores will also have a variety of nut butters.

  • Rabbi Daniel Feldman . In Koheles : A time to weep and a time to laugh . this brings back memories . In the winter of 1944 i was in a satelite concentration camp of dachau . Some of the inmates were greek jews from saloniki, greece . in the evenings ,when we had a little free-time ,some of these ,hungry and thirsty fellows, including their Chacham , were engaged in singing , joking and laughing ,and all sorts of slapstick. To me,a youngster of 14, It was diabolical .However , looking back all these years I came to understand their strange behaviour,.Perhaps it was these very acts that was instrumental from going insane . It was ,laughter, that filled our mouths, certainly not food . b'chvod rav chaim weiser

  • In the 'CHOCOLATE MAPLE ALMOND CUP' recipe, you didn't mention where to include the maple syrup and the chopped almonds. Where do you add these items?

  • I am so grateful for the "Live and Let Live" message. I never thought of it that way because I hear of it so much in Twelve Step Programs. Thank you for help. Carole
