Happy New Year

Rabbi's Message

Happy New Year...Again! This year starts off very well for CAT as we are now having services at Belmont Village in Westwood. The location is fantastic, the parking extraordinary and their staff accommodating and a joy to work with.

Currently, our large Chanukah Menorah is gracing the halls of Belmont giving ample competition to their beautiful Christmas Tree.

Both shining brightly sends a message to those who believe that the world is losing its luster.

Stay well, be well and we wish you the most healthy, productive and laugh filled year, ever.

With deep love and affection, respectfully, Rabbi Jerry.

The Interview

Sony has managed to get embroiled in an international Brouhaha which is, sadly, more 'brou' than 'haha.'

Wild

Whenever I get a burning desire to go on a hike, I make a lox, cream cheese and bagel sandwich, bring a bottle of water, get into my car and drive up to a scenic overlook on Mulholland.

Rabbi's a Chef

Celebrity Kosher Cookbook

Leonard Nimoy's pickled herring and William Shatner's

knaidlach.

No we're not being funny. Those are just two recipes listed in "Celebrity Kosher Cookbook."

Published in 1975, Rabbi Jerry Cutler and Miriam Hall (Monty's wife) joined forces to collect as many recipes as they could. Notable contributors include Lucille Ball, Joan Rivers, Kirk Douglas, and Walter Matthau.

Last month, Jewniverse posted about the book!

Check it out!
