I hate reading – it’s boring!


Have you heard this? Does it worry you? It should! Reading education stops after third grade. Yet kids are given large heavy textbooks with a vocabulary that is well above their reading level. They take fancy notes or they make note cards to memorize a few facts for a test. Reading for understanding? Reading for enjoyment? Would you like to change this? Email Renee at tutoring.renee@gmail.comor call 818-341-1400.

Curious George Swings into Spring


You know it must be springtime if a curious monkey named George is dancing on the balcony at sunrise! George is so excited about Spring that he wants Hundley to have Spring Fever too. But even blooming flowers, baby animals and canoe rides cannot make Hundley love Spring. Even worse, Hundley gets lost in the country. Searching for his lost friend, George accidentally launches the hot air balloon rally and sails over the countryside. Luckily he manages to grab Hundley from a hilltop along the way. Together they return triumphantly to the city.

Onions – there are round ones and long green ones, yes?


Well, no. Here are 33 different onions with pictures/names/best uses of each.


http://www.saveur.com/article/Techniques/onion-guide


The ones you see most often are yellow, red, white and sweet varieties. Hint: to keep the tears at bay, chill. To remove some of the bite, rinse.


http://www.chow.com/food-news/135440/what-type-of-onion-is-best-for-cooking/


Grow your own. Show your kids where their food comes from. Onions need a long growing season, so sets planted now will harvest in the fall. They need full sun and consistent watering and can be grown in containers.


http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/2300/

Find onion sets at Green Thumb, OSH, Armstrong, Sego, etc. Call around for bunching onions (green/spring onions) or bulb/globe.


 


 


GMOs – more environmental damage?


With the increase of GMO soy and corn being grown in the Western corn belt, grassland areas are being converted at a rate “comparable to deforestation rates in Brazil Malaysia and Indonesia.” Not only does this likely have significant impact on global climate change, it will then affect our long-term food supply. Why is Monsanto suing farmers who save seeds? (They’ve been awarded $23k+ so far.)

Passover: Sell Your Chametz for Tzedakah


The Torah teaches us that during Passover, we should not eat, or have in our possession, any chametz (leaven) – any of the foods prohibited for consumption during Passover. Temple Judea is offering the opportunity to symbolically sell your chametz in the traditional mode. The chametz stays packed up in your house. The Bill of Sale provided just transfers the legal possession to a non-Jew. Look through your kitchen, make a list of the chametz items, sign your name on it and indicate that you release ownership of your chametz during Passover and return it along with a check for $18 (Chai) made out to MAZON – A Jewish Response to Hunger. Mail before Passover to Temple Judea, 5429 Lindley Avenue, Tarzana.
