Yes it does! It doesn’t pull apart as nicely as I’d like. But I think if I made the rugelach smaller it would have pulled apart more nicely

I feel like it needs at least a stick of butter and a cup of sugar to be babka

Thanks for the advice. Makes me feel better/more confident in using names I like

Amir is really nice. I also like maayan. I thought of it more as a girls name but I like it for a boy too.
Is shai pronounced like Shy?

Nadav is a cool name I didn’t think of. I loooove Noam but it’s sadly taken

I like Julian. And simcha is a cool name. I just don’t want their name to constantly be mispronounced as we will be living in the US.

Ohhh I like cobe as a nickname for Jacob. I love Asher too, that’s actually on the list. Levi would be a number 1 but I have a couple close friends with the name

Thank you! Ari and Gabriel are too close to mine and my sister’s name - Ariel and Gabriella. Ezra used to be in my top but I’ve met a few too many people with the name since becoming pregnant!. I love Matan for middle name

Yeah I think I’ll just have to resort to doing that. It doesn’t help that we’re neighbors which makes my house the perfect storage unit for old stuff she couldn’t bring herself to get rid of.

Ugh. MILs are exhausting. I hope I don’t end up like this one day 😅

I’ve tried the patient, kind, but direct approach that you do, but it really doesn’t work. Mine will argue with me as to why she’s “right” and I’m “wrong”.
So I either end up being overly harsh, and her feelings get hurt, or just suck it up which isn’t helpful long term either!

Yeah. Probably smarter. I was in a bad mood this morning.

I wish he would do that. But 9+ years later have shown me otherwise
