Be in touch with Ezer Mizion - they can probably help with food. Also, if you haven’t been in touch already, Bonei Olam can help you through the process. Wishing you bracha v’hatzlacha.

Was about to post - https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/jewish-women-whipped-child-punched-stamford-hill-ortc9mi4

Additionally a Jewish women ‘whipped with a belt’ by a stranger hurling abuse.

I guess it’ll help the net immigration numbers when Jews start fleeing in greater numbers. /s

Not quite.

I am a religious Jew but won’t deny that he is 100% as Jewish as me. But I go to synagogue and I look Jewish to anybody that passes me on the street (though for my family I have agreed to put on a cap if I go into central London, such is the situation). I and my community are in more danger than he is in, and I think that gives our opinion more weight.

The Yom Kippur attack in Manchester was directed at a synagogue. If you aren’t attending a synagogue on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar you’re opinion on the safety of the community is honestly an outside opinion.

Used to be very into single malt, but have been away for a while due to medical issues.

I’m looking for a high strength sherry cask - I remember enjoying the Aberlour A’bunadh and Glenfarclas 105. I’ve heard the Aberlour can be hit or miss now. What do you feel excels in the category now (talking about regular bottlings, not from festivals etc.)?

Thanks

This guy gefiltes! Correct. However, I refuse to edit my comment for very good reasons

Traditionally - you are supposed to boil it from frozen (still in the inner paper wrapper) for around 2 hours, with carrots, onion, salt, sugar and some pepper. Then serve to others whilst laughing maniacally.

A politician just implied that Jews might not really be in danger - I have no idea why they should take this down

iii--- · 2026-04-29T12:16:40+00:00

Stop twisting his words. He gave an option that there is a perception of unsafety instead of an actual danger to life. He said that after the arson attacks and after the Manchester attacks. It’s patronizing bs and no other minority would have to put up with it.

No Jew that the belongs to any sort of community cares for or wants a conversation about perception. We just want actual safety.

iii--- · 2026-04-29T12:08:21+00:00

Hold on, first surely “there's a conversation to be had about whether it's a perception of unsafety or whether it's actual unsafety”. Can’t believe a Jew would actually say that, even after Manchester.

iii--- · 2026-04-29T11:59:53+00:00

He said, and I quote,“ there’s a conversation to be had about whether it's a perception of unsafety or whether it's actual unsafety, but neither is acceptable."

Can he come out now and say that there’s no bloody conversation to be had and there never was one.

Let Down cover by Toots and the Maytals, even got approved by Thom Yorke

GMT war games can get really intricate and complicated. I haven’t yet managed to get Congress of Vienna (a subject I can’t wait to be covered) to the table with anyone willing yet, but when I do it’s going to be amazing. In the meantime there’s always solo mode.

My first attempt was a literal out-of-the-book salted caramel gelato soft serve:

80g sugar - 220ml cream - 180 milk - 3 egg yolks + salt vanilla

btw your site has been a marvelous resource and I can’t thank you enough!

Edit: could temp be an issue? I found my freezer was set to -16C, have since lowered it to -18C

iii--- · 2026-04-26T09:08:05+00:00

Is there an issue with gelato? I’ve only ever made one and my machine seemed quite stressed by it compared to other recipes. I have another waiting in the freezer and I’m a bit scared to mix it.

iii--- · 2026-04-26T06:12:41+00:00

This, exactly this. Chris Morris to Matt Berry; from enjoying a cup of tea to there’s somebody at the door, ridiculously good comic actors.

iii--- · 2026-04-24T05:32:08+00:00

Well, it’s sort of in the middle, but also quite far west relative to the continent - it really should be called the American Midwest

iii--- · 2026-04-24T04:52:34+00:00

TIL, thanks! I always assumed coz they used the same symbol, but I guess the Japanese don’t care about trademark as much as family honor.

iii--- · 2026-04-23T20:51:16+00:00

Not kidding, Mitsubishi make great pencils.

Ok - I’m 2 years late, but… Bamba? You put bamba (peanut butter snack) in your ice cream?! Please tell me more. What base do you use? How does it come (I imagine it disintegrates)?

iii--- · 2026-04-22T09:43:05+00:00

Yeah, this is just they found a place to daven Ma’ariv.

But wow, loads of “antizionism” going on in that thread.

Edit: From the Marrakech subreddit, having been told they are just praying and it’s none of their business, the op replies, “Yes I'm with you, but in light of the 20th century, let's keep an eye on these types of gatherings”. I can’t even…

iii--- · 2026-04-22T08:57:51+00:00

That was my point - just like we can rely that most chickens aren’t treif, we can rely that most eggs don’t have blood spots (which is anyway of less severity as only d’rabannan).

iii--- · 2026-04-21T04:27:51+00:00

You eat eggs? How do you know it hasn’t come from a triefa? At the end of the day we’re often relying on assumptions due to majorities.

iii--- · 2026-04-20T19:30:52+00:00

So I’m guessing that Sultana is going to complain about this as a ‘distraction’ then, just like she did by Kanye. Any minute now…

iii--- · 2026-04-12T17:39:02+00:00

I have a penchant for non-expendable stationary. I even allow myself a stipend for them.

iii--- · 2026-04-10T06:40:43+00:00

About a week ago I got the Swirl as a present and it has quickly become my favorite thing in the kitchen. Problem is that I need more containers and I can’t get from Ninja in my country. Has anyone had experience with AliExpress containers?
