All My Leaven

Cleaning the house for Passover- not an easy task. For the average person, there is the feather and the candle... but for the lucky Jew (probably a boy who loves big trucks and has more than a few pennies to spare) there is silversmith Avi Biran's steamroller for collecting the chametz.

Sung to the tune of “All My Lovin”
(by Gary Teblum: is he prolific or what????)

Search my house and I’ll find it
Tomorrow I’ll miss it
The feather will help me be true
And a candle as well
Means that then I can sell
And I’ll sell all my leaven to you

I’ll find crumbs in the kitchen
The kinder will pitch in
I’ll try not to leave any clue
And then while its away
I’ll eat matzah each day
‘cause I sold all my leaven to you

All my leaven, I will sell to you
All my leaven, Rabbi, I’ll be true

I’ll find crumbs in the kitchen
The kinder will pitch in
I’ll try not to leave any clue

And then while its away
I’ll eat matzah each day
‘cause I sold all my leaven to you

All my leaven, I will sell to you
All my leaven, Rabbi, I’ll be true
All my leaven, All my leaven
Woo, all my leaven, I will sell to you

Another lovely Pesach marriage

Ron and Brenda Orenstein offer yet another option for your seder table- seder plates made from wood (they also have lovely Elijah's and Miriam's cups). Ron and Brenda Orenstein have designed and produced Judaica and functional items primarily for the home since 1977. Their love affair with creating imaginative crafts has been rewarded with personal notes and letters from appreciative collectors and recognition and placement of their work in the permanent collections of Museums and Jewish Centers. Their work is contemporary and has clean lines, geometric shapes and it is always functional. They use sustainable American Hardwoods. The work is all hand turned, carved and constructed by Ron and Brenda.



While I love beautiful things, I also am quite practical. I love the Presentation Seder Plate because it would save so much room on my table. No longer would I need a separate plate for my matzah and the seder plate. Someone will still spill some red wine on my white table cloth, but it would not be Passover if tht did not happen.
