The Mayanot Blog

Mayanot is celebrating a multitude of births this month.  These families have all been blessed with daughters: Mazel Tov to Arie and Chana Paller on the birth of their daughter, Menucha Rochel Mazel Tov to Ari and Chana Herzog, also on the birth of  their little girl Mazel Tov to Chaim and Ayelet Karp on the birth of their daughter, Adele Neryah We wish you much health, happiness and nachas!

Recently, weird and wonderful things have been happening in the Mayanot kitchen – an array of magical aromas waft through the hallowed halls of the Yeshiva to a chorus of rumbling tummies. Mealtimes have become a highlight of the day. What or who has caused this food revolution at Mayanot - our new chef, Yitschak Rosenzweig. Yitschak hails from Brazil, just outside of Sao Paulo, a city which UNESCO  has chosen as one of the best places in the world for gastronomy,  ‘that means I taste everything’, Yitschak jovially explained. Yitschak has been at Mayanot for a month but he has a long history of working with food, developing his craft in various kitchens across Sao Paulo. However, after making aliyah nine years ago, Yitschak decided to become a teacher. Soon, the pull of the kitchen was too strong to resist, and six years ago, Yitschak returned to the trade he loves so much.  Hearing him talk about being in the kitchen, it is hard to believe Yitschak could have worked as anything else.
