Free 7-Day Passover Prep Party with Smashing The Glass (Starts in 48 hours!)

16/03/2021 by Karen

It’s hard to believe that for most of us, it’s going to be another lockdown Passover. I think we were all really hoping the pandemic would’ve wound down by now. But as far as making the holiday special goes, we’ve got you!

I’m hosting free online gathering with sessions on how to host a Seder + Passover recipes + live music + Haggadah ideas + cook-a-longs + prizes + more – all inside a pop-up Facebook group.

In a year when we need community more than ever, we’ll be making chocolate caramel matzah crunch (and other how-to sessions). We’ll listen to live music, and get ready for Seder (whether it’s your first or you’re a regular), all whilst chatting about the symbolism of it all.

You’ll meet like-minded Jewish women from not just your local area, but all over the world #squadgoals.

I’ll be going live every day inside the Passover Prep Party pop-up Facebook group to talk about a different element of Pesach and everyone who takes part will get a ‘Passover Prep Party bingo card too!

Each square will have something different on it ranging from very basic things like ‘buy your Matzah’ to making table decor to more meaningful squares about breaking free from things that are holding us back etc. We’ll all have fun trying to get a line on the bingo card – or even a full house…. and there will be PRIZES too!

On yes – prizes like Amazon vouchers, a Pesach Box from Israeli Box and a mystery grand prize that I will reveal during the Challenge!

And did I mention it’s 100% FREE?!

The challenge starts on Thursday and it’s for everyone whether you’re Jewish, Jew-ish, married, engaged or single… come on in!

Passover in the Time of Social Distancing

07/04/2020 by Emily Sacharin

Made by Rebekah’s #NextYearInPerson Campaign

Why is this Passover different from all other Passovers?

One of the most important and beloved times of the Jewish year, Passover starts tomorrow night. But for most of us, the holiday isn’t going to look the way we expected it to. Social distancing means no getting together with friends and family for seders, and grocery limitations will likely lead to some lackluster menus.

As Smashing The Glass’s Community Manager, I know so many of our Brides Club members have had to cancel long-held plans to celebrate with loves ones, in favor of staying home.  

No seder plate, no problem: Made by Rebekah‘s got a great tutorial for making your own.

I feel you. As The World’s Singlest Wedding Blogger™, I’ll be spending Passover all alone in my studio apartment in New York City, which seems to be the world’s coronavirus epicenter at present. It all happened gradually, and then suddenly, and by the time I realized how serious the situation was, and long it was likely to last, it was really out of the question to travel out of state to be with my parents.

I’m going to be honest, it’s pretty scary here. I haven’t left my apartment in three weeks (I think? Time is weird now)—not even to go to the grocery store. For a while it was looking iffy as to whether or not I’d even get my hands on a box of matzah (thankfully, I was able to secure myself a grocery delivery slot, eventually). Other than a furtive thank you to said grocery delivery guy, I’ve had zero human contact that hasn’t taken place through a screen.

The prettiest Zoom seder you ever did see, courtesy of Made by Rebekah 

We’re lucky to live in a time when it’s so easy to be virtually connected, of course, and where Zoom seders are a possibility. But it’s not the same. And whether you’re in lockdown alone, with a partner, or even with a kid or two, it’s never easy. Nothing drives it home (or not, haha) like a holiday. It’s okay to be sad. I certainly am.

In addition to the plethora of roles I serve at Team STG, I also run Poppy and Prune, a Jewish food history and culture blog, and so it was only natural for me to conclude that it might be worthwhile to spend some time reading up on how Jews have observed Passover in difficult circumstances throughout history. Because the truth is, while what we’re facing this year is totally unprecedented for most of us living today, throughout history there’ve been plenty of plagues afflicting the Jewish people—both literal and metaphorical ones.
