WNYC Radio had Reggae-Rapper Matisyahu on for an interview today, to talk about his new, beardless, look. Although he called this “the biggest transformation of his life,” Matisyahu assured his fans that he is still an observant Jew, and pointed out that the very next morning after removing his beard he went to the Mikvah and Davened Shachris with a Minyan. He said his wife and kids, who are in California, did not yet see him without his facial hair.

Home to national parks and resort ski slopes, Wyoming is currently without a Jewish ritual bath. One community is trying to change that.

For most women, heading to the mikvah – the ritual bath that lies at the heart of Jewish family purity laws – does not involve surprise encounters with wild animals, traipsing through three-feet of snow or hacking through a frozen river in subzero temperatures to reach flowing water.

Koshering the White House Kitchen

New York Times

Rabbi Levi Shemtov oversees a team, including Tommy Kurpradit, second from left, the executive sous-chef, in koshering the White House kitchen.

First, spritz the kitchen’s stainless steel counters with disinfectant. Scrub vigorously. Next, wrap counters in tinfoil, tight, tight, tight. Now stretch plastic wrap over the foil and seal with masking tape. Then repeat for every surface that could possibly come into contact with food — yes, even the hanging pot rack.
