Rosh Hashana is right around the corner – and I don’t know about you, but for me, this time of year can be a leetle bit stressful!
Sometimes, I just need to get.away. Enjoy a few moments of silence – when no one is asking me to make them a snack or braid them a challah or invite them to a meal!
Ideally, those moments will feature either a cold glass of white wine – or a steaming hot cup of tea.
It’s my version of “Calgon, take me away”!
And since I love you all so much – and since I’m guessing I’m not the only one that needs a little break during these hectic days leading up to Rosh Hashana – I’m super excited to treat you to this fun giveaway!
Two lucky Kosher on a Budget readers will each win a $50 gift card to Jwines.com – my new favorite online store with just about every imaginable kosher wine on the market.
Whether you’re looking for rare and high end or inexpensive and blue (aka the Baron Moscato!), JWines.com has you covered. And from now until September 6th, you can save 10% off your Jwines orders when you use the coupon code kosherbudget at checkout.
Of course two lucky reader will get their own $50 gift card for super splurging on their favorite vinos. (And yes, gift cards can be used toward shipping, so no out of pocket costs for my winners!)
Now, sure, you can use these gift cards to buy some Rosh Hashana wine to serve at your table – or to bring as a gift for a host. But I won’t judge if you decide to squirrel a bottle or two away for yourself!

I de-stress by going for a run or playing tennis. A massage always helps also.

I haven’t figured out a de-stress activity that works for me. The wine might help! 🙂
I de-stress by trying to focus on/learn something new about the spiritual side of the yomim tovim. That way, it turns the drudgery of hours in the kitchen into something more meaningful.
It also helps to crank up the music and dance around the kitchen!

I “de-stress” by rewarding myself with some little “present”- A little something I get for myself just as a treat. Some fun new makeup, costume jewelry, or yummy ice cream. 🙂

I am hoping the wine will be a good destresser. Otherwise, I don’t have a good answer.

I de-stress by reading, taking a long walk or getting together with friends. I try to avoid holiday stress by planning ahead, keeping the menus simple and cooking and baking whatever I can in advance.

I de-stress with a glass of red wine and a piece of dark chocolate- so heart heathy 🙂

I am a big cheater – instead of having to de-stress I just try to avoid stress! I go ahead and accept any hint of an invitation for holiday meals (lucky having family nearby!) and when we’re home I keep things simple. I know the honor of yomtov deserves special treatment but in my home the philosophy is that the best special treatment is a calm home. I will definitely prepare special foods, but what that means is something like a special meat dish (we rarely spend on meat for non-holidays) not five courses with multiple side dishes – we’ll have approximately the same amount of food as always, just of a special quality, so that doesn’t have to mean harder or more work. Putting up a nice cut of meat to roast isn’t that much more complicated than putting up anything we’d normally eat for dinner.

I de-stress from all the Yom Tov madness by being grateful that I am going to my parents house for chag (sorry!). Once I get there and chag begins, that’s when the madness starts for me.. (sigh..)

De-stress? I wish I knew how! But I do love to learn about the essence of the chag.

I destress with a jog on the treadmill. A glass of wine doesn’t hurt either!
