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 making sure not to procrastinate (plan out what i want to see happen, i.e. my menu). Beyond having a game plan, though I try to focus on Ikar Ha’inyan (the main point) of the high holidays: introspection, tshuva, & overall trying to be a better person. For me, davening on a daily basis throughout the course of the year has been a struggle due to time constraints; during the month of Elul this year, however, I’ve made the time to daven & (as trite as it sounds) its been helping me become relaxed & centered (kind of like meditation). And at the end of the day, I tell myself that thanks to G-d, everything has this curious way of working out, so no need to stress out too much. I hope I can keep this in mind as I’m cooking : )
Thank you for the oh so helpful deals, coupons, & advice. I wish everyone a Shana Tova u’Metuka.
And, yes, I am subscribed to the weekly Kosher on a Budget emails : )

I have had a hard time destressing other than a nap in the past. And then I took a hypnobirthing class and learned to meditate. It is WONDERFUL!
Liked you on Facebook. Don’t know how I’ve missed that before. Oh well. Fixed now. 🙂
To destress, I find time to sit and laugh with my kids
I like you, I really do – on facebook
This year I am looking forward to de-stressing by having my mother in town! She’s coming for Rosh Hashanah and arriving a few days early.
I talk to my friends and surf to find interesting recipes, menus and ideas. I already like you on FB and subscribe to your email. Yay!
I de-stress by having date night with my husband and going out for dinner or ice-cream together and just talking without a million things distracting us. If possible I also love to de-stress by horseback riding or taking a Yoga class. A glass of wine at the end of the day doesn’t hurt either!
I subscribed to your email:)
I destress by exercising and particularly like walking and listening to rock and roll. I also think about my grandkids and all the other good things in my life.

Wish I had a way to de-stress but my de-stressing usually happens after I light the candles and relax into the yom tov 😉

I de-stress from all the work by sending the kids to have some quality Bubbie time with my mom. Also, creating a menu that I know will be fun for me to make. I really like cooking and baking so if it is something that I am looking forward to doing it is a lot less stressful.
I have already like KOAB on FB 🙂
I have already subscribed to KOAB emails. Thanks for all the wonderful information.
I destress by splurging on extra treats. Normally I don’t allow potato chips in the house since that is my weakness, but I’ll pick up a big to enjoy!
I de-stress by making lists, lists, and more lists. Knowing what I need to do, and crossing things off my list keeps it all under control. Then when there’s nothing left to do, or no more time to do it, I exhale. (Facebook fan).
I check your Web site, of course 🙂

I de-stress by alternating fun and fancy meals with ones where we just have challah, soup and salad. That way we have plenty of time to read on the couch!

I destress by going on kosher on a budget!
I like you on facebook and everywhere! I do love a glass of wine before yontof but also I try to get just about everything done by the day before erev yontof. It’s not 100% possible but if I have 2 hours at the end with nothing to do I feel pretty good!
