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!

A deep breath and refocusing on what this season is all about. All the work is not just craziness but purposeful!
I destress by running around with my boys (relay races, races or floor exercise competition)! We all get some exercise that way and we all feel better!
I destress by writing lists of things that need to get done and try to do three items on the list a day.

To de-stress, I do get a pedicure right before the school year begins and then right before the New Year. I also do my shopping alone, so I can think clearly. Normally I insist on help for my regular weekly shopping.
I keep my stress in check by making lists: shopping lists, to do lists, etc. And I usually try to escape just before yom tov for a mani/pedi. After days in the kitchen, I deserve it!
uh, i dont know how to de-stress! lol…

Love your site and I de-stress by having a glass of kosher wine with my boyfriend:-) It would be nice to win some new wine and from a new group.
reading, WINE, going for a run, trying to be as organized as possible by planning ahead of time, venting to friends. Did I mention WINE??

Chocolate! my favorite de-stresser!
I joined your daily emails, which I’ve been meaning to do for a while. Thanks for all the great tips and deals!
Compared to Pesach this season is a breeze! I probably don’t need to de-stress because our prep is simpler from the beginning: just plan menu, shop and cook, and I try to simplify it as much as possible. We don’t have our own sukkah, we don’t make a point to buy new clothes for everyone, and we attend a few meals in our synagogue.

Sadly, I don’t really have a way to destress. 🙁 Maybe by writing lists so I feel slightly more in control.

I de-stress from pre-Yom Tov madness by going into Yom Tov. :>) I also have liked KoaB on facebook.
Destressing is not my strong point, but I do enjoy a good nap…
Did #1 & 2 too.
I don’t do anything to de-stress for Yom Tov other than try to make sure I’m caught up/ahead at work so I do not arrive back afterward to chaos. I find that there are so many other things much more stressful than what food we’ll have and where we’ll eat… Finding time to build the sukkah is a challenge since we cannot park on the street overnight w/o getting a permit, which we can get for 10-14 days max., and the sukkah takes up the driveway spot of the minivan.
