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 cooking and freezing in advance, that way I know I am well prepared.

It has taken many years of practice but I have begun to learn not to get stressed in the first place so then I do not need to destress. Cook less, clean less – everyone will be happier with a happier YOU!
I have also learned how to knit this summer. Knitting keeps me very calm!
Shana Tova everyone. Have a beautiful and serene Yom Tov! That is the way Hashem wants to see you!
I also make sure to go for a swim at the gym and take a good shower there before coming home erev yom tov…
I cook in advance and freeze. Erev Yom Tov I make sure to get in a swim at the gym and a long nice shower before coming home to last minute preparations. Then I collapse on the couch the second after I light candles….
