Parshat Masei- Blueprints

In this weeks Parsha, Parshat Masei, it is time for Bnei Yisroel to enter Eretz Yisroel. But first the seven Caananite nations need to be wiped out. There is no question as to why they have to be wiped out. Bnei Yisroel can not live in Eretz Yisroel together with them. So Hashems make a blueprint of the borders for the boundries of Israel so Bnei Yisroel will know where to apply the Mitzvot of Eretz Yisroel. I chose to make blueprint cupcakes to represent what Hashem showed Bnei Yisroel.

The cupcakes are also blue and white for Israel.

May we see peace very soon.

Good Shabbos

Parshat Matot- Tovel a Cupcake

In this weeks Parsha, Parshat Matot we learn the Mitzvah of Tevilas Keilim. Bnei Yisroel just got back from war with the Midyan, and they have brought back all of their belongings. Clothes, jewelry, pots and pans etc. Because the pots and pans and utensils have been used for non kosher food, in order for Bnei Yisroel to use it they need to Kasher those things to make them pure. The process is simple, they have to dip the utensil into the Mikvah and say a Bracha. I chose to make toveling cupcakes to represent the Mitzvah of Tevilas Keilim.

Hashem should keep everyone in Israel safe.

Good Shabbos

Parshat Pinchas- Eliyahi Hanavi (Parshat Balak/July 4th)

In this weeks Parsha, Parshat Pinchas, Pinchas is rewarded for single handedly saving Bnei Yisroel from a plague (he killed Zimri who was a nasi and a leader of his shevet but he sinned) that would have wiped out Bnei Yisroel. Hashem rewards him with a very long life.400 years later in Shoftim Pinchas is still alive and Pinchas never dies, he just changes his name to Eliyahu Hanavi and he will be the redeemer of Bnei Yisroel when Mashiach comes and he will blow the shofar that will let us all know Mashiach is here. I chose to make shofar cupcakes to speed the coming of Mashiach.

May this shabbos be calm and safe in Israel and may the coming of Mashiach come quick.

Good Shabbos

Last weeks Parsha was Parshat Balak. We learned about Balak and Bilaam. Hashem sent a talking donkey to stop Bilaam from curing Bnei Yisroel. I chose to make donkey cupcakes in the colors of the American flag for July 4th!
