Rochel Grunewald

A Novel Rochel Grunewald

Of course he did. Taffy always knew. And besides, she’d reminded him

of the big news just last night, before she fell asleep. They’d snuggled

under the covers together with just a crack open so she could still see

the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling, and she’d whispered, “Taffy,

it’s tomorrow. Tomorrow, Abba’s getting married again.”

When Laylie’s father remarries, she and her older siblings gain more

than just a new mother. Abba’s wife Shifra comes along with several

children of her own…children who are not very happy about their

newly blended family.

Michal, Laylie’s older sister who has mothered her three younger

siblings since their mother passed away, is trying valiantly to rise above

her pain and make things work. Yet Shifra’s two teenage daughters,

Tali and Nina, seem determined to make Michal, and everyone else in

the family, miserable and destroy any chance of them ever becoming a

real family. Will they come to the realization that they are sabotaging

their own chances at happiness, before it’s too late?

“Do you know what’s happening today, Taffy?”

A compelling read for teens and young adults, Stargazing explores

intricate family and social dynamics. Complex characters grapple

with painful emotions, as they confront their difficulties and struggle

to rise above them. Woven throughout is the powerful message that

just like the stars glow brightest at night, when life is challenging, we

have the greatest ability to shine.

I t’s a memory I can revisit and never tire of. Sitting around my mother’s round kitchen table with my

siblings, a big ball of gingerbread dough representing a wealth of delicious untapped potential on a baking paper in front of each child. We could roll it, cut it, make men, make cookies, open a bakery – all while nibbling on the spicy, fragrant, pliable dough. We were cooks, bakers, sculptors, artists for the afternoon, whilst still safely cocooned in the warmest, safest place on Earth.

Who doesn’t want their children to en- joy the simple pleasure of cooking and baking in the home kitchen? It’s a cost-effec- tive activity, it’s creative, and it’s safe (well, with precau- tions). But on the other hand, the mess, the inconvenience, the

sheer hassle of the invasion of your own space can make the prospect

of having your kids join you in the kitchen

daunting.

Libby J. is used to having her children’s company as she cooks

bakes and cleans up. “Sometimes I’ll do something fun with my kids, like biscuits

with shape cutters or rum balls; that’s when I’m in my “good-mother” mode,” says Libby J. “but most times, the kids just stick around in the kitchen and help me along with whatever I have to do.”

Chana Yanofsky, Occupational Therapist, says that not every kitchen task is suitable for young children. “I would recom-mend cooking tasks no longer than 20 minutes in which the child can see all stages of preparation including the final product. It’s difficult for a child to focus for longer than that.”

Perhaps the most an-noying sight a kitch-en can witness is half–made concoctions and open ingredients left on the counter from an unfinished baking spree. But even when children do have

the patience to see a task through, can they realistically be expected to clean up too?

“In our home,” says Suri, mother of ten, “if the kids want to cook or bake, I try to let them. They have

to put the ingredients away, and finish the job, but they don’t have to wash the dishes. You can’t expect them to be

grown-ups…”

Often, the most enthusiastic cooks are the under-ten crew. Surprisingly, they can be pretty capable. “Some of my children were ready to scramble their own eggs at age 9, some at 12,” Suri says. Yet finding jobs which will satisfy and not overwhelm is a challenge.

“When my daughter was seven, she wanted an Erev Shab-bos cooking job, like the big ones,” says Lisa Frisch. “That was hard – I knew she would need more help and attention, and I didn’t have time to teach culinary skills on Erev Shabbos. So I bought some cake mixes – which literally have three steps to completion, and let her gain confidence by being able to ac-complish those without needing to ask me about ten different ingredients.”

Libby shares some of her ideas. “My oldest child, an eight year old boy, has his Erev Shabbos job of preparing tea essence and filling up the Shabbos kettle. Also – and this is something he loves – he prepares a lovely little tray for my husband and I to break our fasts on after a taanis: coffee, tea, biscuits, cake – all nicely presented. I think the sense of accomplishment is great for him, he’s learning responsibility and he glows from our positive feedback. My six year old son, meanwhile, has an Erev Shabbos job of grating the hard-boiled eggs.”

There should not be a pressure to create sous chefs out of children when they are young, in order to ease your own cook-ing burden. “If the kids are interested, then kol hakavod, but I

don’t enlist their help. I’m very happy to cook without them around,” Chaya

says. “There are certainly other ways to teach responsibility. I

was never allowed into my mother’s kitchen, and I

don’t remember wanting to cook, yet I grew up to be a food columnist and recipe developer.”

When the child themselves is motivat-ed to produce results in the kitchen, it is worth allowing them in

and encouraging them. Lisa’s ten year old makes

potato kugel for her family of eight and her sister–in–

law’s brood every Friday.

“The fresh potato kugel on Friday afternoon was my hus-band’s specialty,” Lisa explains. “Then he changed jobs and started to come home a lot later on Fridays. My son loved this potato ku-gel, and he was determined to take over. My husband wrote out the recipe in simple terms, and he’s become so proficient.

“I have the potatoes already peeled when he comes home, and my son makes three batches of potato kugel. He’s learned how to work so quickly that the machine doesn’t even need to be washed in between batches. Then he washes it

all up. He gets a special corner piece when it’s ready, and he basks in the compliments, especially when we have Shabbos guests. Now he’s already offering to take over the tomato dip which my husband whips up when he comes home.”

“I have to spend some of my home time in the kitchen anyway, so why not bond with the kids

while I’m there?” Libby sums up her perspec-tive. But if you don’t often have the time or patience to let your kids tag along as you fix the family’s meals, just make sure baking features sometimes as a special

activity. Whether they get to pour in the oil, shape the cookies, or just lick the bowl

and spatula, your children will have memories to treasure.

I barely spent a

minute in the kitchen as a teen, and now I’m a food columnist.

What practical skills and tools are your kids learning while they are under your

feet in the kitchen? Mathematics — “My daughter makes the farfel every Friday. I give her the recipe, but if we have guests she has to double it. It brings her Maths skills into the real world.” Lisa F.

Use of time — “My son was invited by a friend to come over on a Friday, but he still wanted to make his potato kugel. He figured out how to speed up the process, clean up, and still have time to go out.” Lisa F.

Kashrus — “Checking the eggs together is always fun, especially if there’s a blood spot. Live in-house kashrus demo.” Frumit J.

Muscle strength and fine motor skills — “All that kneading, grating and sifting is good for the arm muscles. Chopping and peeling are fine motor skills.” Chana Y.

Creativity — “Preparing foods that are versatile (Jello, for example. You can prepare it in different shaped cups, with added chopped fruit, in empty orange peels) helps children to think creatively and out of the box.” Chana Y.

Safety and hygiene — “When you have your kids in the kitchen with you, you’re modeling hand washing and knife and blade safety. You’re educating them about nutrition every time you talk about protein and starch and fruit and vegetables.” Libby J.

Emotional benefits — Cooking and baking are relaxing, enjoyable tasks which can develop into a hobby for some children.

Confidence — “My children experience such a sense of accomplishment from their successful foods. Especially when we have guests, it is so empowering for the kids to tell people that the kugel or dessert is their creation.” Lisa F.
