Would you change your diet if animals could talk? In parsha Balak we read the story of Balaam and his talking donkey. It is a remarkable tale of what happens when we simply open our eyes. Our curses can become blessings. We become aware of something divine standing right in front of us. Does vision require something more than seeing? This week we experiment with a menu that is animal free, but will open your eyes to a wide world of flavor.

Let’s try a water challah so we can keep it plant based eliminating the need for eggs in this challah bread.
