In this week’s Parsha, we encounter another ethical dimension of the Torah, recognizing the special bond between parents and children. A newborn calf, lamb or kid must be left with its mother for seven days before being eligible to be brought as an offering and it is not permissible to slaughter an animal and its offspring on the same day. As Mother’s Day falls the day after this Shabbos this year, it is an especially timely and timeless story.
This year instead of just celebrating Mom for one day, we will celebrate her all Shabbat long starting with this delicious dinner even the kids can make with just a little help from Dad.
Pan-fried fish fillets, marinated in a lemon, garlic and fresh herb sauce is an easy dish that can be made hours or even a day ahead. For little and big kids: Let them dredge the fish and mix up the marinade.
This clever quiche uses mostly egg whites, lots of veggies and no cheese, which keeps it light and healthy. For little kids: Let them whisk the eggs and grease the muffin tin. For big kids: Let them crack and separate the eggs and portion mixture into tins.
