Mediterranean Shabbat Menu

Moses and Aaron come before Pharaoh and demand their freedom. Amid signs and wonders, Pharaoh will not acknowledge the sovereignty of any power other than his own. The Torah recounts that “the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he would not let the children of Israel go.” Symbolic of Pharoh’s hardened heart we like to serve artichokes.  This year we serve it in the main course with a delicious chicken recipe.
