parsha bit: Pinchas

When Tzelof'chad died without any sons, his daughters went to Moshe and said "give us an inheritance". Rabbi Natan says that this shows that the tenacity of women is stronger than that of men: when Israel was told to take the land the men rejected their inheritance, saying "let us go back to Egypt". The women, instead, said "give us an inheritance". (Sifrei 133)

fun with cheese!

magid recently linked to this recipe for making paneer, an Indian cheese. I like mattar paneer and generally use soft mozzerella for the cheese, so I decided to try making my own.
