After our final prayers we broke up to go our own way, I took off my scarf (Tallit), and joined my family before heading off to break-up from a twenty five hours period of fasting. It was the end of Yom Kippur; a time when Jews ask for atonement and repentance. Seconds later in the hallway, my wife divided the craved honey cake between us!

When it came to my daughter’s turn she ordered everything from mixed noodle plates to a full boat of California rolled rice with cream cheese, a divine treat easy to bite because the seaweed is made inside-out, as opposed to typical sushi rolls that are rolled in dried seaweed. For those who are new to Japanese food it is because many people have a hard time biting them.

As the dishes kept coming I ate as any good father does by helping down the wasabi that she doesn’t like. Just as well that I needed her sushi slices for combination plus the sliced ginger, which fortunately no one but me likes. The sashimi was tasty and the recipe blended well with rice and soy sauce.

The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah began last week, so now that Yom Kippur is over we are fully into our 5770th year!
