290. Sufganiyah

sufganiyah, Gedera
Hanukkah, which ends today, celebrates the miracle associated with the temple oil. As a result Jews around the world spend 8 days having an absolute love hate relationship with fried food.
The sufganiyah, which in Israel resembles a regular doughnut, reminds me of when I was young and my family would go to Dunkin' Doughnuts for dinner. My parents would get a dozen doughnuts and every person could choose three. If sufganiyot are related to miracles - it's a miracle I am alive after that!
This heart oozes with sweet love, and will be deeply missed until next year.
This heart would love for others to support Leket Israel in helping to feed the needy http://www.tabletotable.org.il/english/
