5) Spell it Out
Here's a fun and easy way to make a spe-
cial dessert just for the day.
Start with the dough:
3/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 cups flour
Place butter or margarine in mixer
and blend about 1 minute, until
smooth. Add sugar and mix again. Then
add egg and almond extract and stir. In
another bowl, mix flour, salt and baking
powder. Slowly add this to butter mix-
ture and beat for a few minutes.
Divide dough in half and wrap each
in plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator and
chill for a minimum of one hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly
flour your working surface. Remove one
packet of dough (keep other in refrigera-
tor until ready for use).
Take about 2 tablespoons dough and
roll into a rope about 10" long.
Now comes the fun part. Shape each
rope into a letter to spell out "Happy
Birthday Israel" or "I Love Israel" or
whatever you come up with.
If you like, you can lightly brush the
cookies with milk and sprinkle with col-
ored sugar (blue, of course). Place on an
ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10
minutes. Allow to cool before removing
from pans. Makes about 24 cookies.
Or, try this dough:
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp vanilla
21/2 cups flour
Place butter or margarine in mixer and
beat about a minute. Add sugar and beat
again. Add milk and vanilla and mix,
then slowly add flour until well mixed.
Divide dough into four parts, wrap each
in plastic and chill about 2 hours, until
firm.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Work
with one packet of dough at a time
(keeping others in refrigerator until
ready for use). On lightly floured sur-
face, roll dough until it's about 1/4-inch
thick.
Use cookie cutters and your imagina-
tion to make faces — of Israeli prime
ministers, of the different kinds of peo-
ple you might see in Israel, of famous
figures from Israeli history.
Bake for about 8 minutes or until
edges are light brown. Makes about 40
cookies.
6) A Pin For Your Thoughts
Israel is famous for its historical mosiacs,
often found on the bottom of ancient
synagogues. Make yourself a lovely piece
of jewelry by creating a mosiac pin.
Try painting broken bits of egg shell
or torn pieces of white cardboard —
whatever you find around the house that
can be used in small pieces. A good jew-
elry backing is the aluminum top or
bottom of a juice can, and you can find
pins (so you can actually wear this) at
most craft-supply stores. It's a good idea
to cover your finished piece with glaze or
clear nail polish.
7) This Will Grow On You
Children love measuring how tall they
have grown over the years. Why not
make a chart that measures their intel-
lectual growth as well?
Take a long piece of butcher paper, or
just tape a few pieces of typing paper
together. Start at the bottom and ask
your child to list 10 facts about Israel.
Each time he or she can bring you more,
add another inch to your chart — and
be sure to write each fact on the chart so
you can remember them all.
When your child has reached 2-feet or
3-feet or whatever you decide in
advance, be sure to give him a great
reward.
8) The Traveling Journal
Here is a fun way to learn what your
family members and friends have to say
about the State of Israel. It's a great way
to make memories and learn interesting
information, too.
Begin by getting some kind of blank
book. You can find wonderfully elabo-
rate and elegant journals at scrapbook
