Dearest Bubby's Kitchen Noshers,

The moment has arrived and its bigger than an ess-a-bagel poppy loaded with whitefish and the works...
The Official Bubby's Kitchen Hits NY Kickstarter Campaign has been launched and I am asking you all for your help.

I am seriously #blessed (I did it - first time ever usage of #blessed) to have had your support in telling my Bubby's story around the country over these last seven years. The opportunity I have now to perform the show in NYC April 28-30 and finally bring in theatrical industry professionals and a broader audience of theatre goers and is one that I have been working towards for so many years, and I really need your support!

So, if you love the story of Bubby's Kitchen, if you feel that the central theme of family, love, legacy, and survival touches your heart and you want it to reach a larger audience, and even if you just love stuffed cabbage on a cold winter's night, please consider donating to this Kickstarter campaign and sharing the link with your own friends, families and networks. You'll not only be helping me raise the funding needed to produce this production, but you'll help me in spreading the word about the show which is just as important.

And gifts! Did I mention gifts...? Should you donate, you'll be the recipient of some serious Bubby's swag...
So check out the K ickstarter Campaign link right here and help me bring Bubby's Kitchen to the Big Apple and shmear the town with lox and love!

In Gratitude
xoxo Shira

A Special Birthday in Bubby's Kitchen!
Find out what's cooking in this week's newsletter.

Dearest Bubby's Kitchen Noshers,

Today is an incredible day of celebration in Bubby's Kitchen because today my hero, an inspiration to me and so many others, Bubby Judith Ginsburg, turns 91 years young!

A little bit about Bubby:
Bubby Judith Ginsburg was born Yudis Kosczzanska on January 6, 1925 in Lida, Poland (now Bellarus.) One of five children, four girls and one boy, Judith was the only member of her immediate family to survive the Holocaust. Judith survived the war by living and fighting in the forest as a member of both the Raschinsky and Bielski Paritsan units. In 1945 she married Motke Ginsburg, also a Partisan who fought in the Russian unit, Iskra. They spent four years in Ferenvald, a Displaced Persons camp in Germany where they had their first two children, Howard and Riva. Judith and her family immigrated to Troy, NY in 1949 and had two more children, Fran and Sheri. There they began a new life focusing on creating a beautiful and vibrant family. Now a permanent resident in Coconut Creek, Florida, Judith is the proud Bubby to ten grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, the newest one was born JUST YESTERDAY! (Another major mazal tov!)

Bubby is featured today on the Jewish Partisans Educational Foundations FB page in honor of her birthday, you can check it out here

If you want to write a Happy Birthday message to Bubby yourself, post onehere on the Bubby's Kitchen Facebook page and they'll all be read to her tonight at her birthday dinner!

And lastly, the other big news on the street is that Bubby's Kitchen is-a-coming to New York City April 28, 29, and 30! For more information and to purchase tickets click here!

Sending lots of love and best wishes for a wonderful 2016!

xoxo Shira

Dearest Bubby's Kitchen Noshers,

Once again the season of renewal, returning, and re-heating Rosh Hashanah leftovers at 11pm is upon us. The High Holidays are also a time to reflect on who and what we are grateful for and an opportunity to acknowledge the people that make our lives ever better, more whole, and more fully realized with their presence.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and love in all of my Bubby's Kitchen endeavors and beyond. I realize over and over again at this time every year, that our relationships with others, our dedication to each other as family, friends, community, and citizens on this earth are the only things that truly matter. So thank you for being a part of my life and for infusing it with support, meaning, laughter, and joy.

I also want to invite you to join me in celebrating the holidays via live stream for any or all of our East End Temple's Holiday services. Whether you have tickets to a service or not, you can tune in and join me at any of the times listed below. I'll be the one on the bima wearing Zayde's Tallis...

Sept 13, 7:30pm - Erev Rosh Hashanah
Sept 14, 10am - Rosh Hashanah
Sept 22, 7:30pm - Kol Nidrei
Sept 23, 10am - Yom Kippur Morning
12:45pm - Yizkor
4:30pm - Afternoon services
5:45pm- Neila and Havdalah

And lastly, whether you celebrate or not, I want to wish you all a happy, healthy, and incredibly sweet New Year! May you be inscribed in the Book of Life and may you somehow get your hands on a very coveted piece of Bubby's rugalach...

Shana Tova U'mituka,
xoxo Shira

Bubby's Kitchen gets Remodeled!

Dearest Bubby's Kitchen Noshers,

I wanted to let you all know that the Bubby's Kitchen website got a makeover this summer! The countertop is a shining pink formica dream come true, the floor is gleaming with Lysol concentrate, and the sink has been so thoroughly scrubbed with Comet and a Brillo pad that you can now use it as a mirror… Perhaps most importantly however, the kitchen should now be safeguarded against those pesky door to door hackers hocking their viagra every time you log in to your email.

I hope you are all having a delightful summer running in and out of sprinklers and open fire hydrants in your gatkes - and I guess now you know how i've spent my summer as well...

Lots of good stuff is cooking up for Bubby's Kitchen in the upcoming year so stay tuned for more details coming this Fall! In the meantime, check out the new website at www.bubbyskitchen.com (same URL) and let me know what you think!

Note from Bubby: Wear sunscreen!

xoxo Shira
