This Passover ‘Big Bang Theory’ Song Parody Is Gold

Kveller Staff

There's another Passover parody you need to watch. This one from Six13 takes on our fave sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. The song is set to the tune of the show, and the video captures the… deliciously nerdy vibe of The Big Bang Theory, a show about what happens scientists are roommates and love enters into the picture. (And you know, Mayim Bialik is one of the characters, which makes it a million times more awesome). The tune expertly sums up pretty much the whole story of Passover in under 30 seconds —… >> Read More

What To Do When Passover Falls on Good Friday

Melissa Henriquez

I was plugging some upcoming work travel into my Outlook calendar two weeks ago when it suddenly dawned on me: Passover was seriously soon.

Here’s a Healthy Hamantaschen Recipe

Kenden Alfond

I have lived outside of the US since 2005. I've lived and worked in India, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Switzerland, and now, Cambodia. (How I arrived in Southeast Asia is a long story,… but the short version is that my husband and I started an international school here.) As I moved around the globe, the food culture of each country in which I lived influenced me. In Afghanistan, I got into a habit of drinking green tea at the office, and munching on yellow raisins and nuts, as… >> Read More
