Moshe Heinemann: A matzah that is completely white on both sides should not be used, since it may not have been thoroughly baked. Matzah meal should be slightly brown in color, which indicates a better bake on the matzos that were used for the matzah meal.
WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.

The Wise Thief's Prayer: Glorious thief on the right, you, alone, of all the great penitent righteous were directly canonised by Moshiach Himself; you were assured of a place in Shamayim with Him "today" because of the sincere confession of your transgressions to Him in the tribunal of Calvary and your true sorrow for them as you hung beside Him in that open confessional; you who by the direct sword thrust of your love and t'shuvah did open the Heart of Yeshua in mercy and forgiveness even before the centurion’s spear tore it asunder; you whose face was closer to that of Yeshua in His last agony, to offer Him a word of comfort, closer even than that of His Beloved Ima Miriam; you who knew so well how to pray, teach me the words to say to Him to gain pardon and the grace of perseverance; and you who are so close to Him, now, in Shamayim, as you were during His last moments on earth, pray to Him for me that I shall never again desert Him, but that at the close of my life I may hear from Him the words He addressed to you: "Today, thou shalt be with Me in Paradise…" Ameyn.
The Dismas Brotherhood’s Prayer of Archangel Mikha'el: Archangel Mikha'el, defend us in battle. Be our guard against the Wickedness and Snares of the Devil. May G-d rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host by the Divine Power of G-d cast into Sheol Satan and all the Evil Demons who roam throughout the World seeking the ruin of souls. Omeyn.

hey anyone wanna write for @JewnitedNations? im looking to expand staff. c'mon all the cool kids are doing it: http://t.co/siLFXxaPny

Eval: Shal~om-Shal~om,
Sorry for the delayed response to your tweet to contribute to JN magazine (I am not on twitter), but I was just wondering: do you accept poetry, occasionally?
Since last year, I have focused mainly on the Japanese genre of Haiku and have not submitted much, but the few places I have answered calls can be gleaned there {including links to previous incarnations of writing samples}: http://asherleaks.weebly.com/
I have been conducting novice research on Jews of Color, since circa '07, with a concentration on Pin@y Hudyos: https://www.blogger.com/profile/08593237857512480573
I am also willing to provide articles on a monthly basis, although my prose ~ or so I've been told ~ can be a tad derisive. I try to maximize poetics.
Looking forward to your thoughts...
¡Happy New Year of the Goat, Ram, v Sheep to the JN STAFF!
Respectfully,
e≈2
P.S. Ma Nishtana and i briefly encountered one another at a Be'chol Lashon gathering, prior to his betrothal and baby;
Jewnited Nations: Hi Eval.
We absolutely accept poetry. A couple quick questions:
1-Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and background?
2-Are you able to commit to two posts a month?
3-Do you have any examples of your more "derisive" poems?
Eval: Hey,
Awesome
1-i think, these two micro essays ~ 1 previously published; the other hasn't had any interest ~ pretty much sum up where I am coming from: http://albertrenriquez.blogspot.com/ http://shaarhagayil.blogspot.com/2014/01/to-bullies-width-labhan.html i reside in upstate NY (i also posted a background summary of myself Somewhere on the Manishtana forum)
2-Yes
3-my poems aren't as derisive as my prose, but, here's a comment i made a few minutes ago to an article that delves into race: ||Very weak argument, but I don’t doubt that he’s fairly handsome for an Intsik.||; a prose poem previously published in Progressive Pupil for Afro-Asian Solidarity Month:
Bozrah Bloods
I @m happily estranged from da South Wind (Cornered Inertia). Debating weather to regurgitate Flushing, Queens like Vashti ‘sitting Shiva. Tempted to Slash countries into shower curtain fortunes. What Eve. Sniper King is Mad Latte, but ET is too hotheaded for chimney crowns. Let Wall Ballers sweat Lincoln Tunnel murals. This is what it’s like to Ashe Grand Central Stationary, from a rooftop slumber party:
Kwanzaa in Bozrah we’re composed entirely of Yakuza breadth.
And a recent haiku:
Operation MaskHoliday PreparationCulture of Carrie
Jewnited Nations: Great! Doesn't seem too derisive to us. Welcome aboard! Do you have a Facebook?
Eval: Yay! Yes, but the Public posts are really, really derisive; my family account is boring. Is that where I need to check in?

thank you so much for the opportunity to contribute to Jewnited Nations; i hope to shower the Staff and Your burgeoning readership with timely ditties:

Mabuhay Donuts

Daughters of Labhan
You may call them "sufganiyot," but I call them "jelly-filled goodness from the 2 Filipino ladies who run the 24-hour Donut Hut." #hanukkah
— Kat Lenhart (@katlenhart) December 21, 2011
Now, why the Filipino donut? In the book there are a few Filipino characters: a boy who delivers the detective his lumpia, housemaids, a chauffer, hired thugs and the one who owns a donut coffee shop called Mabuhay Donuts. He is a 70-year old Filipino ex-boxer who is a valuable ‘informant’ to the detective.
Pages 172 - 173:
The Filipino-style Chinese donut, or shtekeleh, is the great contribution of the District of Sitka to the food lovers of the world. In its present form, it cannot be found in the Philippines. No Chinese trencherman would recognize it as the fruit of his native fry kettles. Like the storm god Yahweh of Sumeria, the shtekeleh was not invented by the Jews, but the world would sport neither God nor the shtekeleh without Jews and their desires. A panatela of fried dough, not quite sweet, not quite salty, rolled in sugar, crisp-skinned, tender inside, and honeycombed with air pockets. You sink it in your paper cup of milky tea and close your eyes, and for ten fat seconds, you seem to glimpse the possibility of finer things.
The hidden master of the Filipino-style Chinese donut is Benito Taganes, proprietor and king of the bubbling vats of Mabuhay, dark, cramped, invisible from the street, stays open all night long. It drains the bars and the cafés after hours, concentrates the wicked and the guilty along its chipped formica counter, and thrumps with the gossip of criminals, policemen, shtarkers and shlemiels, whores and night owls. With the fat applauding in the fryers, the exhaust fans roaring, and the boom box blasting the heartsick kundimans of Benito’s Manila childhood, the clientele makes free with their service. A golden mist of kosher oil hangs in the air and baffles the senses. Who could overhear with ears full of KosherFry and the wailing of Diomedes Maturan? But Benito Taganes overhears, and he remembers. Benito could draw you a family tree for Alexei Lebed, the chieftain of the Russian mob, only on it you would find not grandparents and nieces but bagmen, bump-offs, and offshore bank accounts. He could sing kundimans of wives who remain loyal to their imprisoned husbands and husbands doing time because their wives dropped dimes on them.
