A few years ago, a lovely mother sent me this. Her son wanted to dress up as the carrot from our book What if Vegetables were People! Just so so cute! And awesome costume mum!

Tell me…if you could dress up as any veggie, what would it be?

(The book is available at www.Foost.com.au/shop)

I have just restocked the veggie snack box. The veggie snack box is something I started last year. A box of washed and ready to eat raw veggies so we have veggies to grab for snacks or add to a meal. Just open the tub. (Add a dip optional).

Over summer our eating has been more at hoc. I have inconsistently filled the veggie box and the fruit bowl. Whilst I have enjoyed a quieter pace, I do think I eat more fruit and veggies and more variety when in routine.

With back to school, this week is back to routine.

Do you tend to eat more variety and more fruit and vegetables in the routine or on holidays?

It’s my birthday! Celebrate with me with 44% off the entire Foost website for 44 hours!

Body, weight, aging…it’s big business! Businesses make lots of money making people feel insecure. Telling people what to wear, what to look like, and how to look younger than your age. I say be proud! So I’m embracing this birthday!

Use the code “birthday44” at the checkout at www.foost.com.au/shop. If you don’t need anything please share this with anyone with children aged 2-10 who might love a kids safe knife or veggie loving books.

Yesterday I attended a memorial service for the victims of the Bondi tragedy. It was lead by Chabad communities in Melbourne. The rabbis leading the event were good friends of the rabbis murdered (that was a Chabad organised event). There were prayers and words. Names and images of the passed away and injured. It was also attended by local MPs. There was police and private security on the door. But there was a few others elements that showed the strength and beauty of the Jewish people that I thought I would share….

After the prayers, there was singing. After the singing there was the lighting of the Chanukah menorah. There was the overarching message that in the darkness, we must continue to make light. Whilst the candles burned, there were donuts. It’s a strange feeling, to have such grief and mourning, with some anger and at a time that is usually celebration.

After some MPs spoke, one rabbi thanked them for their support but also highlighted the failure by the government for the Jewish Australian people. Since October 7, antisemitism has grown in Australia and hate has been allowed to reign. So many of the victims came to Australia for a safer home, and Australia has failed them.

At the end of the event it was mentioned that the upcoming Chanukah event at Westfield Southland has been cancelled (allegedly by Westfield). I looked up the website and all I can see is a statement of support. I also read somewhere that Westfield had apparently provided the menorah at Bondi. I have many questions and not many answers. And thinking verbal support is not enough, it needs to be supported by action.

On the drive home I received a voice memo from a wife of a rabbi in Melbourne. She was talking about the difficult decision to move another Chanukah event from a public park into a non public closed indoor space. It was a hard decision because they want people to feel safe, well more than that, they want people to be safe. But when we start to change our actions from threats of violence, the evil starts to win. But without adequate support, safety can’t be increased.

In modern Australia, how are people not safe and free to harmlessly celebrate their culture?

I’ve spent the last 24 hours not knowing what to do, not knowing what to say. My thoughts and love go out to the families affected by the tragedy at Bondi. To the first responders and upstanders. To the entire Jewish community who feel this pain, in th present and the past trauma it triggers. And to anyone who has experienced prejudice and discrimination.

I’m not sure what to say, so I’ve decided to share a little of my family’s story. Because I think many of my followers are not Jewish, and perhaps this is a chance for a little deeper understanding.

It seems unbelievable, yet also expected. Gun violence is so rare in Australia, but sadly Antisemitism is not. Chanukah is the most public of Jewish holidays. Growing up we often went to big public Chanukah events in the park. My mum would always feel uncomfortable, a little unsafe. She would say to me “it’s too many Jewish people at once place, too much of a target”. I never actually thought her words would ring true. Not here in Australia.

It’s a fear always just under the surface. My family are Holocaust survivors. Two of my grandparents endured the war in a Russian labour camp they physically built. I had an aunt who died in the camp at two years old of starvation. And they were “lucky”. Their train went to Russia, not Auschwitz like most of their family. It took them seven years travelling from liberation to “freedom” in Australia where they continued to hide their Jewish identity. My grandma wasn’t free, she was completely traumatised. There was no therapy. There was hard work and survival. My other grandparents left Europe just before war broke. They came to Australia via Singapore. Arriving in Australia they were interned in a camp in rural Australia. Living behind fences, but in a safer country.

Growing up in school, people would say to each other “don’t be a Jew” as an insult. Later I would walk past security guards when dropping my children at kinder. On October 7, I had many missed calls from my dad checking I was okay (even though we live on the other side of the world). This is living trauma. Living discrimination. And it just got a whole lot worse….

They were an absolute pleasure to work with - friendly, professional, and dedicated throughout the entire day.
