Parchment, 2022

An installation of community collected parchment papers exploring the mark made by baking challah bread for Shabbat, leaving an imprint of memory.

Follow @ParchmentProject for more stories and photos behind the parchment prints. 

Challah is often associated with an Ashkenazi egg bread bearing an artfully twisted exterior and a slightly sweet, fluffy interior. But the bread shared at the Shabbat table varies widely from Ethiopian dabo to the slow baked Yemenite kubanah bread to a coiled Sephardic loaf to the pita often enjoyed by artist Rob Shostak’s Syrian-Jewish family. Recently, Shostak took up making the braided loaf weekly. He noticed unusual golden-brown markings left on the parchment paper which revealed the distinctive underbelly of the challah. He set out to gather similar papers to create this installation. Week by week his collection grew as friends and strangers dotingly saved that which is usually discarded. 

Post-bake papers arrived from across Canada and the United States, as well as Israel, England and Germany. Novices and food industry pros, rabbis and artists, Jews and Gentiles, the observant and secular, children and grandparents viewed these accidental prints as snowflakes, finger and footprints, even Rorschach tests. Each sheet is as unique as its baker while retaining a consistency and familiarity akin to the tradition itself, with the oven acting as the serendipitous darkroom “developing” images onto the page. The slow, intentional yet unpredictable manner of assembling these materials mirrors the staggered, capricious nature of making challah. This baking process is, in turn, similar to the adaptability of Jewish life – some push and pull, absorbing local flavours, responding to the surrounding conditions, and experimenting with the ephemeral, essential ingredient of time. 

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote of Jewish ritual as “an architecture of time” calling Sabbaths “our great cathedrals,” rather than grand sacred monuments. In this exhibition, the fleeting way time is marked by the weekly celebration of Shabbat (the seventh day of rest) is made visible in these parchment papers. Shostak explores the impermanence of memory and Shabbat rituals—candles, wine and bread are all consumed—as these flimsy pages become an archive of that which disappeared months ago.

When the pandemic dashed Shostak’s ambitions to host large Friday night gatherings, baking challah became a small gesture to enliven Shabbat dinners for two with his then-new partner. For FENTSTER, this intimate experience expanded into a collective effort during a period marked by separation. The Hebrew word ‘challah’ stems from an ancient Jewish practice that continues today where a portion of dough is set aside as a sacred offering. Participants in Shostak’s project shared with us the significance of setting aside time to bake challah: reclaiming ritual, tasting nostalgia, marking the ebb and flow of the week, connecting to children, parents, partners and friends. Together, this community of bakers set aside their parchment prints—simple offerings with love and legacy baked in.

Hello :) Would you be able to rec some NA books where the protagonist doesn't drink/smoke/do drugs? I find there aren't many relatable characters in this genre for me because I don't do these things, and it's disheartening :(

sorry I should’ve specified in that last ask about NA recs that I would like books within the romance genre :) 

Hi, there!

Most of the NA romance books we know and have read feature drinking to some extent, but these books below feature it in very low doses or, hopefully, if we remember correctly, MCs who don’t drink. Here goes:

Beginner’s Guide: Love and Other Chemical Reactions by Six de los Reyes

Trade Me by Courtney Milan

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata

Interim Goddess of Love by Mina Esguerra

Kulti by Mariana Zapata

Stir Me Up by Sabrina Elkins

Easy by Tammara Webber

Slammed by Colleen Hoover

Hothouse Flower by Krista and Becca Ritchie*

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell**

Come Back to Me by Mila Gray**

Crash Into You by Katie McGarry**

* you should read at least the companion novel Kiss the Sky first, though beware, it features BDSM and the MCs love wine; HF is about KTS’s MC’s sister, but there is some backstory to her and her significant other in KTS** categorized as YA (in US), but is actually a NA novel / borderlines YA/NA

Alcoholism And Effects:

Why is alcohol bad for me? What is alcohol? Are there any benefits with alcoholism? What are the risks? Alcohol is bad for people because it interferes with their judgement and they might also make dangerous mistakes. For example, going to places or doing activities as well as saying things they shouldnt. It also can leas to many health issues. Alcohol is a depressant and it slows down the activity in the brain. Alcohol addiction is the most common type of substance use in the United States. Alcohol can help with the common cold; it shows that moderate drinking led to the decrease in the common cold. There are some risks for instance is it affects a persons thinking; it gets in the way of smart thinking and gets in the way of people behaving in a healthy way. Ignorance is a lot like alcohol; the more you have of it, the less you are able to see its effects on you. By Jay Bylsma. Even though when consumed responsibly alcohol causes mild effects., Alcohol is worse than it is good because it can lead to alcoholism. And alcohol is the one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States. When consumed responsibly, alcohol causes mild effects, drinking red wine in moderation is believed to be good for the heart and contains resveratrol which is a substance that helps control cholesterol, prevent blood vessel damage, and stop blood clots.  By the National Institute on alcohol abuse or alcoholism defined no more than on drink per day for women and no more than two drink for the men. Another example that shows that when consumed responsibly, alcohol causes mild effects is when someone is having a drink while getting together with family or friends can be helpful to relive stress and promote a sense of well-being. It can also encourage social interactions. An example is a study was released back in December that suggested that people who drink regularly live longer that those who dont; another research shows that moderate drinking with the lowest mortality rate. 69 percent nondrinkers died, but also 41 percent moderate drinker did. One other good example is that studies have suggested that moderate drinking might be connected to lower risks of heart attacks, the most common type of stroke, death due to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and gallstones. Even though when consumed responsibly, alcohol causes mild effects., Alcohol is worse than it is good because it can lead to alcoholism. Alcoholism occurs when you drink a lot that your body eventually becomes dependent on or addicted to the alcohol. It then becomes the most important thing in your life. Those that drink a lot will continue to drink even if they lose their job, or even destroy their relationships with those they love. Most people will drink to the point it causes problems. Some known risk factors include, more than 15 drinks per week for men and more than 12 drinks per week for women. Those wo may be at risk are young adults in peer pressure, low-self-esteem, high levels of stress, and have a close relative with alcohol use disorder. Alcoholics may engage in drinking alone, become violent or angry when someone brings up their drinking habits, not eating or eating poorly, neglecting hygiene, and more. How to tell if you are misusing alcohol; some questions to ask yourself: 1.Do you need to drink more in order to feel the effects? 2.Do you feel guilty about drinking? 3.Do you become violent or irritable when drinking? 4.Do you have problems at school or work due to drinking? 5.Do you think it might be better if you cut back on drinking? The usual alcohol content: -Beer 2-6% alcohol -Cider 4-8% alcohol -Wine 8-20% alcohol -Tequila 40% or more alcohol -Rum 40% or more alcohol -Brandy 40% or more alcohol -Gin 40-47% alcohol -Whiskey 40-50% alcohol -Vodka 40-50% alcohol -Liqueurs 15-60% alcohol Alcoholism is a well-documented pathological reaction to unresolved grief. By David Cook, Alcohol becomes a poison when you drink it with a heavy heart. By Lee Chang The most important reason alcohol is worse that it is beneficial. Is because alcohol is one of the leafing causes of preventable deaths in the United States. Some alcohol related deaths in short-term is driving drunk and alcohol-involved violence, Alcohol overdoses occur for a small percentage of all alcohol- related deaths. Most alcoholics die from long-term health problems caused by alcohol like liver disease, heart-problems, or even cancer. 88,000 deaths per year are caused by alcohol, 10,497 people died in an alcohol-impaired driving crashes back in 2016, 19,500, or 3.5 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States were related to alcohol back in 2009, 38.1 percent of people killed by homicide or law enforcement back in 2013 have tested positive for alcohol, and 38.2 percent of individuals who have died by suicide back in 2013 have tested positive for alcohol. Another example that shows that alcohol is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United Stated is the peer-reviewed medical journal; The Lancet found drinking alcohol was connected to nearly 1 in 10 deaths of individuals ages 15 to 49 years old. The causes include Tuberculosis, road injuries, and even self-harm. Research shows the Burden of alcohol consumption was worse than previously reported and called for more regulations around alcohol use. So, it is evident that although alcohol produces mild impacts when consumed responsibly, alcohol is worse than healthy because of two primary reasons. First, it can result in alcoholism. Most importantly, however, alcohol is one of Americas leading causes of preventable deaths. Alcohol may be a mans worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy By Frank Sinatra., 99% of all problems can be solved by money-and for the other 1% theres alcohol. By Quentin R Bufogle., Alcohol removes inhibitions like that scared little mouse who got drunk and shook his whiskers and shouted, Now bring on that damn cat. By Eleanor Early.

Costa Blanca South Bowls Roundup

Horadada Bowls Club by Irene Graham On Monday in the Discovery Division the Falcons were at home to Vistabella Eagles and we really needed a far better result than what was achieved considering we were playing the team at the bottom of the division.  The teams were quite well matched throughout with one rink cancelling out another.  It was down to the last rink to finish to see which side got the overall shots.  Horadada were holding 5 shots with one bowl to come. Their skip came in with the best of bowls and stole them all from us.  We won on 2 rinks and lost on 3 with Vistabella obtaining the overall shots.  The final result was 91 shots for to 95 against giving us 4 points to 8 against.  Our winning rinks were: Wayne Jackson, Les Davies and Mick Kirby 27 – 19, Tracey Paffett, Ken barber and Roy Thomson 18 – 14 Well played to both of our winning rinks.  There are two matches left to play in the winter league, both at home.  We can still do this Falcons. There are only 4 points between us and the team above us in the table, so all to play for in these final games.  We have the knowledge, we have the skill, we have the man power and most of all we have that drive to succeed. On Friday in the Southern League the Royals were at home to San Luis Leopards.  What a beautiful sunny warm morning and it certainly shone on the Royals.  Most of the rinks were nip and tuck with the lead changing back and forth a few times.  Horadada just pulled ahead in the closing ends.  Friday’s result made it three in a row for the Royals.  Our winning rinks were: John Goddard, Mick Kirby and Bryan Eatough 20 – 13 Carol Linehan, Wayne Jackson and Sheila Westwood 33 – 13 Irene Graham, Alan Miller and Terry Hucknall 21 – 16 Dave Bracken, Jack Linehan and Barry Evans 22 – 10 We just missed a clean sweep by two shots. The final result was 116 shots for Horadada to 74 against giving us 10 points to 2 against. Very well played to all of our players.  Our last match is against the top of the table, but we are at home so let’s make it count Team Horadada. Horadada offers a warm welcome to new or experienced bowlers, and provides the necessary equipment.  Our roll-up days for this friendly club are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings.  Please contact Fred Trigwell on 659139129 for more information. La Siesta Bowls Club By Rod Edgerton Disappointing Monday for our 3 teams on Monday in matches against teams from San Luis.

The Albatrosses were away to San Miguel Beagles, they kept the game tight on four rinks with the fifth struggling to keep up, the end result didn’t reflect the effort they put in. Shots, VB 70(2) - 103(10) SM. The Drivers at home got mauled by the San Miguel Alsatians, Their only point came from a drawn game, I’m sure they would like to forget this one.

COUNTRY BOWLS CLUB Firstly, many apologies with a mistake made regarding the names of one of the winning teams. Last Monday in the match against El Rancho, rink 3 should have read Graham Richardson, Pat Ray & Brian Ray 44 – 4. Again apologies to Pat & Brian Ray, a tremendous result. The Flamingos travelled to El Rancho to take on the Raiders this Monday. Not withstanding the tricky rinks there was a strong wind blowing, making conditions extremely challenging. As you would expect the home team made the most of the conditions and the Flamingos struggled to show their own craft. In the end it was the ‘old dependable’s’  Graham Richardson, Pat Ray & Brian Ray who collected our only points. Well done. There were some very hard games being fought but sadly the Flamingos came out second best. Better luck next time Flamingos. The Geckos, today welcomed the La Siesta Golds to their club for a return match. Having lost 9-3 away at La Siesta earlier in the season, the Geckos were out for revenge today. La Siesta Golds are currently 4th in the league so it was going to be a tough game but the Geckos were determined to take the shine off the Golds!! The game was nip and tuck for the first half with the Golds giving as well as they were getting. At the end the Geckos had achieved their revenge in bucket loads with a 10-2 win and shots of 116-64. The victors were: Sylvia Rennie, Jean Turner, Jim Rennie 29-9; Viv Brown, Pat Ray, Brian Ray 28-7; Carole Donnellan, Les Turner, Den Birkett 31-13; Graham Richardson, Pat Emmett, Geoff Paylor 21-15. A great win for Country Bowls Geckos. In the penultimate game of the season 5th place Country Bowls Cubs had their work cut out against 3rd place La Marina Merlins in their away match on Friday afternoon. Games flowed back and forth and the standard of bowling was exceptional. The Cubs were hoping to take leave with some points in the bag and managed to win on 2 rinks giving them 4 points which was not too shabby a result for the newcomers to the league. The shots were 90 to 72 in La Marinas favour with the overall score being 8 - 4 to the home team. Well done Cubs. Winning rinks were Joel Fernandez, Agnes Burke, Lynne Bryce and Chris Stevens, Craig Dyson, Andrew Bryce.

Helga Schiffman, Janet Wright and David Wright 19-16. Tony Abbott, Debbie Ham and Adrian Ham 15-12. Dolly Ford, Carol Gray and John Richards 16-14. Gary Dunstone, Tony Robinson and Mike Ager 17-21. Ngaio Baldwin, Ann Abbott and Pete Baldwin 21-16. The Pintos were at La Marina playing the Pathfinders were a stiff breeze caused a little consternation, but the Pathfinders took advantage of the home mat, taking 3 rinks to the Pintos 2. But 2 rinks away from home is always a good result. In the afternoon the Raiders played host to Country Bowls Flamingos and also put in a great effort, taking the rinks by 4 to 1 and the overall shots, a great result. Monday morning found the Raiders at Greenlands playing the elms and put on a good show in taking 2 rinks, a good away result, well done all. Meanwhile the Broncos had a tough fixture at Montemar against the Matadors, always a difficult opponent, though a favourite of mine. Although the Broncos came away without a point, they put in a good effort and played well. The Mustangs were playing host to the Picadors from Vistabella and what a splendid morning’s bowls we had, with opposition leads all over the jack from the start, just shows our opponents just need to try. Though the home team will always have the mat advantage. The Mustang played well, as did the Picadors, but in the end a hard fought match brought all the rinks to the Mustangs.
