Food 4 Thought
Wine is the traditional symbol of joy that is used on many festive occasions. The Jewish people are compared to wine in a number of places in scripture, and the metaphor is pretty accurate. Wine takes time to produce, but also has to go through quite a process. In order to make delicious wine or grape juice, the grape has to be crushed in order to bring out its true potential. And just as wine also improves with age, we want our lives to improve with age too! Understand more about the symbolism of wine.

A delightfully unique apple cake that’s both whimsical and elegant – layers upon layers of delicately thin apple slices, all wrapped in a creamy, sweet custard. With each bite, you get the soft, spiced apple and silky custard melt together in a way that makes it irresistible. A perfect showstopper for holiday gatherings, it’s a dessert that feels both comforting and extraordinary."
