My grandmother Pearl would make this Strawberry Ice-Cream every year for Passover, as far as I remember.   I looked forward to three things during my grandparents Passover Service, (1)welcoming Elijah, (2) searching for the afikoman under Grandfather's corduroy chair, (3)Eating Grandma's strawberry passover cedar.   I hope you enjoy sharing the ice-cream with your family this spring.   One can also use fresh strawberries instead of the frozen variety.  Shalom Aleichem.

Yamulkas in Berlin 1:30

However disagreeable the phenomenon may seem at moments of sensitivity it is seldom more than trivial. The dislike of Jews was a ready way for WASP literati to identify themselves with the great tradition. Besides, it is something like a hereditary option for non-Jews to exercise at a certain moment when they discover that they have a born right to decide whether they are for the Jews or against them. (Jews have no such right.)-Saul Bellow as quoted from the Jewish Literary Review

So, what's It About Man?

Tevye reads the psalms and reflects on the state of the Jewish People.  A people still in exile.   Tevye is speaking to Shalom Aleichem, and Shalom Aleichem is writing down the words.   I can envision a little imp like man, with a round belly, speaking in time with Fiddler on the Roof: If I were A Rich Man. This was the last Tevye story written.
