Hank Ebner Honored for Saintly Service [video]

Hank ‘Ebbna’ Ebner was honored Friday, May 9th, 2010 for his saintly service to the University of Iowa Hillel. His spirit and dedication for the organization was highlighted by director Jerry Sorokin and commemorated through the gift of a Siddur and plate on a plaque. In addition, the mob closet was officially named in honor of his hard work! From all of your friends in Iowa City, congratulations Hank, and good luck to you as you embark on life’s journey.

Fish and Farfel

Ok, well not really Farfel, but it’s close.  It’s difficult to find tasty Passover food, especially in Iowa.  Gus along with Cheryl the holiday cook made Kosher for Passover bagels.

While I’ve personally offered to chop off Gus’s hair and give it to ‘Locks for Mops’ (an organization that provides mops to under-privileged families), the bagels and fish were pretty amazing.  Add some onions, tomatoes, and cream cheese, and you have yourself a real good ol’ fashioned Sunday brunch.
