Onion Rings Wedding Rings
In this week’s Parsha Avraham’s servant Eliezer goes to find a wife for Yitzchak. Yitzchak marries Rivkah so the food of the week is onion rings which look like wedding rings.
Onion rings can be made in different sizes with larger onion rings representing the bracelets Eliezer gave Rivkah as jewelry and a smaller onion ring representing a wedding ring.
Shabbat Shalom and B’tayavon!
